The List

This is my Day Zero Take Two Finalized list. Unlike the prior attempts, I am not allowing myself to make edits after my start date. I have spent several months deciding what I deemed important enough to include on this list, and I think I have come up with many good ideas of things that are not only feasible, but things I truly want to do. I have broken it up into 12 categories so it will be easier to find the goals within the list. They are in no particular order within these categories, nor are the categories of any real significance, just for classifications. I'm excited to get started and to see how many I can accomplish over the next 1001 days!
