New Day Zero Project #101in1001

 

day zero project

I love making lists. It’s so satisfying to cross off things that need doing or just things you want to do and never get round to doing. The day zero project is the ultimate list for me. 101 things in 1001 days and the items on my list are there to help me be more creative, learn something new, get jobs done around the house that I keep putting off and to have fun 🙂

I’d tried doing 101 in 1001 a couple of years ago and my time was up last month. I didn’t complete all my 101 things but I enjoyed giving it a go and want to try again because it’s fun.

I’d love to see your lists if you’re already working on a day zero project or if you’d like to start one, head on over to the Day Zero website.
