Most definitely check it out Luis. It’s not for everyone but it’ll give you a different perspective on how to approach life’s challenges.

Interesting approach to the resolutions paradigm, Alan. Will take a look at the post you recommend.

Yes, I believe you’re right. I think how much we read/listen is besides the point. Building the discipline and keeping to a schedule was the main point of this exercise. I just added 8 more blogs to my reader and as I suspected, it’s starting to get backed up. Now, I realize I have to really focus on what I consume and what needs to be let go. A work in progress without doubt….

Thanks for your thoughts Jan!

Hey Alan, looks like the challenge went pretty well for you! I doubt I can do that many in a day especially this week when I am literally swamped – I have to admit that I’ve abandoned much readings and even Twitter engagement (sigh).
Perhaps the main objective of this challenge was to build discipline – to filter out distractions and focus on a task (or a read) at time to be more effective. Some gurus out there also suggests taking notes after every read on a notebook or something (Evernote, perhaps) for a greater learning experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience in this challenge, Alan!

I can only imagine the amount of materials that you must read! Crazy indeed. I’ll definitely keep you posted and let you know how it goes. Thanks for your thoughts!

Wow, this is a very good idea. I totally get what you mean by the overwhelmed bit. My readers can get a little crazy at times especially when sites like socialmediatoday, socialexaminer and allfacebook updates multiple times daily. Sometimes I get caught up in reading and spend almost the entire day just reading through posts after posts and this method may just be the remedy to it.
Can’t say I’ll try it out right away but I’d want to know how is it working out for you. Let me know how it goes

Thanks Ian! So far, I’ve kept up with everything and it feels good. It definitely helps to have a plan and put it into action instead of trying to bulldoze your way through.

Fantastic. I love your specificity here – I’m just trying to consume everything, but you’re actually building a media consumption practice the way people build meditation practices. Excellent.

Good luck! Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
