Hi,

It is difficult to be motivated everyday. If I watch an inspirational movie, I will be motivated for 2-3 days. Then back to being lazy. Or something comes up - festival, wedding, exams, etc - and I go off track.

So I found a new way. Last month I did a challenge with one of my friend - we both picked a task to do everyday. It could be anything - do a leetcode challenge, apply to 1 company a day or walk 10k steps.

The rule is simple - pick a task - that you can quantify - and do it everyday.

Now here is the motivation part - if you don't, you lose $10.

By midnight, either send a photo of task completed or send $10 to your friend.

Now loosing $10, that is motivation!

So find a task and a friend and try the challenge for the month of December. It is 31 days towards 1 task.

Doing 1 small task for 31 days >>>> doing 1 big task for few days.

Doing 1 leetcode challenge for 31 days >>> doing it for 5 days and than going off-track.

Applying to 2 companies a day is 62 companies applied >>> applying to 5 company on day 1, 10 on day 2 and then nothing for rest of the days.

❤️ Things I am enjoying right now

📖 Book - Wedding Night - Sophie Kinsella - It is a hilarious book about how a sister is ruining her sisters honeymoon.

📺 Movie - Queen - this movie is a gem. It is a hindi movie about a girl whose fiance break-ups with her a day before their wedding. She takes the brave step of going abroad on their honeymoon by herself. The story is about how she learns what is right for her, about facing her fears and expanding her thinking.
