DAY ZERO PROJECT

The Day Zero Project was created by Michael Green as a “unique challenge that inspires you to set and achieve your personal goals in life.” It’s basically creating a list with a deadline to actually give a good reasonable time to complete the items on the list. It also encourages doing the little things we don’t often do because we’re so busy with school, work and life. More info on this @dayzeroproject. This list is ideal for me, as a non-committer and procrastinator because well, I’m going to set realistic goals and with a lee-way of 1001 days, this list is exactly what I need to give my life some more meaning.

I am officially starting this project on AUG.26.2010 and will finish on MAY.23.2013. Wish me luck! (I need to restart it as of 06/14/11)

*if you’d like to participate in this conquest as well, make your own list and if any of them parallel to the things on my list, we can do them together! <3
