My friend Larry Smith of SMITH Magazine turned me onto a very uplifting project called 10Q, “inspired,” Larry writes, “by the traditional 10 days of reflection between the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It works like this: Login to the 10Q site and answer one question a day in your own secret 10Q space. One year later, your answers will be sent back to you for private reflection. From there, you can decide to keep your answers private or share them with the world. … You don’t have to be Jewish to love 10Q. The project is a great way for anyone to look back at the year that’s past, look ahead at the year to come, and take stock.”

This year, 10Q is partnering with SMITH Mag by adding an 11th question: “In just six words, what will the next year bring to your life or the world overall?”

On the site, you can see how questions have been answered during the previous two years of the project, including by celebrities, such as screenwriter Diablo Cody and Glee actor Jane Lynch.

The project should be of interest to story fans because most of the questions are phrased in a way that they could be answered with stories, whether stories of something that has happened this year, or future stories of what you’d like to see in the next year.

Sample question that could elicit a past story: Describe a significant experience that has happened in the past year. How did it affect you?

Sample question that could elicit a future story: Describe one thing you’d like to achieve by this time next year? Why is this important to you?

Today is Day 3 of the project, so it’s not too late to catch up.
