#The100DayProject starts tomorrow 🎉
some final pre-project thoughts on getting started
#The100DayProject starts tomorrow! 🎉
When I interviewed Elle for the podcast, she turned the tables on me to ask what I thought was special about the project. Here’s what I shared:
Consider this your invitation! If you’re just joining us, great – the first year I did the project, I heard about it the night before. Pick a small action you can do daily and starting tomorrow, do it every day for the next 100 days and document and share your process online (like on your Instagram account or preferred social platform, blog, or wherever you feel comfortable).

One of the most common things I hear leading up to the start of the project is last year I stopped on day X or I only did Y days or I didn’t finish. I’m here to tell you it doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t! However many days you did, however far you got – it’s perfect. Not every project needs to be completed. It’s ok if you’ve “failed,” I have too.
You can start and stop as many projects as you like – the important thing is to keep starting.
A few recommendations:
let your friends and family know you’re doing the project & ask for the support you need
put time on your calendar or pick a time of day you’ll do the project each day
see if you can connect it to another daily habit, like exercise, reading, homework, etc.
think about what attitude or feeling you want to bring to your project, write it down, and put it somewhere you’ll see it often
give yourself permission for your project to change if what you had planned doesn’t end up feeling like a fit
And in case you missed it, here’s the live Q&A Elle and I did this week:
As always, I’m so excited to see what you create this year – thank you for being part of it, whether you’re participating this year, still on the fence, or cheering people on 💓
XO,
Lindsay
This will be my first year participating. I’m starting small, so it feels doable. I’m excited to see where it leads me!
I am excited! I am looking forward to starting tomorrow. I decided that I need to step out of my shadows and record a video daily for 100 days on Substack or one of my social media platforms. I need to become more comfortable in front of the camera.
