I have been trying hard the past couple of weeks to challenge myself to tackle new projects and try new things. Every day, I set a few goals I will try to tackle, each goal incrementally a little harder.
In life, you have basic requirements that you must fulfill. Work (unless you’re wealthy enough not to earn money), eat and sleep. After those things have been completed (about 10-18 hours of your day) you have plenty of time to try new things. This can be anything you want it to be. The goal is to make sure the new thing is a challenge and you are unlocking a new skill. Although no skill is developed in a day, continuing to practice this idea creates a snowball effect of development. Eventually, when you look back, you’ll see the challenges you completed piled on top of each other and shake your head at the old you.
Challenging yourself every day doesn’t have to be hard. Make it something simple at first and watch the challenges get easier even when they’re incrementally getting harder.
