I had read about the project 365 several years ago but never considered committing to it. I say committing because this is something you think about almost on a constant bases. You ask yourself, what will the theme be today, or have I got the image for today at 10:00 pm at night? You plan to have your camera(s) available all the time. Your subconsciousness is beginning to help out as you go through your days activities. The anticipation helps you think and plan your next image. It helps you to be more observant, your always looking for an image.
I saw an old shack while driving around Saturday. I drove by it and got home and realized I should make this an image in my project. I left late in the afternoon Saturday, I left around 4:30 and had to drive about 40 minuets one way to be exact and hope that I would get there before it got dark. I made it and enjoyed the adventure and getting away from the computer for a while.
I encourage you to try it even if it is for 30 days or the rest of the year. It will help you mentally and technically.
