March Challenge: World Book Day
Mar. 30th, 2025 07:56 amThe Rebel Badge Club has monthly challenges, which are fun because everyone's working on them at the same time and so you can get plenty of ideas. The challenges don't all interest me, but March's Challenge for World Book Day sounded fun. It's not all about reading but touches on all kinds of aspects of books, which is fun.
There are 28 requirements of which at least six must be completed.
The first thing I learned is that I tend to lose motivation between when I learn about a new challenge and when I'm officially allowed to start it. I appreciate the lead time for planning, but in reality, instead of waiting a few days, I wait a couple of weeks, and then it feels like stress. In the future I'll start whenever I feel like, though I won't post anything until the first day.
Even with only 6 things required, I didn't finish by the end of the month, having done only 5. That's okay; the mantra around there is how badges are self-assessed, so you can do them however you like. And it's all about fun and personal growth, and there's more of that to be squeezed out of this challenge, so I'll keep going. But I'm posting now so I can link from the group's page during the proper month.
I'd already done many of the requirements in the past. Those aren't supposed to count. But there are also plenty of requirements for things I've never done. And there's room to do old things in new ways. And of course any excuse for more charity, even if it's just repeating something that's been done in the past, is good. It's the last day today, so I'll post now, but I plan to do a few extra things as well.
Here are my notes (crazy long, so behind a cut).
