PROJECT MEANINGFUL

A PUBLIC EXPERIMENT IN INTENTIONAL LIVING

Do something deliberately because it matters to you.

Record what you did. Notice what happens. See what other people discover when they make the same deliberate choice to act on what matters.

THE QUESTION BEHIND THE EXPERIMENT

Are you living according to what you say matters?

We say many things matter. Our choices reveal where we actually give our time, attention, and effort.

Help us reach 1,000 deliberately chosen meaningful actions.
