At the Edge of Spring

Planning a 100 Days Project

The slimmest of posts today to ask if you’re planning a 100 Days Project…and to let you know what I’ve got planned as we stand at the edge of the season.

I am going to create 100 zettels—note + quotes on index cards to become the foundation of a zettelkasten. This is the sort of thing that could expand to fill all available space. But I am keeping things simple and approachable.

• Simple supplies—I’ve got a stack of index cards on my desk ready to fill.

• Clear definition—the cards are small, so I have to be selective. They are also easy to count, so I can track my progress.

• Part of a larger project—creating a collection of quotes is a long term project of attention + the building of a habit. I am excited to use the 100 Days to jumpstart this work.

• Not complicating things—I could wait till I had my organizing system refined or my tags settled. But I am moving forward with the work, confident that those things will be easier to do once I actually have a stack of cards to organize.

I’ve got more to say about the zettelkasten, but I wanted to connect with others who might have a project in the works…or who might need a nudge to hop on board!

Roben Marie’s tracker and encouragement are worth a look!
