I started this episode with a few words from Matt Culls, who gave a killer TED talk back in March of 2011. He is in some degree (I believe) responsible for the surge of 30-Day challenges that you see all over the Internet and on social media. Matt began challenging himself to TRY something new—but he only had to commit to 30 days and he reports how many of these efforts changed his life.
Now, why projects?
Because, they are …
Projects are inclusive: Anyone can participate in a project. You don’t have to commit long term or possess special talents or training. I especially dig projects are easy in and easy out and leave you feeling confidence and curious for more.
Projects are definable: When you decide to pursue a project you get to DEFINE these parameters for yourself. You can begin and end with something quite specific in mind. You can imagine the outcome before you even start. You can say, I’m only willing to spend X amount of time or X amount of dollars. You can choose to keep it SIMPLE in a number of different ways.
Projects have a purpose: The 3rd reason I love projects is because projects can help me accomplish something particular—for me, projects often serve a specific purpose. I often recognize something I want to accomplish or bring into my life and that desire generally leads me to an idea—that I can then define and execute.
Projects are energizing: There is nothing quite like the energy inherent in FINISHING something. When people ask me about organizing photos or creating a scrapbook for a loved one or documenting their own life, I ALWAYS suggest starting with a small project-based approach. Do something small first—why? Because then you will energize yourself moving forward.
Projects are FUN to teach and share: For ALL of the reasons I have already shared, I love to teach others how to craft (specifically) memory and story-based projects. I don’t expect everyone to love what I do as much as I love it, but I can give them a taste of it and that brings me so much JOY. I would LOVE to introduce you to my favorite kind of projects—those that use photos and tell stories.
Why not JOIN me in 2020 and let me help you plan, prepare, start and FINISH 20 unique-to-you projects that will help you tell some personal stories. Of course this class is a bit longer than 30 days, but …
You’re officially invited and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
If you’re not totally thrilled after 30 Days of class, I will refund your money. No questions asked!
