It is any project (no matter how small or large) either for leisure or work, that means something personal to you. It could be achieving personal life goals, getting stuff done, starting new hobbies and generally giving new things a 'whirl'. This is what Whirly Projects is all about.

Completing a Whirly Project is its own reward. I write a short piece about each project and post them on the Whirly Stories pages. Awarding yourself the Whirly badges adds a bit of fun! I display my badges on the Badge Walls page. I also add them to my Pinterest page to share with family and friends.

I also created a little brother site called 'Whirly Projects - Too' where I log the job roles I have had over the years and write a short piece about them. I guess you could call them my 'employment-based' whirly projects! As with the more leisure-based projects on this site, at work, when my positive spirit started to be impacted in some way, I would look to try a new role or try somewhere new. I would think, I could do that job, why not give it a whirl!
