Project: The first step is the hardest, so start small today and make something that fits in the palm of your hand using only the materials in your immediate environment.
I looked around - scrap paper on the floor, how about I craft a tree out of it? I totally have wire. So I started. I limited myself to materials in my apartment - hey, it's less than 1,000 square feet, that's immediate enough of an environment for me.

I feel pretty good about how quickly I thought about this idea, gathered supplies, and executed the first day's challenge. It probably took about 20 minutes total to complete, save for the dry-time for the paint.
