I have come up on an idea and I am scared

Discussion in 'Random Thoughts' started by Gone and forgotten, Aug 4, 2019.

  1. you see....

    I want to do a 100 day work challenge, challenging myself. I am on day 7 now. The idea is to work 8 hours a day for 100 days straight. No days off.
    The reason I am scared is cause I looked it up on the internet and nobody has done it. Could this become big? Thought?

    I hope not because then you're just living to work and that's not cool.

    Many self-employed or small business owners have been doing this all their lives. Work is good for the soul they say. Didn't hurt me, now I'm really enjoying that retirement. I once went 8 years without a weekend or vacation... zipped right by.

    Why would you want to do that? Does not compute
     
  5. Just a challenge and it’s with my own business. I love what I do and I think it is a real challenge
     
  6. It’s only 100 days

    Been there, done that, didn't post it on the internet.


    (because there wasn't an internet)
     
  8. What should I do? Do it and not say anything?

  14. You are right! I do like to challenge people though. In good spirit and humor of course. Isn’t everybody up for a little challenge once in awhile? Stir things up a bit

    i say no. a lot of people have worked those kinds of hours, but not because of some silly internet challenge. the same should go for you. if you really care about what you're doing, and working those hours makes sense, then so be it. but working excessively for the sake of working excessively, that's just not a good way to live.

    well if you're doing something you enjoy, that's its own reward. the risk here is burnout. the loss of inspiration, the scaring away of your muse.
    i think of everything i do as working in a way, but not as work, because it isn't about money and doesn't have to be.
    but i do need diversity of what i experience and absorb, to keep up the flow of a diversity of ideas.

    just remember to eat and get enough sleep.

  18. Thank you. I am getting sleepy now...indica
     
  19. Your lucky you think your work is fun. If I enjoyed my work, sure I'd do it for 100 days straight. What can one say, but have fun.
     
  20. Thanks for the encouragement Neo, you are one of my favorite people here
