The 100 days of Productivity works just as it reads. The challenge consists of doing at least one productive task each day and helps with accountability and building a good habit.
Since much people already do a lot of productive stuff every day - cleaning the house, going to work, attending classes and exercising, the challenge will not work if it's about all the things that you are already familiar with. To make it work, you need a specific goal in mind, it could be a book you want to finish, a new language you want to learn, a project you want to develop, or (in my case) improve my coding skills in Python.
How to do it?
These are the steps that you need to do, so that it will help you complete this challenge:
- Choose an achievable and realistic goal;
- Make a plan that will guide you during the challenge;
- Divide the 100 days in sets with "checkpoints". For example, if you want to make a certain project you will divide it in parts, estimate how much time you'll spend on each part and therefore be able to track if you are behind or ahead of the schedule;
- Pick an free time on your calendar or at least a period of the day to dedicate to the challenge;
- and... Starting it :)
