Nuala Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 [...] So this week, I will play violin at least one hour a day and do nothing but that. No computer, no snacking nothing but trying to learn how to work with my violin. In this hour of work will be included:- Working on a scale and its arpeggio- Working on the tricky parts of my concertino(bowing, rhythm)- Playing the full concertino without stopping (endurance)- Stretching, a lot (believe me or not, violin is quite wearying)Still have 2 days left for this challenge. I did ok for now I suppose. I managed to work a full hour everyday but on interval during the week end. Way too much things to do to find a whole hour to play. On Sunday it was really tricky. It was way too much late to play for my last session (I live in an apartment) so I only did some silent exercises, it kinda works.

milythael Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 This required some serious thought. I'm already working hard on most of the foundations of my life to break free of a past that has been holding me back. The one thing I'm not working on right now is face to face social time. So, for this challenge, I will spend one hour per day interacting with people in a social setting. This could be playing with kids in the pool, hanging out saying hello to everyone I see at a park, or even just hanging out with neighbors shooting the breeze.Complete and utter fail. It was a revelation to realize I don't even want to socialize where I live. I also have no willpower or drive to complete more than my current goals. It is more important to me to move than to be social here.

NukeTheUnicorns Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hey guys! Just a few more hours left in this challenge - how did it go? Is there anything we can do to help in these last few crucial hours? Valar Morghulis Link to comment
Nuala Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I did one more hour of violin tonight. Tomorrow will be bonus because it's my weekly 1 hour lesson.Surprisingly, I have find it harder to reserve one hour to my violin training on the weekend, during the week, well it's ok. I'm just a little late for making dinner. On the whole, it was an interesting challenge. I learned a lot, like working on my scales can actually take me 40 minutes, that I have an awful posture that hurts my left arm and that I really need to correct before getting hurt. I was not 100% focused though, I would rate myself B- Nuala, level 13 Robot mistress of pain, Assassin Guild leader First journey: The Rise and fall of an Assassin #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13 Second journey: Crawling back #1 Link to comment
Elastigirl Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Did great during the week. Writing and doing 3 things is a habit I think I'm going to keep up at. It really made me stop and prioritize.

Wildfire Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 So i managed to keep to under two hours of tv for the week. It helped me finish a bunch of things that absolutely needed to get done but I have just been putting off. Successful challenge, and it helped me re-prioritize what i needed to do and what i wanted to do Rogue Assassin"You just have to get up one more time than life can knock you down."STR-3.5 DEX-10.25 STA-4 CON-3.5 WIS-6.25 CHA-5 Link to comment
