The Change Train
Hi Everyone. As I mentioned in my first post back for the year, in 2012 I’m committed to making me-dot-com a much more practical (as opposed to purely theoretical) and interactive place to hang out. Of course, I can’t do that by myself. If change lives in the doing, then let’s be the group of people that does more over the next twelve months. Together. As a cyber-team. Simple really. Talking is only good to a point. Then it’s just noise. With that in mind, today I’m inviting you to step out of the theory of change and into the practical reality of it. In a small and not-too-terrifying way.
Knowing that some of you are TSC (Total Scaredy Cats) when it comes to new things or any kind of public commitment, I’ve decided to make our initial project a relatively simple one to be part of. For starters, I’m only asking for a seven-day commitment. Too easy. Having previously run twenty-eight day projects (on this site), I’m well aware of the typical drop-off (about eighty percent), so I thought we’d start with baby steps and something not-too daunting.
Secondly, participation in this project only requires fifteen minutes per day. Approximately. That’s a measly one hundred and five minutes out of your 10,080-minute week. Or, a barely-noticeable one(ish) percent of your time.
The Objective of the Project
This project is all about doing something different to create something different. A different result. Mindset. Expectation. It’s about creating momentum. And emotional shift. It’s about opening a new door. Breaking down a barrier. Or two. Stepping out of those familiar and comfortable habits and patterns. It’s about commitment. It’s about finishing something. For once. Turning down the cerebral noise. Learning something new. And, it’s about having an experience that you (otherwise) would not have had. Bottom line; it’s about growth.
Specifically, your growth.
How it Works
For the next seven days (from tomorrow – Tuesday Melbourne time, Monday in the Northern Hemisphere) it’s your job to check in here and I’ll tell you what your daily task will be. It could be a mental, emotional, physical or social challenge. Or, it could be a combination. Because we’re all different (physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, etc.), each task will represent something different to each of us. Your easy could be my hard. My comfortable could be your uncomfortable. And so on. Of course with projects like this, it’s up to you to exercise discretion as to your level of involvement and participation. Don’t do anything that you consider to be potentially dangerous (for yourself or anyone else). Having said that, I can’t see any of the fifteen-minute challenges being particularly terrifying or life-threatening.
Accountability
If you decide to be part of this project, then for the next seven days (from tomorrow) you’re required to report in (via the comment link) once you’ve completed your daily task. This check-in can be as brief or detailed as you like. Your check-in comment might be something as simple and concise as ‘done’ (with your name attached). Or, you might feel compelled to share a thought, idea or experience. You may even want to ask a question.
Group Support
While I’m a big believer in taking personal responsibility for our choices, behaviours and results, I’m also an advocate for like-minded people working together and supporting each other towards positive change. For the next seven days I will not be answering (most of the) questions in the comment section but you will. I know that our group (you, the readers on this site) possess enough collective intelligence, empathy, experience and knowledge to be able to offer sound advice, direction and feedback. So, if somebody needs an answer or some advice and you feel you can help, jump in. If you would like to respond to somebody you can simply hit the ‘reply’ link directly below their comment. Having said that, keep in mind that all we’re doing here is sharing ideas, experience and general advice (not to be confused with a professional consultation or prescription).
Free Stuff
Not that you should need another incentive to get on board but just because I’m awesome 
, each day I’m gonna (randomly) give away free stuff (books, shirts, CD’s) to some of our participants. But wait, there’s more. OMG! Speaking of awesome, my great friends at Everlast Australia have kindly offered to throw seven training packs (one for each day) into the give-away mix (thanks to Adam Ballesty). Each training pack consists of an Everlast training bag, shorts, training top (all from the new range) and a hoodie (like in the pic). Each pack is worth about $250.00 and I’m pretty sure their workout gear is the coolest on earth. As all my friends and colleagues know, I live in Everlast kit.
How to Get Involved
Getting involved is too easy. Just click on the comment link below and let me (us) know you’re on board the Change Train. Toot, toot. By the way, I’m in too. Even though I’m setting the daily challenges, I thought I’d participate also. Only-children hate missing out on stuff y’know? Like you, I’ll be chiming in with my daily report.
Okay, get that goofy look off your face and sign up.

This ‘Doing Project’ could not have arrived at a better time. I just sat down to, once again, get moving on a number of projects for which I want to accomplish major initial tasks by January 31st. Thank you, Nancy, for linking me up with this project. You know one of these projects involves YOU TOO. So, cheers to both of us getting back on track with our little biz which could grow very quickly lead to our professional success. And, Jami, if you sign up with this ‘Doing Project’, good luck to us on our separate new biz. All four of my new biz ideas have January 31st dates!! Woohoo!!!! Good luck everyone!!!

Ok….I read something of yours not all that long ago which said not to try and change 50 million things all at the same time (which I seriously need to do), so here I am to throw my hat in as well. 7 days for 15 minutes can’t hurt right? I’m willing to give it a crack!
Yes, I’m in
Alright. I’m in.
I’m scared but I’m in!… Likewise I am a long-time reader (first time poster!) and long-time seeker of change (over thinking about it and feeling the unneccesary emotion ‘guilt’ for not trying to change!).
Alright let’s give it a go – I’m in!

