Mini-challenge 5: Mission Impossible: LEARN!

[Chanda]

 

Good morning fellow Druid,

 

Reflect on your life, are you stuck in a rut? Repeating the same things day in and day out? NF Rebellion HQ agents are daring. They are constantly learning and trying new things.

 

This week, your mission Druid, should you decide to accept it, is to learn. You have a week from the posting of this message to learn or try new things!

As always, should you or any of your Guild be caught or killed, NF Rebellion HQ will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

This message will not self-destruct in five seconds. 

Good luck Druid.
 

Its time for the fifth Druid mini-challenge!!! 

The details:

• There will be 6 mini-challenges in total. Challenges so far: FIND, ON TIME, EXCEL, INSPIRE and LEARN.
• Each mini-challenge starts when I post the mini-challenge topic (usually on a Sunday or Monday) and runs until the following Monday at 23:59 (your time zone). Technically it is possible that 2 mini-challenges run at the same time... if I post the next mission on a Sunday you can continue with the previous mission until the Monday and already start on the next mission. Confused? Don't worry... its not that complicated!    
• Participation in the mini-challenges is optional but encouraged. 
• Why participate? Its fun to play, what you do is generally something that is useful for you... and if that wasn't enough to motivate you, you can award yourself +1 attribute point if you complete at least 1 mission in all 6 mini-challenges (you can choose the attribute that gets the point). 
• Who can participate? Anyone. Druids and any members of other guilds can join any of the mini-challenges.
• What do you have to do? That will depend on the mission. You can complete as many missions as you like for the week the mini-challenge is running for.
• Log your completed missions here: COMPLETED MISSIONS
• Remember this is supposed to be fun... so don't stress, don't let it get you side-tracked from your own challenge and most importantly: HAVE FUN!!!!

This week the mission is to learn new things. You can count a LEARN mission as completed when you have learned something new or tried something new. 

 

Ideas for the week:

• Try a new exercise routine.
• Learn how to do a new yoga movement (hahaha in 1 week, I know....)
• Learn how to cook a new recipe. 
• Try a new food. 
• Learn how to use a new program on your computer.
• Try a new feature on your mobile phone.
• Learn a new craft.
• Try a new bed time routine.
• Meet a new person.

Now get out there and learn something new! Try something new! How else are you going to get that cheese?

It must be a sign - the Coursera class I've had my eye on: A Beginner's Guide to Irrational Behavior by Dan Ariely - starts today. So I signed up. 7-10 hours of work a week. I hope this isn't nuts.

I didn't even think of "sign up for a class" as an example. Way to go on completing your LEARN mission in such a spectacular way!

 

7-10 hours of work a week is huge... but not impossible if you stay consistent with doing some every day.

I've always wanted to meditate but it's so hard for me to stay still!

This challenge is perfect, I'm going to practice my focus and hopefully until Monday I'll be able to meditate for at least 30minutes!

i asked his mom for her recipe she actually uses 1 egg and alot of water to make like a pancake batter and puts it in muffin pans half way. i have no idea how it's going ot turn out. i'm more worried about the yorkshire pudding than the turkey!!

[Chanda]
