How time flies! Only one month left till the end of the year. Time to evaluate 😊
A few questions:
- How has PACT worked for you?
- Should we continue the tradition?
- Do we need to make some changes?
- Any thoughts about how we can reward ourselves?
I'll start:
1) For me it has been fantastic. I signed up for MOYD because I have a personal history of thinking I'd take a break for a few days, and then to my horror found out I'd quit altogether. This happened to both piano and guitar. PACT worked for me all the way!
2) Because of PACT, I have really spent time at the piano every single day since the day I started (January 5th). Sometimes I wouldn't feel like playing, but thought ok, just five minutes then... and it always became a longer session somehow. So yes, I'd love for the tradition to continue.
3) I know some wished it to be more inclusive such as instead of daily, playing regularly (such as five days a week) should count too, or getting enough sleep to enhance concentration, or any other personal goal. I hope that worked out for you! For me it was simple: spend at least five minutes a day playing piano, so I don't feel any changes are needed to the program... but of course if others do, please voice your thoughts!
4) When we started developing this idea, we really wanted to come up with some reward for all the PACTicipants. PW uses signatures, but I think they would look rather obnoxious in this forum. We discussed the possibility of a forum badge in our user profile, but unfortunately that particular Flarum add-on has been abandoned by the developer. So, unfortunately I don't know how we can reward ourselves, apart from a pat on the back and a "well done". But open for suggestions there too 🎁
Please let me know your thoughts - I know it's early days, but December will probably just fly by and I'd like to be ready for another imPACTful year 😁
