#the100dayproject | Pad Patter 3.31

I have been tossing the idea for almost a month. I also heard that some people split it and do 4 mini projects of 25 days or 2 projects of 50 days. I haven't touch my paints or sketch pencils in some time and I really want to be back to those, but 100 days seems like such a big commitment.

 

hmm 100 days seems so long, not even sure what I’d do as all my creating is digital but in all honesty probably not something I’ll take up anytime soon between health issues and starting work in 16! days (just part time) plus job applications on the go constantly

 

I'm so glad you brought this up! I always say I will but never do! Mine was always to try and doodle/draw on my iPad for 100 days. That's the one I would love to do but I doubt it will happen. (How's that for being optimistic? At least I'm keeping it real! LOL)

Jan, I love the idea to pick up the big camera each day for 100 days. That is more natural and possibly do-able for me. I also really love @Dalis 's idea to split it up into mini projects .... hmmm my wheels are churning.

I also bought a new clip on lens for my iPhone (that @ArmyGrl recommended) so I'd love to spend some time trying that one out. And then there's my TN's that have been neglected lately. Work has sucked the creative life out of me - but I'm starting to finally get used to the routine a bit more, so maybe this is do-able?!

4 mini projects of 25 days:

• iPad drawing
• DSLR photo a day
• TN pages
• iPhone w/new lens

 

I saw your IG post and have really been wanting to do a better job of taking photos so I am committing to take a photo a day for 100 days (I am actually hoping this will prompt me to continue for rest of the year).

I would like to use my big dslr but I know I won't so I will be happy with my phone photos. Honestly most days it will probably by my little doggie buddy but I am OK with that.

 

I hope they do too but my dr has warned me we may never fully figure it out because my main symptom fits into quite a few different things. We are still at the point of ruling things out that “might” cause fatigue - so far we’ve tested 12-13 things at the lab, I’ve had an eye test, i’ve been referred for a sleep study which will happen in the next 4 months.

 

I could probably commit to taking 1 photo a day for 100 days.
I usually don't stick to things that long/open ended though.
Let's try?

 

Oh, this sounds like an amazing idea! I've hardly scrapped (or knitted or sewn or cooked) at all within the past couple of months, having to deal with an on-going community issue (NEVER live behind an elementary school!!), cleaning out my hard drive so my computer will function better, and being sick has taken it's toll on my creativity. This would be a great way to get the creative juices flowing again. I've a list of Quilting UFO 's (unfinished objects!) to get done, a sweater dress to finish knitting, prayer journals to start and use, a garden to get up and running, books to read, along with so many other things that it would be a good way to start working away at these fun things. And you're correct, you can accomplish a lot of things in just a few minutes a day!

Maybe we could have a forum here where people could post what they're doing?

 

Congrats on the part time job!!!

 

I know she says you need to be very specific, but I feel if I am too specific then I might never do it. I would love to sketch/paint, but I doubt I will be happy with something I can create in 5-15 mins, so I was thinking of something way broader like "create something". <===== I know... I know.... a bit broad. LOL!!!!!!

 

I don't know if this is helpful, but for me, I notice that when my DSLR is out and accessible, I'm more likely to pick it up. So, since I spend a lot of time downstairs, it rotates between my kitchen counter and desk. They are about 15 steps apart. There's times I"ll grab my phone and look over and see my DSLR and go grab it instead because it's accessible.
