So I first learned about the Day Zero project through a blog I follow daily. After visiting the website I was instantly inspired to make my own list! I'm going to consider this my MASTER to-do list for the next 1,001 days of my life. I probably would have done most of the things on this list anyway but I believe that more important than just doing them, is doing them purposefully. I believe that an action with a purpose is much more meaningful, even if that purpose is just crossing one thing off the Master List. I will update this blog when I have finished one of the things on the list, and will try and add pictures if possible!
