psst — your bucket list has a design flaw
An action list, not a bucket list.
Today is Day Zero. Not tomorrow. Not after the move. Not when things quiet down. (They won't.) Write the first thing on your list right now.

The Day Zero Project is the world's biggest goal-setting website. A home for people who want to write down what matters, give it a deadline, and actually start.
It is not a bucket list for vague wishes and far-off maybes. It is a place to create specific, time-bound goals you can track, share, and finish.
Choose a challenge, write goals that matter, then track the progress as real life happens.
Start classic with 101 in 1001, choose a shorter challenge, or make your own.
Add specific goals you can finish, revisit, and share when you want to.
Track completions, habits, notes, photos, and the wins that happen along the way.
Long enough to learn a language, run a marathon, move cities, write the book. Short enough that you can taste the finish line from here.
That's the date your 101-in-1001 challenge would wrap if you started today.
"Future you is already grateful. Don't make them wait."
— see you thereStart with the timeframe that fits your life, turn it into a list, and take the first step. Choose the challenge, map the goals, get moving.
This is the challenge that started it all. ~2.75 years gives you several seasons to plan trips, study, train, and build — without the “new year, new me” pressure.
One tiny win a week. The sneaky-good habit builder.
For the twenty-somethings. Big life, before the big birthday.
A summer of firsts, a sabbatical bucket, 100 days before graduating — pick a window and go.
Every productivity expert agrees on one thing almost nobody does: write your goals down. Day Zero gives them a home, a deadline, and a crew of people who actually want you to win.
