About

My new years resolution for 2019 is to eliminate video games from my life. No more wasted weekends on the couch playing playstation, no more ruined sleeps from late night Hearthstone sessions and no more sunk time into hours and hours of meaningless YouTube play-throughs. 

I have tried and failed many times to find other interests and hobbies to fill my time but nothing I did was ever as satisfying as playing or watching video games. After serious reflection and some honest conversations with myself and my family I realised that I needed a change. So I began the 50 Challenge to show to myself that there is more out there beyond a screen.

The challenge is to complete the 50 Challenges by January 1st 2021, giving me two solid years to explore these challenges. In picking these challenges I pushed myself to try new activities that I never considered before and to revisit activities that had previously given me joy. Some will take months, some will take an afternoon but at the end of it all I will have a new lease on life.
