I’m not sure what it is about big round numbers, but they are kinda captivating. Like this little bit of inspiration – what could you do with 100 days? I mean – come on – just think of all the things you could do with that time! And keep in mind that in about 100 days we will be looking at the end of summer (of course, it may still be beastly hot). Of course, we’ll have also put away all the fun of summer, but still – before you need to pull out a sweater, what could you do with 100 days?

You could convince yourself that the year’s half over. so you might as well coast.

Or you could dig out your goals for the year, take their measure, and decide the year is wash and maybe next year you’ll start over.

Or you could dig out your goals for the year, take their measure, and decide that you crushed that and you can cruise until January.

Or you could see that opportunity of having all that time remaining to do more cool stuff.  For you. To make even more progress. How great is that?!

So what could you do in 100 days?  How about:

1 Commit to learning one new thing each day (doesn’t have to be music, but that’s probably a sure bet!).

2 Commit to practicing every day.  Actually practicing.  It doesn’t have to be a full blown, formal practice, it could just be for fun.

3 Commit to paying a compliment each day – to yourself. Out loud. And mean it.

4 Commit to identifying what you’d like to do in the following 100 days after this.

5 Consider making an “activity board” so you don’t get stuck in a rut and leverage your creativity!

6 Think about what you would do (differently?) if it was the beginning of the year rather than most of the way through it).

You can focus on music (after all, why are you here?) or you could take an even broader view and approach to enjoying the remainder of the year.

Which of these will you do? What did I forget to include? Let me know in the comments!
