Day Zero is the home of the 1001 Day Project. The idea is to create a list of 101 goals to complete within 1001 days (Just shy of 3 years). I decided to create a list of goals for myself and they are posted below, split into categories.

Creating this list took at lot more time than I first anticipated! To come up with things that I wanted to accomplish, it helped to look at other people’s lists on the Day Zero website.

I am starting the 1001 days on December 14th, so my deadline will be September 10th, 2010 (How did I figure that out? Using this website).

In future posts, I will explain some of the 101 goals and track their progress.
