Hello! My name is Katelyn and the main purpose of this blog is to follow my progress through the Day Zero Project. The goal is to complete 101 goals within 1001 days. The tasks must be specific and clear; no "read more" vagueness . You use goals like "read 10 nonfiction books" and "read 5 biographies". 1001 days is about 2.75 years. This gives you time to plan and arrange things around seasons. I plan on trying to write regularly but as I said before the main purpose is to write about the goals in process and the ones I finish. I've never kept a blog before so maybe this will be what I need to continue with one and do a lot of things I want to accomplish! So here it goes.....my 101 in 1001 goal list:
Schwew! That is some list. Better get started!
