It's a great challenge and also painful but it's like labor pain to get the baby..
I am happy to successfully completed challenge.
I am very happy.
I will not be as intense and aggressive like this but I was sick of my slow progress... needed to take quantum leap to have some breakthrough....

[Peek]

Well, I can understand that. Especially the "I was sick of my slow progress... needed to take quantum leap to have some breakthrough..." part.

Thanks for that,

Peek

Oh, and of course good luck on the photo reading challenge!

I am still continuing this challenge along with my 90 Days Photoreading Challenge

Today is 45th day of this challenge !

[XRV]

For the last few months, I have had three desires building up within me to the point that I can't stop thinking about them. However, I could not manage to continue on with them (memory development, vocal training/singing, bodybuilding). I have always been the 'lazy' type and with college and all, found myself neglecting them altogether.

Can you please explain to me the benefit of the 30 day challenge. Well I have a few ideas, but you seem to be a success at it. So surely you could give me a few pointers into starting AND finishing my own one.

It's divide and conquer strategy:
divide your goals in to manageable units and conquer them.

Goals are divided in to following categories:
Physical, Mental, Psychological, Spiritual, Social, Financial, Career, Fun, Family,
Adventure, Hobbies.

and then

4 years vision (similarly that of Olympics )
2 years
1 year
6 months
3 months (90 days)
1 month (30 days)
and basic element of accomplishment is ONE SINGLE DAY.
If you can conquer one day by day you can conquer entire life.

21 days are essential for forming habits and more 9 days are good for
Over Killing.

I would suggest you to read these articles:

1) Google Answers: Effectively forming new habits

2) 30 Days to Success
