Something you may or may not know about me: I'm a list maker. I love lists. They make me happy, they make me feel organized, and I think they're fun to make. Whenever there is a list to be made at work, I am the first to volunteer. People think I'm strange for it, but there you go. That's me. I love me my lists.
So, naturally, when Alishka blogged about the Day Zero project, I thought: "Awesome! A really long list! This sounds fun!" It took me a while to come up with 101 goals, but I did it (with some help and suggestions from a variety of different sources (thanks, Sources)), and now, I blog it.
