With the stay at home order and bad weather, I've realized that I've been filling my "trapped at home" time with more screen time. So, after 8 hours of work, staring at something 2ft away, I move to the couch and stare at something else 2ft away. I need to break the cycle but with crummy weather, it has been hard to.
However, last night I saw a little video where a man who was inspired by his 1-mile long block to run a marathon and complete a list full of tasks in 24 hours. It is great and only about 30 mins, see below.
Now, I'm not inspired enough to run a marathon or stay up for 24 hours straight but I am inspired to use his idea to break my screentime slump.
Would you like to join me?
If so, text or email me.
Here are the parameters I plan to use for my challenge.
(You are welcome to add your own twist)
I will have all of Sunday, (date coming soon) to complete 50 tasks.
I will spend Saturday walking from room to room in my house, creating my list of 50 things. This way I can make sure I really find all those little things I've been meaning to do. Also, this will give me time to pick or prepare anything I need for Sunday. (Like buying potting soil)
I can wake start whenever on Sunday but I only have until midnight to finish so I will likely get up early.
How we can work as a team to stay inspired
Kickoff Call: On Saturday (mid-day) we check in to share our to-do lists. This way we can steal ideas from each other and also make sure we are on track for success.
Challenge Day Check-ins: We agree to text each other with little victories we've had several times during the day. (ie. "Feeling good, I just crossed 4 big things off this hour!")
Success Party: We join a virtual call to celebrate what we accomplished.
I can imagine it now...
With only 24 hours, I will feel like I have to race to get everything done. This, for me, will be the key to my success. Doing chores is boring and often results in me saying to myself, "Why don't I take a quick break and Google XX right now." Then, I'm quickly derailed. But, if I have to charge through a to-do list, I think I'll stay on track. (Or, at least, I hope I will.)
