Make Your Own Day Zero Project
If you are like me and you like planning, deadlines and lists, the Day Zero Project might be for you. Day Zero Project also has other lists that you can sign up to be part of. I just chose this one to start with. We will see how this one goes first, haha! I think that lists are great to hold people accountable and remind people of their goals. I will try to update my Day Zero Project list monthly to let you guys know how I am doing {and for personal accountability}. I am not sure if I know anyone else who used Day Zero Project, but if any of you want to join me, I would love to hear how your goal-attaining is going!
Make lists. Get stuff done. I have until 9/28/15 to get these goals accomplished. Wish me luck!

I love posts like this! It's always good to do something publicly to feel accountable for it! Good luck!
Thank you very much! :)

I like the long term aspect of these goals! It seems like a good way to put down all the things you want to do, sometimes I forget about things, or only finish a project half way (my front door is primed but not painted) and I think having a list to "nag" me would be a great motivator for getting things finished. It's great being able to cross something off a list!
I am going to do Day Zero project too, I am just trying to fill in 101 things now :) I'm excited to make this a productive year!
I am going to start the Day Zero Project today, I just need to fill in 101 goals. I'm excited to make this year a productive one!
Please let us know how it goes for you! Good luck!

I just clicked the link and I fully intended to ... maybe... participate in this too! It would be great to have some goals for the year other than to make it go better than last year :) Good luck with yours!
You definitely should! We could motivate each other. :)

I love the idea of saving $10 for every goal accomplished! What a great motivation! I'm working on a list of things I need to accomplish! It's always great to see someone else working on accomplishing their goals!
I am just finishing up my bucket list for 2013, I love your items!
Love your idea of paying yourself to go towards a vacation. That's quite the list but some sound very fun and others I hope you can accomplish, good luck with the sweepstakes!
Thank you!!!!
Dawn
I love your list and love this idea. It seems like by listing them they would be easier to achieve and just check off when accomplished. I love this idea.
I love lists... well, what I really love is crossing things off of a list@ Hope you get to cross all of your off. :)
Thanks! Me too!
