Project 50 challenge

I feel like I’ve fallen off the wagon a little and I don’t like it. I’ve regained 3kgs in the last 2 weeks and really don’t want to fall into my old habits.

So to combat this, I am starting the Project 50 challenge, for me, here are the rules:

  1. Wake up before 8AM
  2. Read 10 pages (of a self improvement book)
  3. Exercise for 1 hour
  4. No junk food
  5. Learn new skill
  6. Do your “Morning Routine”
  7. Journal

Failing any of these means having to restart the challenge or admitting defeat. I don’t want to do any of these.

Waking up before 8AM is an easy one for me as for years, I’ve been on my feet by 6.

Read 10 pages. I really want to read more and I am happy that this is a part of my challenge. I am currently reading Beyond order by Jordan Peterson and already have a few books lined up.

Exercise means anything from gym to going for a walk, but it has to be at least an hour and it has to happen every day.

No junk food for 50 days is going to be incredibly challenging. Today is the 19th of November, making it 43 days till new year. That means that I have to go through all the xmas holidays without having any junk food, never done that before in my life, but I want to try this. I will also make a rule for no purchased sweets(or cereals) of any kind. Meaning if I am absolutely desperate for a sugar fix, I have to prepare it myself.

Learning a new skill is a tricky one, I considered something completely new to me like 3d modelling, but I settled on learning TypeScript as it seems like it’s taking over my industry and I don’t want to be left behind.

Morning Routine means meditation, reading and exercise. Getting these things out of the way to prepare myself for a successful day.

Journal.This feels like one of the most challenging ones for me. Journaling doesn’t come easy for me and am almost never motivated to put my thoughts down on paper. But I gotta commit and possibly do this as part of the morning routine too. Perhaps reflecting on the day before and what I’ve just read would always give me something to write about.

So here we go.
