I first heard Jon Acuff speak at BigStuf and since then I
have been following him on social media.
To kick off the year he started something called 30 Days of Hustle. Here is his description of the concept:
“The concept is simple; in 2014 we are going to “Do More
Stuff.” That’s it. For 30 days in a row
starting on January 1st, I will send you one short, simple task via email. At
the end of the 30 days we will measure our results, share our successes, dust
off our failures and start again. One of
the ways we will do this is through a concept called “Goal Contagion.”
Scientists have found that you are dramatically more likely to accomplish your
goals if you can see other people working on goals. You don’t have to even meet
the person; simply reading about what they’re working on gives you a literal
boost.” – Jon Acuff
I figured it would align well with my resolutions and my
commitment to be more specific and intentional as well measuring my progress
regularly. Here are my updates from the
first three days. I’ll post my recap at
the end of the 30 days including my progress compared to my goals.
