About The Project
Day Zero is a community for people who love creating lists, setting challenges, and making positive changes in their lives.We believe that by making goal setting fun and competitive you can make real progress on achieving your ambitions. Open-ended goal setting (like bucket lists) don't work. It's only when you assign a time constraint that your focus and determination kicks in.
As well as the original 101 things in 1001 days challenge we now offer a range of other time based challenges. Try the one-year, weekly challenge of 52 Things in 52 Weeks , or for the twenty-somethings the popular 30 Things by 30. You can even define your own challenge. Why not set a list of things to do over summer, or a list of things to before graduating? Be creative!
Start Your List Now!
Day Zero Project has been created, built, and maintained by New Zealander, Michael Green. Initially, the website served as a link repository for people's101 Things lists but in 2010, due to high demand, it evolved into a real social network where participants could post their lists, share their goals, and follow other memebers.

The 101 Things in 1001 Days Challenge
Day Zero started out with the catchy challenge of completing 101 things in 1001 days. This has been enormously popular with tens of thousands of people getting involved and sharing their lists. We now offer many more types of challenges, but here are the original guidelines for the challenge: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).
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a 'Bucket List'. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
