I haven’t stopped working toward my Day Zero goals, but I have mostly stopped updating about them. Why? Because I’m lazy. Here are a few I’ve finished in the past few months:

• add five new pieces to my online portfolio
• join a professional organization (got a complimentary year-long AWP membership, but it counts)
• find a job in my desired career field
• try a new ice cream flavor
• try five new foods (the final three: blueberries, strawberries, lobster)
• learn my credit score
• get rid of 101 items
• buy a pair of jeans that aren’t Silvers
• buy 25 books from independent book stores
• donate to three causes/organizations I care about

I’ve also increased my progress toward the following

• read 50 new novels
• reevaluate 10 books from my childhood
• finish HP2 in French
• finish book of French verb review
• publishing a story in a print journal
• read five books of poetry
• lose 5 pounds, get down to 115 (which now means lose 10 pounds; two months ago it was lose 13 pounds)

I plan on getting to the spa soon, and on getting through a lot of the holiday-related goals. As of right now, I have 46 done and another 14 started. Still a lot to go.
