14 Day Restart - Resetting My Life
A part of the MISSION | IN ORDER TO GROW, I’m redoing the 14-day restart to refocus purely on the basics of life. Starting Monday 10th August 2026. Activities that do nothing more than give me a better foundation to work from. The tasks within this challenge are simple. However, I admit they are often neglected, as I’m placing very little energy on anything that isn’t work. Self-improvement is a skill like any other. Progress means I need to change, but this cannot happen if the fundamentals are weak, so it's time to rebuild them and start again.
The two main objectives I am working on to improve within the 14-day challenge are discipline and health. According to The Irish Times, “ The easier you make it to complete each step of the goal, the more likely it is that you will eventually achieve it ”. Therefore, to make everything more defined and measurable, the two main goals have been cut down into ten smaller tasks.
Priority One - Discipline
Task 1 - Master your routine
Task 2 - Prepare for everyday life and the unexpected
Task 3 - Hold yourself accountable
Task 4 - Track income, hours worked and spending habits
Task 5 - Fill procrastination with better activities
Priority Two - Health
Task 1 - Take pride in your appearance
Task 2 - Exercise weekly
Task 3 - Eat three meals
Task 4 - Cut out junk food
Task 5 - Hydrate every day
The challenge will bring positive changes to my life. For example, it will improve my focus and productivity, helping me be more efficient in my daily tasks. I'll form better habits that support a healthier and more disciplined lifestyle. Enhanced self-control will allow me to make better decisions and resist unhealthy temptations.
Better health is another key benefit, as I will prioritise physical activity and nutrition. Improved time and money management will help me use my resources more efficiently, reducing stress and increasing my financial stability. Ultimately, this challenge aims to stimulate personal improvement, helping me build a better self and achieve my current goals.
