1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries
I’m not one for making New Year’s resolutions. I think they’re bullshit. This year, true to form, I didn’t make resolutions on New Year’s. But, I have been thinking about change. I also spent the week watching friends start to put their resolutions into action. And, I got to thinking…
I’m really bad at planning, I love new experiences and I want to find out more about what I like and don’t like. Then, I thought about my 10 Guys, 10 Drinks, 10 Weeks project and how much I loved it. I also thought about how I hadn’t quite made it to 100 like Travis Dillinger. And so, my 2011 project was born:
1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries.
Similar to 10 GDWs, I’m going to make each one a blog series, with each project being a trial of ten items. Since there are only 52 weeks in the year and I’m already behind, there will definitely be some overlap, but that’s okay; some projects will be easier than others 
Here’s a sneak peak of a few:
- 10 Dishes. It’s my mini version of the Julie & Julia project
- 10 Beers. This one is going to be a blast
- 10 Cities. I have some travel plans to all the cities I’ve always wanted to go and never been
- 10 Foods. My family is very meat & potatoes. Here’s to expanding my taste buds!
- 10 Hobbies. From yoga to photography to paintball, there’s a lot on my “to try/get back into” list
- 10 Experiences. A new tattoo, a trip to Disneyland, a ski weekend in Tahoe. Only I know
In all honesty, I haven’t quite figured out all ten projects. But, I’m okay with that because I figure as the year passes, I’ll grow, things will change and I’ll naturally add projects to the list. I want to have wiggle room to do that.
Needless to say, I’m excited about the project. I’m not one for plans, but I’m working on change and I think making plans is Step One.
