Update-time!

Been really busy with school, so didn't have time to post earlier. So far I've been doing good on the "eating 2 meals a day-task" and the "get up when the alarm goes" one.
I bought white shoes to customize (have to get the money to buy paint first, so that'll have to wait) and some stuff for my collection-task.
I also got a notebook for the word of the day and the random word, so that's one task completed :)
I also visited Den Haag on wednesday and monday (visit capital cities - ZH done)

Themed pary will be march 21st B-)

Oh, I'll try to update with pictures soon!

DZP has started!!

So, today (actually yesterday, but I was busy, it was my birthday after all ;) ) I have officially started DZP. I will try to update here at least once a day, but don't kill me if I can't keep my promise :P
I will also update my twitter regularly.

Daily tasks will be:

15 Get up when my alarm goes off without hitting snooze on school days --> This is gonna be SOO hard.. I think I will give myself 2 days a month to "fail" this task.

37 Write a random word in a notebook every day - Word of the day will be put underneath every blogpost like this: RW=

39 Save €1,- every day (so 30,- or 31,- monthly)

71 Brush my teeth twice a day (instead of the one time nowadays)

94 Learn a new word everyday - this will be through "Dictionary.com's word of the day". These will be posted here as well. WD=

Weekly/Two-weekly Tasks:

11 Read a random wikipedia article once a week - link will be posted here

21 eat at least 2 proper meals a day 4 times a week - not really daily, so I put it under weekly

31 Call my family at least once every 2 weeks

51 Get a creative or active hobby and do this once a week



That's it for now.

RW= Onion
WD= Vivify

only 2 more days to go! *excited!*

Mission Complete!

Finally, I've managed to think of 101 goals, and right on time! Still 9 more days to go to both my birthday and the starting date of my DZP! I'm so excited!

Getting there!

85 down, 16 to go!! Not all of them are very difficult, but a lot of them are fun :)

Preparations: Compiling the list

So, making a list is more difficult than it seems. I'm stuck at 61 now. The beginning was the hardest, after a few added goals the inspiration kept flowing... until I hit the half way mark. It seems my inspiration is completely gone now. Luckily, I still have more than a month to go and "only" 40 more goals to add to the list.
I don't want my goals to be too easy, but I also don't want them to be too hard. You've gotta stay realistic. And add some fun stuff in there, as well.
I'm sure the inspiration will find me again, in the next 35 days.

Day Zero Project

So, the day zero project. I found out about DZP through a friend of mine (Vera) who is also doing the "project". I used to do something similair myself once, but always quit due to a ginormous lack of self dicipline. That's also a reason why I decided to start this project, AND finish it. It will be a sort of self improvement project.

But what is the DZP, you ask? DZP is basically completing 101 personal goals, tasks and challenges in 1001 days (approximately 2¾ years). These goals can vary from really difficult challenging goals to stuff as simple as make home made ice cream, or visit a museum.
It's basically a mix of stuff you've always wanted to do but never did, stuff that makes you happy, crazy stuff, stuff you want to improve about yourself, and stuff you should do but don't because of a lack of self dicipline, in my case, or just lazyness.

I've decided to start my DZP on my 23rd birthday, Feb. 15 2010. This project will end on Nov. 12 2012.
With me my best friend will also start her DZP. Links of friend are listed on the left.

I will keep record of (almost) all development about my DZP on this blog for as far as possible.

My first post in my fresh, first blog

Well, I guess that in your life there always will be and must be so-called "firsts". A life isn't complete without firsts, it'll be boring. I believe that to keep your life interessting, you'll have to do a lot of new things.
When I feel like i'm being sucked up in this big world, I always try to do something original, something that has never been done, or at least not on that place I am at that particular moment, like making a weird movement or a silly dance, or I try to make up a not existing word, just to stay unique and original in this big mass of people.
I will try my best to keep this blog as up to date as possible, so check back often.

love, Kitt'n
