People tend to go through life by trying to achieving goals that they may have set out, but sometimes this is harder than they originally thought. Anything that makes achieving a goal easier is a good thing by me, and 101 in 1001 from the day zero project is just that.
I recently joined the day zero project as I felt that there were things in my life that I would like to do and felt that I was missing out by not doing them sooner than later. So in order to motivate me I joined the day zero project and set up some goals for myself.
The site suggests setting 101 goals in the 1001 days. I intend to set 101, but at the moment as a starter I have only added 10, these 10 are:
1. Donate blood.
Always wanted to donate blood. So here is my chance. Someone somewhere might need me someday and I wouldn’t even know it.
2. Random acts of kindness.
Bring a bit of happiness and joy into someone elses life when they are down.
3. Get fit.
Same goal for a lot of people. Loose weight, tone up, live a better, healthier life. Adopt a healthier diet and treat my body with the care and respect it deserves.
4. Bake bread.
Yes, I know, gay!! I have to learn to bake something!!
5. Bake an apple pie.
The way I look at it, if the bread goes well, it’s time to up my game.
6. Identify 100 things that make me happy.
100 things that make me happy may sound like a lot but it’s only 1 thing every 10 days throughout the challenge. Happiness is very important in life. Identifing things that make you happier are important.
7. Loans.
Straight forward one here. Clear all my loans and debt in the 1001 days. I don’t see this being a problem, as long as I don’t borrow anymore money or do any unesscary shopping.
8. Become vegatarian for a week.
I have tried this before in the past and with great results, but at the time I allowed myself to eat meat two days during it. This time I want to do it for the whole week, and maybe longer.
9. Learn a computer language and be able to confidently code with it.
I have always been interested in computer programming languages and have a small knowledge of a few different languages, but not a complete understanding of one full language so that I could code with it without any issues. It’s time to sort this.
10. Learn and speak a new language.
I have always wanted to speak a new language, so this was an obvious one to add to the list. I have recently started learning Spanish in college so this will go along way with achieving this goal.
So there are the intital 10. Will be adding more as I decide which I want to add to them. I will also give updates on my progress through them. If you want to vsit my profile page on the day zero project click here or the link on the side bar to the right.
“So when is the big day Mike?” you might ask. July 26, 2013. The countdown has begun.
