My Day Zero Project

Sitting on my lunch break and eating last night's leftovers (Baked Ziti if you were wondering, and DEEEEELICIOUS in case you were going to ask) and i was thinking about stuff i wanted to do this summer and that got me thinking about how i always make these big summer plans but the rest of the time is kind of stagnant. I just don't bother doing anything with it and my brain and body are not too proud.

So i've heard a lot about the "day zero project" which is people doing lists of things to do in 1001 days. I thought this seemed a pretty neato idea but i'm game for a bigger challenge so i'm going for a list of 101 things to do in 365 days, that's one year for all you time keepers out there. Since next month marks the halfway point of the year i figured then is as good a time as any to start. So i'm going to start on my Half Birthday which is June 6th and finish same time in 2010 with a party to celebrate my win...or my defeat depending on my list goes !

So i have till say the 5th to finalise and make changes to my list before the big challenge starts and naturally i'll keep you updated.

I hope this is going to go well and inspire me to do more with my time and money and not just waste them on blurry nights (although of COURSE i won't be giving them up at all)

So here goes, i'll be updating this list over the next few weeks since i can't think of 101 things off the top of my head right now that i feel really strongly about. Oh and i'm not putting them in any order of importance. There may be some method to how i lay them out but i'm not sure yet.
