Simply..the latest....

..30 day challenge. Which was to spend at least 30 minutes a day on doing something that I had been putting off!

It's been hard work and I managed 22 days - which does represent a lot of things getting done. Of course the list is long and is always getting added to...

I won't bore you with the details as it is of course the most boring things that I put off. (Appointments/enquiries/energy comparison sites/setting up the new printer etc).

Having said that it has been a satisfying achievement and I do feel better for getting some of the long standing tasks off my mind.

Are you trying a 30 day challenge? I am continuing with the exercise video (here),  once or twice a week and the Italian programme (here) most days for just 10 or 15 minutes.  These were my last two self-imposed challenges and I will keep up the latest one until at least the 30 days.

It's really just about focus. Leo Babauta, from whom the idea came (here) says being accountable to someone is a great motivator, and committing myself publicly here on the blog to doing these things did help me stick to them.

For September I plan to do something a little fun every day, push myself out of my comfort zone in some way, be a little daring, follow a whim, have a giggle, be a little silly..

Join me?

You could start with a wee laugh over at Lucille's.

I've just posted on my latest challenge - to begin each day with 15 minutes silence. Your fun challenge sounds, well, fun!

Somehow it doesn't feel like a challenge. More like suddenly deceiding this is the right time to do it.
Yesterday as the first day of September I started writing 200 words first thing in the morning. I have no goal nor a set plan. Just writing 200 words (more is okay too) a day and see at the end of the month where my writing - no reading back until then - has taken me.

What a joy it is to feel that you are doing the right thing, in the right place, at the right time......savour it Cath. Like Gai's silence it sounds a lovely way to start your day.

Sign me up for a "challenge" of 30 days of fun and whimsy. Heck, I'm so into this I might do a fun duty several times/day.
