There’s rules. Of course there are. And I shall try my best to not fuck them up. That might not end up being much, but eh. It’s the commitment that counts, right?

The rules, as I mentioned before, need to be flexible enough for my lazy ass to resist the temptation to nope out. I know myself, I know how I feel when it comes to rules and regulations binding up my muse and chucking her off a cliff. Don’t want that. No sir. Nuh uh.

So the rules are simple, and very inspired by common-sense. Here we go:

  1. Self-esteem is a priority: No feeling guilt over not being able to follow through. This is a guideline for attaining better things in life, not a jail sentence.
  2. It doesn’t work in micro-settings: A colour on the calendar has to last a minimum of four days. That is to say, If we are focusing on one type of task, we focus on it for four days or more.
  3. Say it like you mean it: At the start of every color change, there has to be a blog post declaring your intentions with the week–the color, the subcolor, the main tasks you hope to do, etc. Journaling twice a day every day might be a good idea too!
  4. It’s not set in stone: Emergencies (like a college assignment or sudden invitation to a job interview) can be reasons for temporarily ignoring rule #2.
  5. Don’t be a wuss: For each given day, try to get at least two hours of the color in. This is ideal, not essential, but will be kind of cool.
  6. The duality of man woman: A colour does not mean it is the only aspect of life that I should focus on. Focusing on just my videos for a week will drive me fucking insane. Another colour can be backup to break through the monotony. However, for any given day, the amount of time spent on the secondary color has to be no more than a third of the amount of time spent on the main color.
  7. Don’t be naughty: No cheating with habit tracking.
