Well today while surfing the YouTubes, I found a new video in my subscriptions by a little known video blogger called CharlieIsSoCoolLike. The video was part of his Challenge Charlie series where viewers can challenge him to do different often zany things1; in this case he was challenged to learn and successfully juggle. He does it in just over a week, and at the end of the video suggests others learn how to juggle. Sitting here with nothing better to do with my life other than play Pokémon and apparently watch silly YouTube videos, I said HELLS YEAH.
Following the instructions in this video, I’ve started learning how to juggle, starting with one ball (uniball). This will probably take a little while to get to three balls (gifted), but I’m expecting to have this valuable life skill by the end of the month.
This has of course, gotten me looking at other things I could “learn”, and think about things I’ve put on the backburner, including jump style2, Spanish, and keyboard. This has got me thinking that maybe I should try to push myself a bit more to be more productive, but have fun with it at the same time. How could I do that? By turning it into a game!
So each month starting with the current, I will aim to learn a new skill however minor, starting with the juggling. It could be something that takes ten minutes to learn, or something that takes the whole month (possible more). I’ll post the goal and results so you as the reader, and myself can see the results, however bad or amazing as they would be.
- In the past he’s done things like paint himself purple, eat fish custard and put as many marshmallows in his mouth as possible.
- A type of dance.
