So, what is this Day Zero Project? Here is the rundown:
The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).
We are working up a list and could use some help! Suggestions would be helpful! Please suggest something, anything.
This is what we've come up with so far:
