What's the most difficult challenge that you could take on right now?
For me, it's waking up early. By far. I was never able to make this one of my habits for longer than 5 days at a time. Not even when I was on duty in the army.
Fun fact: My company once had... "adjustments" to face because the commander caught me in bed two minutes before the morning muster. ππΌπͺπββοΈ
Truthfully, I'm terrified by the words I'm typing right now. So much even, that I've moved the wake up time 1 hour later to 6 am, although originally I wanted it to make 5 am. But I honestly don't believe I can make that.
Yeah, it's that bad.
Anyway. This challenge is also part of me building Good Tendency in public. And I'm starting by using it in public. I want to see how well it truly does the job.
How the app works in a nutshell: It will charge me an amount of money when I start a habit. If I stay true to my ambitions, it will pay me back my money. If I don't fulfill my task (waking up at 6 am), it will not pay me back. In this case, I'm gonna set the amount to $5. That puts me at risk of losing 60 x $5 = $300 at most.
At the end of the challenge, I will donate the amassed amount to a local animal shelter.
Every day before 6:15 am I will tweet a photo showing my watch and a beverage of my choice to further keep me publicly accountable. π€
