23 down, only 78 more to go.

I’ve talked before about the Day Zero Project, a free website where you can set up a list of 101 things you want to do over the next 1,001 days. (You can find my list here.) I’ve been working on my list over the past couple of months, and so far I’ve crossed 23 things off my list:

1. Get my sewing machine fixed and make something — a drawstring bag, a full size apron, and a t-shirt recon skirt
2. Go camping
3. Go on a road trip
4. Visit the zoo
5. No fast food for 1 month — going on 2 months now
6. Buy a lottery ticket — obviously I didn’t win
7. Avoid Starbucks for 1 week
8. Try a food I’ve never eaten before – fresh cherries at a Farmer’s Market
9. Answer all 50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind — while mildly amusing to fill out, these questions didn’t actually do any mind-freeing
10. Throw a birthday party for myself
11. Write a list of 100 Things That Make Me Happy
12. Inspire someone to make a Day Zero list
13. Do a cartwheel
14. Convert to vegetarianism — best decision I’ve ever made
15. Say yes to something I would normally say no to
16. Pay for the person behind me in line
17. Learn to make 1 really great meal from scratch
18. Purposely leave my phone turned off for 24 hours
19. Knit a pair of socks for a loved one
20. Knit something to donate
21. Buy something from LimeCrime
22. Bake cupcakes for no reason
23. Experience a laser light show — Nirvana at OMSI

With 935 days left to complete the remaining 78 tasks including drinking nothing but water for 4 weeks, sending a secret to PostSecret, and getting my palm read my a psychic, I’m happily optimistic about my shrinking to-do list.

Anyone else have your own Day Zero list? If so, I’d love to check it out!
