Level 5: Re-fawned! My fifth challenge now? Some successful and some less so - all have been good motivation to get things done, and so I’d like to continue with them. I most definitely have a “Let’s do ALL the things NOW†mentality, even though I know it isn’t the best way to get things done well. So I was happy to let all that crazy loose by making an “ALL the things†epic quest list for 2015. I have had a long sit down and thought about what I would like to achieve this year and who I want to be at the end of it. Not going to lie, I love that list. I stare at it lovingly quite a bit. And I will love it even more when I cross things off it! So today I’m going to start. And Talvi looked upon the simplicity of the NF challenge, the elegance of the quests and the beauty of the goals, and she thought “lol jk nope, let’s make this more complicatedâ€. Now my two most successful challenges had two completely different setups; one was simply three quests + progress log, and the other had a flexible points system earned by doing stuff. I present to you my mutant setup! Three goals + a flexible point system for each so that if I can’t do a lot at once, I can do a lot of little instead. I can pass each week by getting 6 Strength, 6 Agility and 6 Intelligence points. STRENGTH Get closer to that mythical pull-up Possible challenge reward: +3 STR, +1 DEX, +1 STA 3 points = BBWW + Negatives 2 points = Warm-up + rows/planks/hangs/negatives/curls 1 point = 10 minutes play 1 point = Bouldering AGILITY Beat my 5K PR (28.44 minutes) Possible challenge reward: +4 STA & +1 CON 3 points = Running session (10+ laps) 3 points = Run to the adult playground, play and run back (total 6km) 1 point = Post-bouldering mini jog of 1 - 4 laps INTELLIGENCE Learn to speak Spanish (Benny Hill style) Possible challenge reward: +3 WIS & +2 CHA 1 point: 30 minutes speaking 0.5 points: 20 minutes listening to Spanish One session of Anki Spanish flashcards I bought the book and I’m going to try the learning to speak rather than read whatever which way it says. I haven’t read anything more than on the website yet, so I’m not sure what I’ll be doing yet and so the following points criteria is subject to change. Image by Karzahnii (DeviantArt)
