52 Rejections:

trying to become the most accomplished failure you know

What is 52 Rejections?

You miss all the chances you don’t take. You also miss a lot of the ones you do. Beginning June 1, 2026 and ending May 31, 2027, I’ll be trying to average one rejection per week. Whenever I get an acceptance, I’ll simply have to find somewhere else to be rejected until I get to 52 rejections. See more here.

I’ll also keep an ongoing record below:

Disclaimer: I didn’t invent this idea, and neither, probably, did Jia Jiang, the guy who popularized it through his Rejection Therapy project. Instead of fretting about how unoriginal my experiment may seem, however, I’m just going for it. I think it will help me and be fun. Perfection is the enemy of glorious failure.
