What this is all about


Making everyday life experiences and activities (that may either be mundane or taken for granted) and adding a challenge to them.
It's about pushing comfort zones, learning new things and adapting to change.

#8 - Book In a Week

Challenge: Read a book in a week.

372 pages in 7 days. That's the fastest I've ever read a book. "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins was a book I kept hearing about from people. I figured it has to be somewhat entertaining since they're making it into a movie. And it was. I recommend it. I'm onto the second part of the trilogy, but downloaded an audiobook. It seems like cheating, but I am much more excited to get in my car to drive anywhere now.

Take-aways
1. Reading a book in a compressed amount of times really makes it more enjoyable versus reading sporatically and feeling out of touch with the book.
2. I can see why so many people read. It's sometimes better than a movie because I get to use my imagination. And what an imagination I have.

NEXT CHALLENGE: MEET AS MANY STRANGERS AS POSSIBLE

  1. I love your blog, Cole! It's always amusing. Some of your challenges are things I do in everyday life, like reading a book in a week, but other ones I couldn't imagine doing, like giving up my cellphone. Have you ever thought about trying a week without looking in a mirror/at your reflection? I just moved and covered my mirrors to paint the place, and then realized how often I use them!
