100 hours in 2006, who's with me?

[abrannan]

So, in the interests of providing motivation for myself, and hopefully some of the rest of you, I've decided to set a goal of at least 100 total hours of DDR in 2006. It's a very modest goal, averaging 20 minutes a day, but the purpose is to get and keep me on the mat throughout the year. I'll also set mini goals of 8 hours per month.


It seemed like such a good idea, I thought I'd share it with the rest of you. In fact, I've decided that anyone who joins me in this goal and succeeds will get something for their effort and dedication. I haven't decided what it will be yet, probably a special rank or graphic here, but I haven't ruled out doing something else.

So keep track of your play-time, and I'll set up a thread for you to post your progress in. It's all honor system, so be fair and try to keep breaks to a minimum during your logged time.


So who's with me?

[Nuggets]

I'm with you ^_^. I may get off to a slow start because of lack of space to play my DDR, but I think I can do 100 hours in this year even without playing Every Single day. It's Dare!

[xstatic]

yay! I'm in. ^_^ Piece of cake!

[psisar]

I'm totally in. Oh snap, does ITG count?

[cornholio]

I can do this. Though, I usually play for about an hour a day, so I'll complete the goal soon if I keep at it.

[Grant.]

Yeah, i'll play too. I think i'm already at like... six hours?

[SSC]

I'll try... although I doubt I'll be doing that before I move into my dorm in August... but I'll try. I've barely been playing DDR and ITG anyway.

Neither had I, which is precisely why I set this goal.


Everyone, please feel free to set your own goals. If 100 hours seems too much, try 50, or 40, or even 24 or 12. If it seems too little, feel free to push it to 150, or higher. I jsut felt that 100 hours was something that I could keep up with given my life and schedule (as it stands, I'll have to review that come July).

...at this point, I'm at 6 hours.

[Starscape]

I'm in. This should help me to get back on track.

I'm in and I've only played for about ! houre so far I got a while yo go but I'll go for it.

[Misery]

Sound good

356 hours would be better >_>

But 100's a cool number too

[legend]

do you mean 365 or are you taking 9 days off

[The Charming Canuck]

I'm on it, I think I played almost 3 hours yesterday. I'll be done in no time If I keep up the way I am.

[DDRMom]

I'm in. This will be a great motivator.
For those of us who are already well into the habit and think this will be a piece of cake (and you know who you are!), think about setting a new personal goal. For me, I'm in it to achieve 100 in 2006, but I also know that at my current pattern of about 8 hours/week I should be done by May. But, I'm really only maintaining my weight and I could stand to lose a bit more poundage, so I may set my personal goal as 100 by April.

Thanks for the great motivator, Abrannan. This will help those weeks when i just want to slack off......

I made a log book that I'm ging to take with me any time I go to the arcade so write my time down right away . It's a good idea.

[sakura]

true very true(i can use that book you said i would never use)!!

also im in!!!!

[banana]

I also think this is a great idea, and am also on board trying to make it to 100 hours in 2006!

[The Charming Canuck]

Yay Me!!! I have already surpassed my own goal of 12 hours, I thought that was alot I have played DDR for 17 hours and 10 minutes this month, If I keep up at the rate I am going I will have 30 hours by the end of the month. I never though I would play so much DDR!!

[banana]

Congrats, Wings!

And whatever happened to Abrannan? No logging for a week now!
