What I learned doing an arbitrary 21 day challenge and we're back Mike Cernovich

Cernovich.com CERN O v I cch.com I did this nifty little challenge with an app called

SPAR SPAR and it was pretty cool. We learned a lot together, the whole group of us learned a lot together. It was a joint challenge that I should have advertised more widely on the email list from the podcast but I'll let you guys and

gals and on the next one so what is SPAR it's a group challenge-based app where

you set something that you have to do you have to check in it could be a

daily check in or weekly check in and if you don't check in you pay a penalty

the penalty ranges from three dollars I believe to ten dollars a day, and it goes as follows.

So I'll just tell you the challenge we did.

The challenge was for 21 days, every day you had to do something physical,

and you had to read a book uninterrupted for 30 days.

Now physical challenge, I kept it loose, I kept the challenge loose for a number of reasons.

One is if you have a really big penalty for a spar,

there's a pot that gets big and everybody who checks in every day shares

in that pot. So you're going to attract a lot of just cheaters. There's a lot of people

who will just jump into every kind of challenge they can and to claim money and that was never really

the idea. It was more like a peer pressure kind of thing and that's also why we kept physical activity very loose.

So for me 21 days I did something physical. Physical again we defined as spa infrared sauna plunge, or athletic activity lifting.

So I'd either lifted, hiked, or walked at least five miles every day for 20 days,

and one of the days I did contrast therapy a lot of stretching.

Because again, the game isn't to make it hard so that people can't check in.

A few lessons I learned too especially about traveling and

especially why I think the app is really cool really good I was in you know I travel a lot
