#day zero project

Inspired by @lapetitevampire​‘s post about this challenge!

I really like this concept--basically, the idea is to create a list of 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days (2.75 years).

Bucket lists have always put me off. I look at them and am instantly thrown into dread about how many things I won’t do before I literally die. That shit’s too scary for me to reckon with.

This is way more approachable, and I think it encourages you not to put things off forever. I really enjoyed just the exercise of making a list and thinking about all the things I’d like to have done in the next couple of years.

My list is under the cut. It ended up being a lot of non productivity-related items, which honestly feels great. I’m glad to be focusing on what I want to do.

"I did worse this week than I have done in a while. I think it's because, even though I am getting better from the stomach flu, it's still pretty bad. Like I am still dealing with it and I can't even intake half of my usual formula each day. I'm pretty slow to recover from things and..."

Now on the blog: Day Zero Project: Chipping away at goals #DayZero #DayZeroProject #Goals #Organizingemail

I’m slowly trying to chip away at some of my Day Zero goals. I’m finding it’s not too easy as I have a lot of different things. 

What I probably have to do is commit to one or two things at a time, and see if I can just get through a few things at a time, rather than just peeking in sometimes and seeing what I may have already accomplished. 

It’s time to tackle two significant items.

New blog post: Day Zero Project: Round 3 #DayZeroProject #DayZero @DayZero

It’s time to give this a go again.

For those who have known me for a bit through this blogging world, you may recall my attempts at doing the Day Zero Project. I’ve attempted it twice before, but not since ending the last one in 2017.

If you don’t know what the Day Zero Project is — simply put, it’s accomplishing 101 goals in 1,001 days.

My first attempt went from October 10, 2010-July 8, 2013.…

DONE

My brother and his friends and started going to a pub quiz, not every week, but regularly enough. 

I asked him one week if I could hijack them and tag along and they were nice enough to let me in.

It was great fun. I might have got the first question wrong but I’d like to think I proved my worth throughout the night. I got a fair few questions right, some of them they wouldn’t have known so it was nice to feel part of something.

DONE

I don’t really know why I wanted to do this. I suppose there’s an element of freedom by going on your own, you can react to the film however you want without being conscious of who you’re with.

Anyway, I went to see Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. I’d been meaning to for a while and considering it had been for a good few weeks I was prepared to be the only one in the screen. However, I was pleasantly surprised as I would hazard a guess and say there were probably about 30 people.

I loved the film. I think if I were pushed, I would still say i prefer the first film, but it’s truly impossible to hate a film with a cast like that and an abundance of ABBA songs.

I also liked the fact that I heard ABBA songs I hadn’t before (I had this with the first film as well). They’re so well known for their ‘obvious’ songs (for want of a better way of phrasing it), that it’s nice to see - and hear - a mixture of the well-known and not so well-known.

DONE

We went to Italy, obviously well known for its ice cream, and so couldn’t leave without trying some there.

I chose melon. I think I’ve had melon sorbet before but not ice cream. It was really nice, though difficult to eat when it’s over 30 degrees.
