Four Week Challenge #2: I want your help

I have several ideas for this upcoming four week challenge, and want your help or ideas on what to do for the next challenge.

I was originally going to do it on budgeting, but could not create some aggressive and outlandish goals to achieve. Thus, the consideration would be that the challenge would be on educating myself to better understand budgeting, and by the end of the challenge to have a strict and valuable budgeting process created and implemented. What do you think of this kind of “process-based” (as opposed to “goal-based”) challenge?

Here are some other ideas:
- Adhering to a strict sleep schedule every single day, including weekends.
- Sincerely and significantly compliment someone every single day.
- Recording, analyzing, and reframing assumptions that are made every single day. Such as “that guy that just cut me off is a jerk.” Reframing it to “Well, maybe he’s on his way to the hospital, in which case, I’m happy to let him in.” I’ve actually done this one and it resulted in my overall happiness increasing dramatically. I would be willing to refine it even more for the sake of the readers here and for my own benefit as well.
- Creating a list of “28 things to get done” and getting a new one done each day. This would be to begin creating a small habit of not allowing loose ends to stay loose, and creating a habit of getting things done.

I have some other good challenges that will push anyone’s limits, but with my travel schedule this month and due to a pending move, I am wanting to hold off on some of those.

So, that said, what do you think? Are there any others that you think I should consider?

    What about learning a new language in 28 days?

    I don’t think you could do the regular sleep pattern for more than 28 hours. ;-)

    LOL - you’re right about me and a regular sleep pattern. But at least I would know if it’s beneficial or not. ;)

    Actually, a new language would be really cool and is on my list of things to do over the next few years. Great idea.
