Reclaim Your FOCUS

Donate $20 to Samaritans

[THE CHALLENGE]

Live without the spotlight & reclaim your FOCUS.

[THE FORFEIT]

Donate $20 to Samaritans.

[THE RULES]

No sharing any personal story, anecdote, or opinion about your own life during conversations.

Count to two in your head when the other person finishes speaking before you open your mouth.
Memorize your default pivot phrase like 'Tell me more about how that happened' to deploy immediately after answering a direct question.
Treat every conversation like a live broadcast interview where you are the host and they are the only guest.

What Changes

You will expose how often you listen just to find an opening to speak about yourself.
You will learn more about your social circle in seven days than you did in the last three years.
You will break the habit of conversational hijacking.

Why It Works · Sociology

COMMIT

Every Sunday, a new challenge drops. Commit to living without that modern convenience for a week.
