100 days project(s)

I decided to start 100 days project. Actually two of them at the same time. Yeah I know – maybe I should consider numerous previous attempts to do even one 100-day-project and how hard it was to “fit into” daily life. Before committing to two at the same time.

But I would rather fail while trying than not try at all (approach I’ve been taking for the past 5-8 years).

So. On 3/1 I’ve started 2 things:

  1. 100 days of EDC mini drawing. Painting small things, items, objects that represent El Dorado County (CA) for me.
  2. 100 day of blogging. Writing and publishing here (or maybe social media).

Why?

  • drawing idea has been bugging me for more than a year. I want to give this idea my attention, so I can complete it and a) move on – and clear space for some other new exciting idea after completion; b) to observe if I still enjoy drawing and painting, or my “I miss making art” was only theoretical and all in my head.
    + Community #100DaysProject started on February 22, I was too late to notice official start date, so I am setting my own timeframe.
  • blogging – it’s also been type of idea that was nugging me for years since I’ve stopped blogging in 2012-2013. But also I want to see how my words look like online and not just in my journal.
    + I am scared realizing that my “public” writing has been only official-corporate-soulless-professional work emails. Just dry facts and lists. No emotions. And I am not sure if I am even capable of writing with more expression, or I am just a “manuals” and SOP scribe.
    so I want to practice and find out.

Today is day 3. Let’s see what will happen by June 9.