Yay for trying new things every day.. Can’t wait.
What’s one more thing to start for 2012… I know I need to focus on the important things, but this could be the most important one (aren’t they all potentially) My family will forgive me I’m sure, and its only another 15 minutes!!

Hi Craig,
Being an avid reader on the sidelines for the past several months now (okay…lurker!), I have to admit I hadn’t anticipated being anything other than that!
Don’t get me wrong…I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts and take a lot from them…I just didn’t have anything to say (hmm or in all honesty perhaps suffered from a little stage fright!)
That all changed when I read your latest post and I had a decision to make. I could keep on keeping on (and expect a different outcome – D’oh!) or I could take a deep breath in, hold my nose, close my eyes and jump straight into this doing project you’ve created, knowing that at the very least I can always tread water if the going get’s too tough!
A risk yes…though in the scheme of things…a calculated one at best and probably no where near as big a deal as I am imagining it to be!
I must also admit the lure of a training pack from Everlast Australia was certainly a nice carrot!
As the saying goes, ‘Nothing ventured, nothing gained!’ What have I got to loose? Apart from another level of comfort that is!
So I guess what I’m saying is…I’m in! I’m 100% in and now that I have publicly declared this to be true, there’s no turning back!
Thanks for the opportunity to create some more positive change in my life.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Lyndal

Just started my own challenge today so why not add another. I signed up to do the run leg (5km) in a local triathlon with a team from work, it is 9 weeks away so plenty of time to train for it, did my first run this morning (only 2.5km) and very slow and steady but I made it without having to stop and walk. Its a start anyway. Feeling pretty chuffed son bring on the challenge.

Wow. People love free stuff.
Three days ago I start “doing” a major change. I’ll jump on board and make the most of the momentum on offer.
I am sooo in. Up for some new challenges and the accountability part doesnt hurt either ….
I’m in – as you say, if nothing changes nothing changes.
15 mins a day is nothing.
I’m in!
7 days I can manage, surely?
Count me in.
Best time to start a challenge – i’m in!
I am in.
Very much looking forward to it!
I’ve already started, but my challenge for the week is to study Japanese (actively!) for at least an hour a day. I’m already on two days counting today and going strong, but it’s usually around the 3rd or 4th day I get a bit flexible on what “studying” means so the timing is perfect. I’m in! (included in the “study” bit is also “getting up early” which is the main problem when it comes to this challenge. XD
I’m in and ready to help anyone else trying to change too! d(^_^o)
Ok … you had me at ‘test comment’.
Im in too.. Away this weekend but will check in. Let’s do this
Looking forward to it!
Pick Me! Im game to do this challenge…..Well I think I am
Just do it right?! =) I’m in!!!

Count me in!
Yes, please – Gee Craig, you’ve got lots of people on your ‘team’!!
I’m interested to see how many names will be left at the end of the 7 days. Plus it gives me good reason to procrastinate (I mean learn something new) for 15 minutes each day
Yep – I’m in!

I’ll be on baord.
Count me in!
I’m not in but I will be reading the progress of those on here especially Brenda (don’t worry I remember you Brenda we clashed on here in the past 3 years
) ). It is a good idea, but I just want to say this if that’s ok. The bandwagon, I am not talking drink. But, we fall off. We may have pizza instead of salad etc. But my goal will be to stop beating myself up mentally for things and others’ actions and being a pleaser that is challenging. Good luck all.
Definitely in…woohoo!!!
I’m in
Yes. Will do.
I’m in!
I’ve got my hand up too. I’m an awesomist
Suu xxoo
Sounds like fun….

Hi I’m in too. I’ll do the single step at home in 5 minute increments throughout today. I’ll let you know when I have completed the three lots.
Awesome! I’ll do it!
I’m in, late reply I know but only just read email.
Stairs will be done today.
I am soooo in! I have vicarious been reading your posts forwarded by a friend Liss. I am my own person now and subscribed to receiving them. I have done my 30 mins at the gym and totally accept the challenge for another 15 mins on the stair. Today is my day to make me better. Gotta love me….
Okay, you’ve talked me into it.
Count me in!! And the first challenge works for me – I’m up to 15 minutes of running in my couch to 5k program. And yes I am one of your lurking TSC’s – first post ever (but have been following for quite some time).
I’m in.
Hi,

