My Newest Project.

I had heard about this program a ways back and always found it a little fascinating.  I have spent more hours than I can count trolling the Day Zero Project website and have watched it grow and evolve. I like the idea of a bucket list but I don't like the idea of waiting for it too be to late to do any of it. I had actually tried to put a list together a few other times and came face to face with how hard it is not only to come up with 101 things that you want to do but also make sure those things will still be important and relevant in 1001 days. 

The first list I came up with was really silly, it had all kinds of crazy things on it like visit all 7 continents, drive K.I.T., jump out of a plane and use dynamite once in my life.  Pretty sure on the day I wrote that list I had just finished watching a James Bond marathon or something!  I decided to take a slightly more practical approach to this one this time around.  I did my best to pick 10 areas where I wanted to see change, I ended up with 11 but it works for me.

I pretty much focused on taking care of myself, bettering myself, taking care of my money, getting myself out of my comfort zone a little (jumping out of a plane stayed on the list), focusing on my health both mentally and physically, traveling plans, growing my creative side, having fun, education goals and a few other odds and ends. Some of my groupings overlap but only because some of my goals impact more than one aspect of my life. 

I won’t officially be starting this quest until April 1 (which is coincidentally my 1 year blogaversary!) but I have started to think about my approach to some of these most specifically the journal I would like to keep.  I am thinking it will be more like a scrapbook than a journal because some of my goals will definitely need souvenirs and pictures!

I didn't want to have to constantly post my updates so I started a whole new spot just for my list (you will be able to see it on April 1st), I also do not have it listed on the Day Zero website as I am trying to keep it simple. I made sure to list a few goals on there that I know I will not complete, not because I want to fail but because I want to have something I know I can start my next 1001 days with.

I'm wondering what your bucket list looks like and what you think about starting it sooner rather than later...

Thanks for stopping in!
