Power of the Personal Project
Description
A personal project is about setting up a stimulation of your life through a program to find your roadblocks or stumbling blocks and working a plan to find your way around them, over them, or under them.
It is a step-by-step process to find inspiration for your project, plan the project, execute the project, then show off your project all while learning new skills, habits, and having fun.
A project can be anything that interests you. Some thoughts are as follows:
- The crazy idea project;
- Is there that thing you have always wanted to but everyone tells you that you are crazy? you are not and it is time to do it;
- The curiosity project;
- Is there something you have had an interest in but haven’t taken the time to explore it? Now is the time;
- The getting inspired project;
- Are you stuck or uninterested in being creative? Let’s find that thing that will get you motivated again;
- The learning something new project; and
- Been wanting to learn something new? Now is the time to learn it.
