We're all set up on a community app so we can nerd out together on our most exciting progress, setbacks, and imperfect experiences.

These Are the "Rules"

Unlike other challenges, adjustments for sustainability are encouraged.

Sleep 7+ hours per night

Listen. I know I really need 9. But I'm not always gonna get 9. But less than 7? Then I know I'm screwed. If you think you're the exception to humans needing sleep I challenge you to see how much more productive you are in a month of getting 7+ hours per night. Then we'll talk.

No blue light one hour before bed

You know it. I know it. Blue light messes up sleep. This is one I've battled with for years and even though I still don't get it perfectly right every night, checking this off even 60% of the time has improved my life.

(Avg. time = 0mins)

Go to bed at the same time every night (sort of)

We're not robots and sometimes life requires things of us that don't perfectly suit our ideal schedule. That's why we're flexible! So decide on your goal sleep schedule and go to sleep within 90mins of your goal time.

(Avg. time = 0mins)

Plan your day the night before

This is huge. It takes 5 minutes. Helps to get all your thoughts from floating in your head to a piece of paper or software so you can have peace of mind as you wind down. Plus, in the morning you wake up knowing exactly what the day holds instead of wondering and wandering.

(Avg. time = 5 mins)

Complete your morning routine

I've tried a hundred morning routines, and have enough experience to know someone else's routine that's
perfect" for them could suck for you. So choose this for yourself, or continue the one you already have. And I've got more tips for how to design the routine suitable for you inside the challenge members area.

(Avg. time = 10 mins)

Start with your hardest work task first

It's far too easy to look at the clock at 1, or 3, or 7pm and realize you've procrastinated that ever most important task you really needed to get done today. Let's commit to stop doing that together, for one month. After your morning routine, sit down (or stand) and start your hardest work task first. You don't even have to finish it. But you have to start it.

(Avg. time = 1min)

Exercise for 10 minutes per day

This can be as simple as a 10-minute walk. Just get up and move.

(Avg. time = 10mins)

Read 1 page or listen to 1 minute per day

Kindle, paperback, magazine, audible, podcast, non-fiction or fiction...doesn't matter. I listen to non-fiction that inspires me and sparks creativity. My wife reads fiction on kindle to fall asleep. Read or listen to get ideas, learn, or relive stress. Whatever you like, do that.

(Avg. time = 1 min)

Decide on and follow a healthy nutrition plan

You'll want to do this one. It's game changing. I'll tell you how I streamlined healthy eating in the members area.

(Avg. time = 0mins)

Drink a half to full gallon of water daily

I started drinking a full gallon per day about a year ago. (I'd tried many many times for years before that) And I'll never go back. Sure, I have days where I f*ck up. And that's okay. That's more than okay, because those days I feel ridiculously dehydrated and it reminds me of why I have that on the checklist to begin with. If you don't live a life where you can run to the restroom 15 times per day, go with the half gallon.

(Avg. time = 0mins)

Walk 8-12k steps daily

Is this one obvious yet? 

(Avg time = 60mins)

Complete your evening routine

Same as the morning routine, this needs to be designed to suit your needs. We'll go over ideas in the members area.

(Avg. time = 15 mins)

Follow the 2-day rule

It's as simple as this - don't miss two days in a row on any of these "rules". That's what makes this the Imperfect Challenge. We're striving for sustainability here, not perfection.
