New Challanges - now I'm Home

[bluelighth]

Hey All!
How are you doing?

As you may or may not know, I had a challenge for my trip in the US and UK, after the workshop, and I recently reached home. I've now decided that, starting tomorrow, I have a few more challenges coming on, for the next 30 days, some of which I intend to report here as accountability:
1) Practice both guitar and singing, every day
2) Work on my new website, and create at least one article a day for it(Its not blog-style, its actually an info-site, and the hosting still isn't ready)
3) Write at least one song(or at least either a lyric or a fully structured melody & harmony for one, preferably with some arrangement) a day
4) When I leave the house for anything but driving lessons, talk to at least one new person before I get back home
5) Start, and finish, taking driving lessons, and get a drivers license

I have a feeling thats quite enough for 30 days....

Have a great time!!! Thanks for the support!

P.S - I'll update here every day, on everything but number 5, number 5 I'll mention only general checkpoints(taking theory test, first driving lesson, internal test, last lesson pre-test, the test and the results - more or less)

Day 1:
1) done.
2) done - I will post it when my webhost approves my order, and I start putting it online.
3) I have a fully structured melody+harmony I like, but the lyrics I wrote aren't good, in my opinion. I'll re-work them tomorrow, in addition to something new.
4) I didn't leave the house yet....
5) I did study theory, so

Seems like I took abit too much on myself at once... I was totally unable to consistantly do anything except #1....

Allow yourself to do one thing a day but consistently and then celebrate your success after a couple of weeks of doing it every single day. This will work 2 ways for you:

1. that one thing will soon become less of a conscious action and more of a habit so you will keep doing it automatically
2. it will give you subconscious validation and belief that you can in fact stick to your promises and keep up your daily actions as opposed to missing some of the items on your list and having that dis empower you

After a few weeks introduce the second thing from your list to do daily and rinse repeat.

This might seem like a longer way to do things time wise but it is all about sustainability in the long term and more importantly, actual results. If the bold approach of committing to 5 daily actions did not produce the results you wanted, try this approach.

I'll try doing something along those lines - thanks!
