How to design a 365 day project
From the trenches: I’m on day 300 of 365 days of learning how to draw
Eleven months ago, I did a retrospective of my first 66 days of learning how to draw. I am now on 300—baffled at how far I’ve come, slightly impressed that I am still doing it, and curious to see what day 365 will bring.
Along the way, I learned some things about undertaking a 365 day project that I thought I would share. These are the rules and parameters that have helped me to stay consistent, accountable, and committed to an endeavor that—unsurprisingly ;)—seemed much shorter before I started.

It should be discrete enough to not make you want to kill yourself, but substantial enough to ensure that you progress. Mine was to make one full drawing a day.