Cass

Count me in
Tracey

I’m in too – day 1 challenge in the schedule for the day
Craigo….fair dinkum I do not have access to any steps….well not quite true the olds have two leading in to their house….anyway long story short I substituted……15min run on the beach in soft sand!!!
I’m in
Chloe
I’m in!
Ok I’m in
Amanda
did my 15 minutes, whats in store tomorrow?????
Doneski – day one done and dusted!
I’m in baby!!
35 degree melb stair run DONE!
a 15 min jog…..done!!!!:D
Went for a walk today, not quite the stairs I know, but got me off my backside…
I’m in.
Count me in too! Off to do my 15 mins right now!
I did 15 minutes on an incline of 15 on my treadmill. Yay! AND my studio is on the second story of our showroom and I climbed those stairs at least 25 times!
0 I did 15 minutes running up and down the steep staircase in the double storey building i work in. Went in and did it early. What a buzz thinking of the possibility of many others doing the exact same thing as me all over the world is awesome. Giddyup and bring on tomorrow
Yes. and done the stairs!
Done
I’m in!
In!!! .. & possibly bring a few to the fun too!!!
Done. Thought long and hard about making a change in my life. Continuously doing the same thing disturbingly has the same result! What am I doing? Why? Is it the best use of my time? I must focus, I have a big year this year, I must perform. I WILL PERFORM!
I am so in!!
I’m in
Saw this a bit late, but I’m game. Thanks.
Thankyou so much for giving me permission to do NOTHING for 15 mins. As a busy mum this is such a luxury.
I would also like to take my life into my own hands and join this mad band of happy warriors. The timing could not have been much better as my BIRTHDAY is on this Wednesday — California time.
A day late to sign up, but I started last night with the steps. Brilliant idea Craig!!
Did the steps in my two storey un airconditioned house yesterday . Day 1 done . Yeah
better late than never!
on board the doing project & day 1 done!
Bit behind on my email…supose that means I have double the challenegs!
I am In!!
Alright – let’s do this!
I know change is inevitable but I want to force the issue here and embrace it : )
Just realised I am late but happened to do an hour of vigorious training last night anyway! yay! The 15 minutes silence will actually be a bit harder for me!
Day 2 done and dusted, much harder than I thought to try to clear your mind and just “be!”
Like it, on NewYears day, I said 2012 is a do and done year, so step 1 of signing up DONE! Best of luck everyone
Part 1, completed. Waiting for #2!
I’m behind, but it’s never too late.
BTW- I do your stair’s workout since you mentioned about it last year. Do you remember? 
Better late than never??!!??
Hi Craig.! I’m definitely in
I think this will be amazing 
ready for a change.!!!!!
I’m a few days behind – having just read this, but I’m sure I will catch up – always love a challenge, and challenging I am. I’m in too!
I’m in
Done…..day 1 forgot to report in yesterday!
Sorry for the delay guys net was trippin but am in too.
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm zzzzzzzzzzzxzzzzzzzz xx
Love my quiet time. Thankyou
I’m in
here’s to a new year 2012!
Working through emails from being away – I am in – will dedicate time now to catch up. Cheers and thanks for inspiration. Change and challenge share the same letters.
I was too lazy to read all my emails and only just read about the challenge. I will play catch up and get my arse into gear!
I’m in if I am allowed to play catch up. Just found out about this.
yes
Enjoying your style of writing Harps…thinking about trying naked at the gym…lol!
I’m late, but I’m in – will catch up now
I’m in
Have also been absent from emails so will start right now – still four challenges to go.
I’m in!!!
Had a shocking headache today, must be all that water and no coffee. Where did you say you hang out for coffee Craig? Could do with a massage!! The walk was good though, nice day for it here, not too hot.
Can you join & catch up? If so, I’d love to!
A bit late noticing this.But I want to give this a go!
Hi Craig Wow I didn’t reailIse just how long 15 minutes could be !!!! First the hill/stairs then the do nothing then the jog / run. Now a day on water! It seems to me at my age 62 ( 63 next month ) that I have been wasting a lot of my time on thinking that I was doing more in all areas of my life. Thanks Craig for the inspiration it has taught me a lot especially cerebrally .To sit peacefully in my car in a wood and think of nothing then being blessed by seeing a beautiful pheasant and a squirrel feeding oblivious to my presence will live with me forever.(Dear diary must clear 15 minutes to do and think of nothing). Craig you rock
G’day Craig and co-traveller’s,
Well, i’m kicking the booze out the door and to the curb at last. Sure has been a battle and a hinderance for me being my best, so taking action. Attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting today. A bit scary for me, but i think it will be a growth experience, and a useful one. Then i’m going for a run.
Best wishes all, Greg.
Hells yeah im in!
Didn’t think much of caffeine free day. Do you have ANY idea how bad a caffeine withdrawal headache can be? SNNNAAARRRLL!!! Last time it took 4 days to clear…4 DAYS! So, onto my more recent (and infinitely MORE SUCCESSFUL) days. Okay, random act of kindness was training new Bronze Medallion candidates at a local surf club, and procrastination, well, I cleaned out the garage, so there you go, did it, and DONE! Now I have somewhere to park the car. YEEHA Thanks Harps!
I stopped “The Doing Project” after Day 3. I realised that I didn’t need/want someone telling me how to live my life, I am happy with the challenges I give myself, how I eat, I am always nice – well, almost always – lol. I know I have few things to “fix” but I am slowly getting there. So not sure how you would view it, I wasn’t even going to post anything more but thought you may like feedback anyway as your Daily Project really worked for me but in a different way! Keep up your great work, I will still be there reading your blogs for inspiration.
i am too late for this?
I’m in.
Me too.
