Option 1: Join the global start date

Every year, the official 100-Day Project usually kicks off in February. If you’d like to join the global community, subscribe to the newsletter to stay updated on the exact 2026 start date. Once it’s announced, schedule time for your project prep so you’re ready to hit the ground running.
