 40-Day Challenge Report: Day 11

The challenge is over on Day 11. I struck out on Daily Office by accidentally sleeping in this morning. Disappointing. I don't want to make up modifications to let the challenge keep going - it has failed in its originally conceived form. The plan now is to either begin a new challenge tomorrow, or a new challenge with its start date set 10 days ago, but with significantly modified goals and disciplines.

This has been a really helpful exercise for me. I've been getting maybe 30% more work done, closing in on solid burpee shape, and am in the Psalms on a much more regular basis than I was previously. Little steps in the right direction.

For my new plan, the main takeaway here is that I need to allow more wiggle room for life to happen on hour-by-hour disciplines like the Daily Office. I want to make the challenge easier in this respect, but more difficult and more focused in terms of the long-term goals for the end of the challenge.

I will keep the blog updated!
