My New Site: Daily 15
I was reading a self improvement site a month ago and while reading it I had a thought.
“Is this actually going to make ANY difference in my life?”
Nope. Then I started thinking about what WOULD make a difference, and for reference I thought about things that had changed my life.
What they all had in common, above all, is that they were habits that could be applied on a regular basis. Most had measurable results. So I sat down and came up with a site that ANYONE can use to make their life better in a lot of ways.
I modeled it after Crossfit. They post a workout every day, you do the workout, and then you post your results. Easy, quick, measurable, and fun.
Daily 15 is a site where I post a challenge every day that will take fifteen minutes or less. The challenges cover a lot of different areas ranging from social skills to physical fitness. Most are based on habits that I have formed and found valuable.
I chose 15 minutes because it’s enough time to make a difference, but short enough that anyone can fit it into their schedule. I have already planned a number of the daily challenges. I think you’ll find them interesting, fun, and very beneficial.
The first challenge has just been posted. Go check it out and please post your results to help me get things rolling!

It’s a great idea. I think being able to post your results from the challenge is important.
I have a ‘Daily 15′ Exercise:
Sit down with a blank sheet of paper and brainstorm all the possible ways in which you can give your new idea a life of its own after you lose interest. What are the tasks that you are currently doing that could be done by someone else? Who could you get to do them? How could you motivate those people?

This is a great idea!
Please don’t compare Tynan to Steve Pavlina. Steve creeps me out.

Terrific idea!
My first thought was of logistics; wouldn’t “further developed” people need different questions, etc.?
I checked out the site and I realized the brilliant simplicity of it. It won’t be perfect, because certain challenges will be better for certain people, but it’s better than anything else out there. This whole concept blows me away.
Be sure to actually post the challenges.
You could program it so that you could come up with a month’s worth or more at a time, and have them automatically updated daily. Additionally, you could have old ones be re-used on newer signups.
Just two ideas. Great job man! I think I’ll get a lot out of this.

You know sometimes the self help sites you read actually do help and give you some insight that you may have not thought of yourself.
Of course, if you only read something once, it probably won’t stick, but if you read the same thing over and over in different locations, its bound to sink in someday.
