Day Zero Project

A little while ago I came across a post from  Let's do the penguin on the day zero project. I noticed I liked to read this and that I felt the urge to start this project myself. It sounds fun and so I asked myself: Why not? My therapy will end in 2 months and then I will need something new to keep myself busy and this project just sounds perfect.

Curious what this project is about? The project will last exactly 1001 days and will have 101 goals, you can put the list of goals you want to chase yourself. And you can join here.

My plan is to give an update about my goals every 3 months, maybe this will change on the go. But for now I think this is the best, because I need something to talk about and have something done. Of course I won’t talk about every goal in the updates, just the ones I’ve worked on or finished. Besides the updates I will do some post about individual goals.

1. Buy/make a money box
2. Put € 2, - in the money box every time you finish a goal
