How is your 100 day project going? I think as of today, the official project page is on day 28, but I am on day 21. Some people prefer to count the 100 days as calendar days (and if you miss a day, that’s fine and you just keep going) and other people like to count them as the days you actually work on the project, which is how I like to do it. Whichever way works for you is fine, since the goal is to finish the challenge.
The project I chose this year was to spend 100 days working on this blog, including making any graphics, newsletters, pinterest pins, etc. So far, I’m really happy with my progress:
Day 1: post to mark the start of this year’s project
Day 2: updated an old post on podcasts for creative people
Day 3: sent out my monthly newsletter, full of fun Galentine’s projects
Day 4: post on crafts made from recycled sweaters
Day 5: added a playlist tab to the blog menu for better organization
Day 6: not a tangible item, but I made a major decision on my etsy shop and the future of the blog. It’s a big exciting change that I can’t wait to share soon.
Day 7: bought supplies related to day 6
Day 8: bought more supplies, and met some really awesome people that helped me with sourcing what I need
Day 9: post with new Valentine’s free printable wall art
Day 10: added holiday DIY & printables tab to blog menu
Day 11: updated the photo/ pins for this old but still super popular post for the DIY felt heart garland
Day 12: new cover photo and pin for the free printables page
Day 13: new post and free printable self love wall art
Day 14: post on checking in on our New Year’s goals for 2021
Day 15: updated an old post on 5 snow day DIY projects that got a lot of traffic recently
Day 16: new post on 10 cozy ways to spend a snow day
Day 17: retired the sourdough starter gift tags from my etsy shop and added them to the blog as a free printable
Day 18: fixed the pin on the DIY embroidered slogan shirt post to zoom in on the embroidery
Day 19: new post on places to find cheap or free craft supplies
Day 20: created a color palette and mood board for the secret project mentioned in day 6
So there you have it. 20 days of progress and I feel like this year is going much better than past years. Last year I ran out of steam, partly because it was during the beginning of the pandemic, and partly because I didn’t have a specific project nailed down. I think it was something like doing anything creative for 100 days. So it wasn’t a total loss, I learned that I need to have a defined project in order to complete the goal. Which sounds silly and pretty obvious when I write it out, but whatever.
I also really like filling in the little circles on the project tracker. It makes me happy every single day.
