day ZERO project

Z
Well everyone, it is officially the last day of the A-to-Z Project. I can't believe how quickly this month flew by! I will be posting a summary of challenge and my experience in May, along with the other A-to-Z challengers. I think I will even surprise myself with how much I did.

If you look above this post (what? you only read TYD in a reader? you should stop by sometime), you'll see a tab that says "101 in 1001." That tab is a list of my Day Zero Project goals.  If you'd like to participate all you do is create a list of 101 things you'd like to do in 1001 days.

It sounds pretty simple, however it took me awhile to come up with a list of 101 tasks! In fact, my first task was to come up with 101 tasks! :)

I just looked through my list to see if there was anything I could update. Sure enough, I can!

DONE:

(1) I got a massage in 2011, thanks to a Groupon to Roni Josef salon. It was lovely, once I got over the awkwardness.

(2) Repaint the dresser I hate. I actually sold that dresser before I moved back to small town, so I substituted my drawer pulls on the desk I'm sitting at right now. That should count I think.
(3) Hang a piece of original artwork in my new apartment. I did this down in Big City, and also have a few items to hang in my new home up in Small Town.

(4) and (5) Go an entire 24 hours without phone or internet, on purpose. I accomplished these somewhat against my will when the Boyfriend took me camping for the first time. To be honest, it was the most miserable weekend of my life, but only because I was sleeping on the ground, not because I was without cell phone or internet.

(6) Put change in someone's expired meter. I did this at the mall on one of my last few days in Big City, since meters are a rare thing in Small Town.

(7) WIN NANOWRIMO! I can't believe I hadn't updated this one. Man that was a good day!

In Progress:

(1) Successfully plant and grow a vegetable or herb. Unfortunately this has been somewhat thwarted by a giant flash flood/thunderstorm that BLEW 90% my seedlings away. I will probably post about that once I get over the pain.

(2) Do the 365 project. I started lacking focus. I think I might need to come up with a theme to keep going.

Do you have a Day ZERO Project list? How is it going?

PS. Some exciting things will be happening around the blog this week, including a giveaway and a new link up party I'll be hosting. If you're here from the A-to-Z Challenge (or just here) I hope you stick around!

  2. wow Brittany, you know I always have a 'on going list' it seems to NEVER end, but have't put it into the 101 things that need to be done way. This is a great idea. And to be at the end of this journey, must feel quite accomplished!

  5. http://stephanieorefice.net/?page_id=2122 that's my list!
    i'm going to start the 365 on my birthday - may 30th. i've tried before, i tried earlier this year but i got so overwhelmed because for a month or so i was only turning on my computer once a week. so i am trying again, for the.. id unno... FOURTH time in my life!!

    i agree with the fat mum slim thing. i did one of her things for february, but i want to do the 365 with my camera and not just my phone, and i tend to only do hers on instagram.

  6. What a great blog. Can't believe it took me until after the challenge had finished to find it.
