In the spirit of new beginnings with the upcoming new year’s resolutions starting to form in the minds of many a young, hopeful soul, I am going to start a new blog series where I take things to completion (ergo the title of this post).
In order to maintain some accountability, I will publish my posts publicly, and not hide them in shame in my Drafts folder, like I am prone to do at times.
If you see me lacking in consistency and follow-through, I challenge you to call me out – in whatever public, shameful, internet-wide harrassment you can muster in true double-dog-dare fashion.
The RULES are set out thus:
1) Once I begin a self-induced challenge post, I must update you on the status of the venture at least once a week.
2) I am allowed to post other, irrelevant posts in between challenge updates.
3) I will set out a timeline concurrent with each challenge.
4) I will count on you to keep me engaged in myself and my efforts; although it sounds like a small return on the investment of your time, I promise to try really hard not to disappoint you.
5) I will try to keep you interested in whatever challenge I take on.
6) Once in a while, I will solicit challenge suggestions from you all. Only once in a while.
7) If possible, I will post at least one picture with each challenge.
And since 7 is the perfect number, I’ll leave this version of RULES set for now.
So in the spirit of challenge and self-accountability, I challenge you to keep yourself accountable by keeping me accountable through challenging me to stay accountable to myself, and to you.
GOALS I hope to achieve:
1) Self-realization about deep spiritual, physical, meta-physical, and immaterial truths
2) Post more than 6 posts in one year (see 2011 Archives)
3) Change the world
4) Feel accomplished
If this war I’ve waged against procrastination falls through before its ripe, you will most likely not see this post in a few hours….
…Challenge, accepted.
You can do it!
