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.

2Week #9: Tom's Review

Upon setting out on this 2Week, we knew that the process of training ourselves to lucid dream would last much longer than two weeks. I found myself really getting interested in the subject. The idea of testing one’s own reality and completing memory exercises to practice really appealed to me. My favorite part of this 2Week was the Prospective Memory Training where you memories a list of cues for each day, such as: see a red car, hear the telephone ring, handle money, etc. When you see these things, then you test if you are dreaming. You are basically helping your brain build up its memory for responding to cues you have previously memorized. Truthfully, I never went through a day remembering to test myself at each cue, but I would like to keep this training up for that very reason.

I did well keeping a dream journal and reading the book during the first week. But the second week, I was swamped with work. When you don’t get enough sleep, the amount of dreamtime is severely reduced. My dream journal is embarrassingly sparse. I would like to continue doing this 2Weeks and see where it takes me because I believe it has been very worthwhile.

2Week or 2Weak?
