Challenge #2: TOP TEN

I love Top Ten lists.

Maybe it’s because I love Late Night with David Letterman.

Or perhaps it’s because Top Ten lists give such instant clarity. Within seconds I can understand a bulleted list of the Best Movies of 2009 or the Worst Restaurants in Atlanta, the Most Wanted Fugitives or the Fastest Rollercoasters in the World.

Sometimes a Top Ten list can help you see things about yourself you never considered before… which is why it will be your next challenge. This particular challenge is quite simple and could easily take ten minutes or five hours, depending on your effort.

Challenge #2: Make a list of the top ten things that you spend the most time on in a given week. Try to rank them in order, with #10 being the least amount of time spent, and #1 being the most amount of time. Be honest!

The truth is, we become consumed by stuff. Maybe it's our cellphone. Perhaps an intense online game of Call of Duty. HDTV. A new car. Facebook. Homework. Sports.

Think about it. Then list the things that are sucking up your time. Once you make your list, simply post it on this blog.

Then… prepare yourself for Saturday, Challenge #3: LENT
