This year, I'm challenging myself to make 100 things. But I didn't want to do it by myself. I'm looking for people to join me in making 2016 our most creative year ever. You don't need to make 100 things (that's my goal); the point is to challenge yourself to spend less time consuming and more time creating. I've made a bunch of daily challenges, worksheets, and checklists to get you started (just click the link to sign-up).
Sarthak Grover
W00t! I'm also in. Hope to finally make things happen! I I had once done a 365 day picture-of-the-day project and it worked wonders, even if I can build 1 thing I'd be happy!
Justin Jackson
@sarthakgrover that's the idea!
Wilbert Liu
I'm in! It's the spirit that we have to keep until the end of 2016. Let's make awesome things together! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ˜‰
Corey Stone
I'm in! (Can never get enough Justin products LOL). I have a long list of things I'd like to make, so prioritizing and focusing is always tough for me, and I'm betting he has ideas to help with that.
Justin Jackson
@coreywstone I do. ;) First step: start with something small and achievable (something that takes 1 week or less).
Stuart
I'm in. Going to try to launch two projects this quarter, http://igniteyourmatch.com (feedback on your online dating profile!) and http://userinput.io (feedback on your website, app, idea, or customer discovery!). Thanks for creating this @mijustin, hope you don't go crazy trying to create a project every 3.5 days ;)
Justin Jackson
@vacord sweet!

Awesome project, @mijustin! Already signed up for it! MegaMaker is very aligned with a project that I'm looking to develop (currently looking for a designer/ front-end, anyone? =p): "Sidz". It basically would enable people that want to learn a new language/ framework/ whatever to find complementary people that want to learn any other thing so that together they can build something while they are studying and learning different things. Example: I'm a developer who wants to learn Sinatra and my friend is a designer/ front-end who wants to learn ember.js. We could make a small application together to practice what we are learning. Making it more fun and with some peer pressure ;D
Vanessa Colina
This is great! I started making my own list and @mijustin took and look at it and helped figured out the next steps. I love this challenge!
Danny Halarewich
Love the spirit of this @mijustin! Totally in. I intended on getting back to making more this year, so this is perfect.
David Wippel
how about a trello board to share ideas and help each other?
Greg Gilbert
Awesome! Love the idea @mijustin :)
Justin Jackson
@gregoiregilbert looks like 314 people have signed up so far! Can't wait to see what everyone creates. ๐Ÿ‘
Daniel Kempe
This sounds like fun!! ๐Ÿ˜€
Justin Jackson
@danielkempe it will be! ๐ŸŽ‰
Julian Renard
Gorgeous idea :-) It will be cool to make a platform for show all things mades :-)
Justin Jackson
@julian_renard yup, already working on it. ๐Ÿ˜‰
Chris Scott
No brainer. I'm in.
Victor Ramires
I'm in! This is the kind of initiative that gets me really energized. I've decided to make a list of small things---cause I already have a number of big projects for this year. Today I published the list on a public doc: https://docs.google.com/document... (it's in Brazilian Portuguese) and a few people already contributed with suggestions. I'm also following your live feed. I'm thinking about doing something like that for my subscribers. Maybe also calling them to join me. :)
Vinish Garg
Excellent idea. Something on the lines of *Smart Product Lab Challenges*. I am IN btw.
Steve P. Young
Let's do this @mijustin! Maybe you should add 100 Things That Make $100.
Irina Klyuev
Great idea, I am in, together, it is better to explore and make ideas a reality :)
David Wippel
I'm in! 100 is tough :)
Justin Jackson
@kelkes you don't need to make 100 (that's just my number). Challenge yourself to consume less this year and make more!
Aline Mรผller
For those who sort of screw up 2016s challenge (like me), time to start a new one!
