What is 2Weeking?


2Weeking is a project dedicated to challenging yourself and exploring new ways of thinking and living. This site will feature a new challenge every two weeks that will ask you to make a simple change in your life. Although only one challenge will be featured every two weeks, we invite you to complete any of the 2Weeks on your own schedule. If you complete a 2Week you will get a 2Week Badge from our site! Sweet!

The Premise:
Each challenge lasts for only two weeks and will explore different lifestyles from diet to behavior, use of technology to environmental conservation.

Why 2 Weeks:
Two weeks gives an adequate amount of time to internalize these challenges, better understand other ways of life and begin to break harmful habits. After 2 weeks the choice is yours to make the challenge a full on "lifestyle change." But hey, at least you tried it out and got a sweet badge from this site!

2Weeking Philosophy:
As with all self improvement endeavors, it is important to have a supporting community. It is best to 2Week with a close friend or loved one- someone who will support you during the challenge. 2Weeking also provides a forum where you can share your experiences with other 2Weekers.

Start 2Weeking out!

2week #9 Spencer's Review

Controlling your dreams. Talk about the holy grail of imaginary parties and experiences. Initially I really put my all into this 2week. I read the book, did the mental gymnastics and visualized success. Did I get a lucid dream? Sort of. More like half way lucid. Or I might have forgotten. Either way, it was cool to try.

Here are some top (G-rated...) quotations from my dream journal . Please note I wrote these in a sleepy stupor directly after waking up:

  1. "I think there were zombie rats, which we were fighting. But I can't fully remember."
  2. "Dreamed I owned a set of lizards that lived inside a rock wall at my elementary school. Tried to take them out for a Show & Tell. Mommy was very upset with me... had fast multiplying lizards of all sorts - Both looked like hedgehogs."
  3. "Joined a small posse of raiders headed by Bob and Favrell. Had big sticks, had to salute and call each other names."
  4. "Groups of people wanted to extend hands across the desert, a line of people across the desert by holding hands."
  5. "Recurring image of acid politics"
  6. "Teaching in a post-apocalypse, Hedgehogs teaching little kids w/ Kristin - none of them remember anything, kids turn into hedgehogs"
  7. "Getting a comb by being hit by a bus."
  8. "At a scouting conference in a hick-town... then I got to the conference where these thugs start killing people. They get shot and blown up, my left molar is killing me and it's split down the middle, need to see a dentist.
  9. " 'Healthcare' shower had a 'seduce' function. Talked to Gran about going to Kowloon."
From the above few quotations you can already see that hedgehogs are one of my dream signs. I'll continue searching for more as I go on. I'll be keeping my dream journal by my bed far into the future. Hopefully I will begin to actually lucid dream; but re-reading dreams is fun as it is.

In sum, I loved this 2week. On a number of occasions I turned over after waking up and was too lazy to write down my dreams. I could have been better at it, but for the most part I think I deserve a 2week complete!

2Week or too weak?
