Up For A Challenge?

[Valiant]

Could we get some goals and challenges going here on Smart Canucks?

Daily, Monthly or Yearly.



For example:

Housekeeping Challenge
De-Clutter Challenge
No-Spend Challenge
Grocery Budget Challenge
Simplify/Downsize Challenge
Weight Loss Challenge
Sewing Project Challenge
Cooking Challenge
Stockpile Challenge
Money Management Challenge
Debt Reduction Challenge
Emergency Fund Challenge
Christmas Preparation Challenge
Gifts Preparation Challenge
ETC.

One challenge per thread, and interested posters post regularly with their participation and results.
This could be fun as well as an incentive for personal progress on these goals.

i declare defeat.. in every single one of those categories

[Brandy Hunter]

I can do most of that

Other good challenges would be

Giving Back
Donations Challenge (somewhat like decluttering, but donations

[Valiant]

We could also add:
Self-Esteem Challenge
"Just Say No" Challenge
No More Challenges Challenge

(I'm a member of another website where people have a great time participating and posting on these challenges. It's really motivational, and the interaction gives connection with others.)

Good ideas!
So let's do it; post a challenge, or contribute if you like to one that is already posted.

How does this work

[Valiant]

Post a Challenge, or participate in a challenge that is already posted.

(See De-Clutter Challenge September 2011)

So under 'goal' i put what I WANT to do or what I have done (like you)

[Valiant]

Yes; post a new challenge and define it below with your comments. Then update as you like. Or post on someone else's challenge, with your own goals regarding that challenge, and update it when you want.

This idea works best if many people participate in it; otherwise, you'll only be seeing my own 'journal' of the various challenges on the forum.
So don't be shy, join in with your own personal challenges and goals.

Same. Gah!

[Valiant]

That's ok; thanks for taking the time to read this thread topic.
For the rest of us, all challenges are a work in progress.

[Brandy Hunter]

I have an idea for one... making the thread now

[Giving-Small]

Valiant ... it's a good idea and could be fun. Sept is overwhelming - so much already to do.

Neat one for spring: Grow your own food or Buy Local and post what we find to buy local and love.

My own little personal challenge or change i am currently working on is taking care of myself. Its the challenge that is one of the most hardest for myself because I am so used to taking care of everyone else or just being there for everyone else as well. I have personally fallen out of with myself that when i got hurt on the job back in july i just trudged on with the pain, stress, and the constant replay of the events in my day to day strides. That i was off work for a small amount of time but when it came back to work I couldn't hack it i knew somewhere i couldn't hack it and informed everyone around me i couldn't hack it either. I aggrivated my injured part at long last did i finally make the choice with a doctors help to take care of myself.
