#last100daysof 2024
A Refocusing Project for the End of the Year
I am the queen of self-inflicted challenges. I love a good challenge: 30 days or 100 days. It is a key part of my personal productivity plan.
For the last several years I have self-inflicted a #last100days of the year project.
100 days has many significant places in my life. When I taught lower elementary, we celebrated 100 days of school. I had all types of 100 activities planned for that day. I celebrated the first 100 days of marriage with my husband too! It used to be my son’s favorite number.
It is a nice round number I am drawn to. You can do something with it. It is important.
What will you do for the last 100 days of 2024?
As of today, there are 114 days left in 2024. (See? Planning time!)
For the last 100 days, I invite you to try on my practice. I will share a question and a photo of one item. (This is the plan today but I may change it!)
I encourage you to begin a new process, ritual, list, photo essay, etc. Whatever lights you up.
Or you can just write into my question or object.
I would love to hear about your plans in the comments!
I have found over the years that constraints make me more creative. There is lots of research that backs this up which I will not link here (but I am tempted).
My past 100-day projects have included writing and sharing daily writing prompts, writing daily poems, writing one random sentence that turned into a story after the challenge was over, and the 100 rejections that morphed into 100 submissions. The 100 submissions project yielded a collection I published.
Have you ever done a 100-day project? I would love to hear about it in the comments!
Ooooh this might be just what I needed. I’ve been planning on creating a book of journal prompts for my subscribers. Maybe I’ll create one every day and in January I can turn it into an ebook or workbook. That’s what has come to mind now, let’s see if I think of anything else in the next 13 days.
Thank you!!!! 👏👏👏
I cannot add enough exclamation points to express my excitement and gratitude. ☺️🙏
Last year in the middle of a major change in my life, your #last100days helped me write every single day except one. I highly recommend this challenge to anyone that is looking to create a practice or looking to create a stack of work from which to work with in the future (which is what last year yielded for me).
