I was watching this video on TED the other day Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days
"Is there something you've always meant to do, wanted to do, but just ... haven't? Matt Cutts suggests: Try it for 30 days. This short, lighthearted talk offers a neat way to think about setting and achieving goals."
I'm sure there's things we've all been wanting to do that don't rank high enough on our priority list (doesn't have to be new) but would still like to do and might make us a better person.
So now I'm putting the challenge out to the SS community to try something you've been wanting to do and do it everyday for 30 days. Let us know what you're doing and the progress too. But more importantly - report post 30 days on the outcome of your challenge.
For me I have a couple:
- To go for a run or bike ride everyday. This is not new but currently I do it very sporadically and it's something I've been procrastinating about for a while so now I want to commit to doing it consistently
- Do something to make my husband feel loved and appreciated. We both lead pretty busy lives and even though we know we love and appreciate each other it often goes unsaid a lot of the time so I want to remind him of this without assuming he knows it already
- I want to get an on-line gallery / store happening for the photos I've taken over the years. I have about 60 ready to go but have well over 70,000 photos sitting on various hard drives that need to sorted and the picks to be edited so I will aim to get at least 1 photo edited a day
I realise I've slightly deviated from the point which is to try something new, but I also need to be practical. As much as I would like to write a novel or learn a new language I am very time-poor at the moment so am wanting to embrace this challenge without compromising on the other aspects of my life but have it still being a challenge.
Here we go!
