A hundred days of writing your own days
You write the plan each morning, one day long
how it runs
- 01 Three tasks, specific enough to be finished Not study anatomy. Twenty minutes of hand studies from photographs. The specificity is the whole trick, and it takes two minutes to write.
- 02 One report at night Done, partly done, not done. A hundred of these turn a vague intention into a record you can read back.
- 03 Other people in the same unsupervised position Nobody here has a teacher either. Reading how others sized their day is the closest thing to a syllabus, and it comes from people like you.
the shape of it
A hundred days of writing your own days
Tasks come out too big and too vague. Ten days is roughly how long it takes to write three you can genuinely finish.

The tasks start repeating, which is how a direction appears. Most people first notice what they are actually working on around here.
A hundred short plans and a hundred reports. The log shows what you chose to practise, without anyone having assigned it.

The free version gives prompts; the paid ones give lessons
- —
- The 100 Day Project sends creative prompts by email and shares a hashtag. It sets no daily tasks, collects no reports and assigns nobody to notice you. source
- —
- An account of repeated failed attempts at the project names parameters that were too vague as one of the reasons the runs collapsed. source
Linked sources only. Where a number would be useful but unverified, we leave it out.
Three tasks each morning. One report each night. A hundred days of art.

Questions about the structure
Do you give prompts or assignments?
No. You write your own three tasks each morning. We hold the format, the reporting and the group, and nothing else.
I have no idea what to work on. Does that break it?
Plenty of people begin that way and let the first fortnight decide. The tasks are written one day at a time, so a long-term plan is not required.
How specific should a task be?
Specific enough that at night you can answer done or not done with one word. That is the only test we apply.
Is there a teacher in the group?
No. Nobody is there to instruct or review. The group reads reports and that is its role.
What does it cost?
Pricing is set when the next group opens. Nothing is charged on this page.
A hundred days you plan one morning at a time
Leave an email and we write when the group opens. No payment is taken here.
- Three tasks you write yourself, answerable in one word at night
- A report that turns intention into a record
- A hundred days among people with no teacher either
One email when the next start date is fixed.
