I seriously need my head examined.
Still I have made my list. 101 things in 1001 days or Day Zero Project as it's sometimes known. And I have to admit that seeing it all written down seems just a little daunting and makes me wonder if I'll be able to complete one thing on my list let alone 101. Still having goals is good and I'm hoping that having this list will motivate me more as well as pushing me out of my comfort zone, even if just a little bit.
And of course having you watch my progress or lack there of may motivate me even more.
Start date: 1 Feb 2018
End date: 29 Oct 2020.

I’m doing this too, but you already know that :)
ReplyDeleteI didn’t need yet another list either but it does help to motivate and spur me on.
I love your first goal, cats are life enhancing in so many ways. I like the telescope idea too.
No.53. Participate in "A photo an hour" and post on my blog, should be an easy one to get you started. Do you follow @ITYDarling and @duckinadress on Twitter? They always tweet a reminder the day before.
I write seasonal lists throughout the year and I’ve started to add some of my Day Zero goals to those lists to help me tick them off. 1001 days seems like a long time but it’ll go so quick!
Weirdly I couldn't remember where I had read about this idea so thanks for the idea, it sounded really good so we'll see how I go :)
