Do one tiny act of songwriting every day for 100 days in a row.
The smaller the better. You can always get extra credit by doing more. Lyrics (sung or spoken), instrumentals, and beats are all fair game. Some people upload audio snippets of their work, other people type up lyrics, take a photo, or post a link from Youtube or Soundcloud.

How to Get Started
Step 1. Create your own rule: Try to be realistic, something you can commit to for 100 Days.
The first time I did a 100 day challenge (Spring of 2017) my rule was to either record four bars of instrumental composition, or one lyric line. I liked that at first, but then I found myself spending four hours on four bars of music doing multiple takes and tweaking reverb and compressors—can't sustain that—I have a wife and a three year old. So I changed it to a time limit of 20 minutes a day. Some days I have an hour or two to spend, but normally I get my 20 minutes in, post what I've got, and go to sleep knowing I did my work.
Start out as realistic as you can and make adjustments if what you're doing is not sustainable. A creative habit should be able to fit into anyone's life no matter how busy it is.
Step 2. Share your rule with the group. Learn in front of others. If we all do this we will learn from each other.
Some of the most valuable learning happens in groups where we get to see in live action other peoples process. You never know who you will learn from and who will teach. Show your work!
Step 3. Post your daily work: An audio snippet (mp3, m4a), Youtube link, a photo, or text. If you didn't produce anything tangible, that's okay. If it's ugly and messy that's okay. The less polished the more it gives others permission to do the same. Remember it's about creating a habit, not impressing other musicians.
Use "daily" with a grain of salt. Some people might be doing their work, but simply don't have time to post every day. That's okay! Just try and post recent work—whatever is reasonable for your situation.
Step 4. Encourage others. Positive feedback is welcome. Unsolicited feedback is not welcome.
It is important to separate the creator from the editor. Both are vital parts of songwriting, but they don't mix well.
Please read all the guidelines before posting to the group.
That's it!
Happy songwriting, I'll be doing my own 100 days right a long side you!
