Great idea. I’m pleased to say that if you allowed to go over 100 then I would be on 112. As an interim manager I get to choose the projects I work on. So I don’t get distractions and I get paid for what I do. I’ve not had breakfast yet, but I do have time scheduled to go to the gym at 12.

If I had to choose a blog topic for a guest post, then I’d love one on how to see the positive in what you do.

OK, so only 6 days later ….
1,2,3 – full marks – hurrah! Although, I don’t set the alarm, my son is my alarm! So if you’re asking me to I get up the first time he shouts for me, I guess I’d actually better score -3. I’m sure I snooze him at least once

So, -3+5+7 = 9?

Right, question 4 is a problem. I have no desk as such but my favourite place to work is the dining room table which currently has … eek, a lot of clutter! Can I come back tomorrow? Counting the items, about 40 I guess

9-40 Actually, I’m scoring this all wrong aren’t I. Start with 100 you said. OK, so trying again.

100 (can’t add any more cos you said no more than 100) so I guess that means I’m to take off 3 for the alarm and 40 for the desk? So I’m down to um, 57 so far.

Right …+10 for q.5 (yey!) but cheating slightly now because I honestly have no tasks left to complete (aside from this!) so scoring 0,0 and +5 for 6, 7 and 8.

This isn’t looking too good. Have to say yes to number 9 (still haven’t started BootStrapBranding or got posts scheduled for my trip to France) and I conservatively estimate that I check my email about, um, ah, lots of times in an hour. I’m known to have whole conversations back and forth so end up checking every couple of minute. So let’s be generous and say 20 times an hour.

So what’s that done to the score?
57+5-10-10 = 42 (gulp)

But yes, I was in bed before 12 last night so back up to 47

Have I relaxed today? Yeah, why not So I’m at 47+20=67

College or work? – nope 67+5=72
Nap? – nope 72-3=69

Am I rewarded for the tasks I do? Define reward. But from my perspective, yes, very, very much so 69+10=79!

Hurrah! That was nothing like as bad as my dad’s disaster Although let off the hook a lot by it being time for bed!

The desk almost did me in the first time too! Its a horrible question really, but it does affect things (or so I’ve noticed).

Definitely let me know if you have a photo; I could post it in the follow up post in a couple of days.

I scored zero once I got to question 4. Mind you, question 1 threw me as I don’t have the alarm set on Saturday or Sunday so had to pretend it was my usual weekday 6.30 alarm. Doing really well therefore until question 4. There is well over 100 things I don’t need on my desk! I’ll see if i can post a photo somewhere just to show you the mess!

Relaxing is good for you Taking the time to rediscover that one myself just now.

Ok I redid it… blahh.. 10 total.. how the heck did I do that?

Agreed that some days would def. be different. But not too much varible. I might take a double nap now and again or relax on occasion though… heh heh

Lol, yea coffee doesn’t count. The idea was that you can’t go above 100, but to be honest its probably weighted to people doing better rather than worse. It was fun to right though for sure.

Part of the charm is that if you asked yourself the same questions every day you’d come up with varying scores. Example, were I to do it again today I’d get 100+ just because of how it worked out.

Like I said I probably didn’t play it right. You said everyone starts with a 100 and can’t go above correct?

3(unless coffee counts),6,8,10,12,14 got me but others saved me lol

It was fun and thought provoking. I enjoyed it. If I’d had taken it earlier in the week I’d probably failed miserably though.
