I’m joining my girlfriend in doing a “21 Day Challenge” – a challenge arranged by an online friend of hers in which people set themselves three goals which they pursue over 21 days. Apparently, it takes 21 days for us humans to form a habit. We both have our forms printed and filled out, which contain the 21 days ready to mark off.
Here are my goals:
getting up earlier weekdays and improving my daily schedule;
progress in learning German;
lifting dumbells or training with my Power Ball (alternate days).
Today is our first day, and so far I’ve marked off 1 and 2.
Getting up earlier (6am today) has meant my eyes have been feeling tired, but I made good progress through my to-do-list and felt like I’d accomplished a lot by 4/5pm (even though I took about an hour-and-a-half out for lunchbreak stuff) – I won’t need to work late tonight like I often have done, and I’m feeling quite pleased with myself. I’ll be getting an early night tonight, and hope I soon adjust to the change.
For my German, I’ve reminded myself of and relearnt the regular verb endings, using ‘kommen’ as my example. I need to make sure I reuse what I learn as I have the type of brain that forgets things easily unless they’re in constant use.
That just leaves either lifting my dumbells or using my Power Ball, which I’ll probably do while we watch a film.
