Inspired by Fox 's thread i am going to complete my version of the 75 hard. Hat's of to everyone who was able to complete his 75 hard challenge, doing something everyday for 75 days regardless of the task is a great accomplishment. Also reading heavy_industry 's progress thread was really inspiring, good to hear that you felt a lot better!
However i am in a great place mentally and physically so i want to make it a little bit harder, i also want to include some business related habits.
so here are the rules i have set myself and why i won't follow certain rules.
2. Will follow this one but slightly different. 1 strenght workout of at least an hour in the gym and 1 workout outside but anything counts (walking cycling jogging playing football etc)
3. Nope, will just make me go to the toilet a bunch of times and flush out a lot of important minerals. 2 liters is more than enough.
4. Seems a bit pointless because this will total 750 pages or 2/3 books, which is not that much. But why not, will do
5. I will use a flip phone during this challenge so this will be quite hard to do, so will take a before and after picture instead
6. yes absolutely
Now the rules i would like to add:
1. Cold shower of at least 1 minute every day, this will absolutely suck since it's winter here and freezing outside. Also the energy bill is way to high for us so we don't use heating during the day. I have already tried to stick to this habit but failed multiple times after staring at that shower for over 20 minutes.
2. Wake up at 6 am everyday, skyrockets productivity for me, also hard in the winter because it's cold and dark for the first few hours.
3. As i said earlier i will use a flip phone during this challenge, so no internet.
4. Zero tv, netflix, youtube, social media, the only exception to this will be spotify after 8 pm to listen to podcasts. I'm going to call this one no entertainment. I have installed a blocker for this so i can't cheat. This also means no news or anything. The only entertainment allowed is the forum but only after 3:30 pm. This combined with the flip phone will make my screen time and internet use 100% work related.
5. No music or radio in the car.
6. A bunch of nightime habits that i will combine in "nightime routine" it consist of having a clean room and desk, writing down the most important task that i will start the next day with, write an update in this thread and clothes ready.
7. Eat the frog, or executing the most important task before doing anything else once the day starts
Summary of the tasks
I might be a bit arrogant and overconfident but i don't see myself losing this challenge so i will give 200 euros away to a random follower of the thread if i fail to complete a single rule once. Challenge starts tomorrow with my first frog task being register my brand for 3 more categories in europe. You can follow my execution thread here.
