Zero Day List

101 Things in 1001 Days

Recently on the internet, I became aware of a new “project” called Zero Day List. It is basically 101 things that you would like to accomplish with in 1001 days. Things you want to try and add are things that are measurable or have a goal at the end. It’s your own list so anything on it goes. So, here I go, I am going to start my own Zero Day List that I plan on starting on a very good day, August 30, my birthday! From there I have 1001 days to complete EVERYTHING I have listed.
