$75 challenge

1. $75 challenge

   #1

   This is a reverse challenge in a sense.
   
   It seems that I am always being corralled and smacked around by Mathom when I try and do stuff. It is so easy to get sidetracked and chase the next shiny thing. Sometimes, well, actually always, I can justify why I don't get things done. I wanted to finish the Cartography Quest last weekend. Instead, I had a few other ideas that I ended up exploring with it which sort of really did need to be fleshed out. The ideas formed the base of the rest so I couldn't really write them without figuring it all out. That was legit for missing my Saturday deadline. However, come Sunday, I found myself organizing pinterest and getting some "must have apps" on my android tab.
   
   So I wasted away Sunday more or less. I should have buckled down and got some done!
   
   I got home from work today and was wasting more time reading the all important facebook, G+ and organizing my updated gmail inbox (it has tabs! ;) whatever). Oh, and my stocks are up 5% and over $600 on my play  investments (bought a bunch of gold mine stock when it hit bottom over the last few weeks and it is rallying) so I watched the streaming quotes for awhile. All said, I did shit!
   
   Doing nothing frustrates me and stresses me out, but sometimes I can't help it. Well, of course I can, but it is so easy being lazy and I enjoy it. Ever since I finally finished school I have been enjoying my new found lack of responsibility...and I have been loving it. Too much perhaps.
   
   Which leads me to the $75 challenge. Basically I am publicly challenging myself to get something done.
   
   So with my time after work, I will finish the Cartographers Guild Quest by Saturday 1200 (Rome time) or I will donate $75 to the quest that will start at the same time as the deadline.
   
   Either way we will start a quest and there will still be a prize.
   
   So there, called myself out. Let's see what happens.

   And now that this has been seen and noted, you have full accountability to do it.

   Consider this challenge officially on record. Good luck! You could always try and find someone to collaberate with if you run low on time :p
