If you have been reading my latest posts, you will know that I have been trying to do something for each block of 30 days or well.. rounding up to a month.
Part of the project implies posting about it, thus exploiting my motivation on not failing on people to give me extra dedication. For example, this month I have been postponing my challenge and I do realize I have to decide for once and commit to it (by publishing it).
Additionally on a late night chat close to the sea, me and some friends came up with the idea to use the 30 days quests in a social way.
As a first step, by having close friends also involved in 30 days projects we get ideas from each other and we get much more to discuss and motivate about :D. We also discussed to implement a money-scheme (though we did not move forward with it yet):
- Each day in a year is worth 1 euro (week-quests are worth 7 :p)
- For each non-complete quest we set aside it's value in a common box.
- Each month we meet and discuss about experiences on the 30 days quests and our plans on them.
- At the end of one year, we all meet and spend the money together.
We did not agree on the money plan for now, but at least I got another friend on board! In addition we came up with nice 30 days quests that would not only turn 30 days interesting but also aim at improving life-style.
Anyhow, after much thinking between: driving a bit per day to increase my comfort driving and working on warming up my coding skills, I picked the second for this month of October. I haven't been coding anything interesting for almost one year, and I miss programming challenges. So the challenge is to solve at least one problem per day (though problems don't need to be algoritmic all the time, sometimes they can be: write an import script to a calendar). The only rule is that it must run so I work on avoiding my code-writing paralysis.
