Last year I issued a challenge to all my readers: Find ten tasks that need to be finished, and complete them in ten days. It's a steep challenge - but if you need a kick to break through procrasinating it's a GREAT way to get going.
So we're going to do it again! You have one week to decide which 10 tasks you'd like to complete, then list them on your side bar. I will do a linky at the 5 day mark to show your progress and the 10 day mark to show your results. If you need a cheerleader to keep motivated, then your challenge buddies will help you out! Your tasks can be as simple as decluttering a drawer or as big as sewing a slipcover. It's all up to you.
The challenge will begin next Wednesday, June 23rd and end Friday, July 2nd.
The 5 day link up will be on Sunday, June 27th.
Are you game?
oh gina. i so need this kick in the butt. BUT, i'm going to be gone for the first 5 days! auughh!

oh my! i need to think about it.... that might cause me too much stress, but it would be darn good for me! :)
ReplyDeleteI am in
ReplyDeleteI'm in but not sure how wonderfully this will work since I'll be away most of the time it's happening...but there's lots of to do things I can take with me on my travels
ReplyDeleteMe!!!! I have a big list of things I want to get done before the 4th anyway! This would be fun!
ReplyDeleteI so need this - mine's not exactly decorating, but it is renovation of sorts - we're moving (again!) and I have exactly ten days from today to purge, pack and clean this house.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome idea, Gina! :) I have to work at VBS next week (eeeek!!), so I don't know how much I'd accomplish, but I bet I can try. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! I'm game! Already have a list that's been sitting around here forever with more than 10 things on it...time to get it done (:
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a way to get things done. I have a long list and need to break the habit of procrastination. I know I need to do this. Thanks for the inspiration.

That sounds great Gina...so fun!!! Hey I adore your new header...is it new or just the whole blog..it's so pretty and fresh. I know you did a new look but can't remember if everything got changed or some things. It looks similar.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten a face lift too thanks to a detailed blog critique by Brent Riggs...you on the other hand are doing everything right. :o)
I'm game! Let's do it!!
I'm gonna give it some serious thought. I'll work on a list today. I definitely need to do it! My brother and neice are coming to stay with us for the summer. I have a whole basement room that needs to be finished!!! Aaahhhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea - sometimes I really do need cheerleaders to accomplish something. :)

My middle name is 'Procrastination'. So this motivation would be great! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI got super excited when I read this as I've been procrastinating in basically every area of my life for quite awhile. I'm putting together a list and getting ready! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think im ready because my things are things like clean out the garage lol but if little things count then I might give it a shot,
ReplyDeletegood luck to all u brave souls doing this challenge, i'm looking foward to seeing the progress!
I'm in. But "finishing the boys' bunkbed" may not make it to the list.
ReplyDeleteI am so in!!!

Hi Gina,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm up for it or not, but I'm in! Is it okay to count something that I just finished, that's been on the list for years? Okay or not, I think I'm gonna count it....

I think I need this every week! I started yesterday and got 4 lingering tasks completed! Thanks for the motivation. (oh, and I did not let these tasks consume the whole day, I even managed to have fun in the sun with my kiddos)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun! Now to find 10 things that I need to complete that I can do during the week after work since my son has baseball every weekend for the rest of the month.
ReplyDeleteSmiles~

this is GENIUS and I am all over it!
ReplyDeleteBring it on, Sista, I'm in!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I will also be away for 4 of those days, but maybe I'll double up on 4 of the days I'm home. Yeah, right.
ReplyDeleteI will be in, I have some large projects that need to be started. Just need to figure out how to break it down to 10 items...
ReplyDeleteI want to join this! Today was my last day of school so this is the perfect way to jump start summer!
ReplyDeleteSIGN ME UP! I AM IN!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late in joining and a newcomer to your blog, so I hope it's okay that I take the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI have tons of stuff that I have been procrastinating on, so maybe this will give me the motivation I need!
Too bad this hits right in the middle of our family vacation. I can't wait for the next one!
