Back on August 8, 2008 I started doing the
DayZero project.
It has forever changed how I feel about "challenges" and New Year's resolutions. I love that I am given a real amount of time to DO things, accomplish things and learn things. 2.5 years to do 101 challenges...now not all of mine are challenges - some are just things I haven't done and have been putting off and others are challenges....so here we go...this starting in May thing will make for a new years one for January 1, 2014. So that's fun!
Start Date: May 1, 2011
End Date: December 28, 2013
