Frequently asked questions about the ’15 minute Autumn Loving’ Challenge
When should I do an assignment?
It’s totally up to you when you do the assignment. You receive the e-mail around 6 o’clock in the morning (Amsterdam/Copenhagen time). That makes it possible to pick your own moment. It can be at 6 in the morning, just after breakfast, around lunchtime, before or after dinner. Whatever suits you.
Why is it only 15 minutes a day?
That’s where the magic happens 🙂 We often think that the things that we love to do take up a lot of time. And that makes it difficult to get started. Planning or thinking about doing something that takes a long time, is just difficult. But do something for just 15 minutes, is doable. That’s not forever. That’s just a short while.
Can I do this Challenge with my child(ren)?
Definitely! We’ve had a few challenges that turned out to be great to do with kids. This one is completely kidsproof and a lot of fun to share together. Maybe check the video on Sunday together to figure out if your child(ren) wants to be a part of it or not. Keep it light and fun.
What if I miss a day?
No worries! You can’t miss out on a day. Did you forget it? Just pick it up the next day with the new assignment. If you do like the assignment you missed, you can always do it the next day or in the weekend. It’s totally up to you!
Do I need any equipment or stuff?
In weeks 3 and 4, we’ll get a bit more creative. For week 3 (“Get Creative”), you’ll be given assignments that you can complete with the simplest materials. If I ask you to use a piece of paper, it could also be an empty envelope or a store receipt. I hope you have a pen and scissors, but if not, I’ll help you get creative.
For week 4 (“Time for that Granny Hobby”), you will need something. Keep it nice and simple: visit the thrift store for knitting supplies or a new puzzle, and you can even find puzzle books or other fun, “granny-themed” items at the supermarket. Feel free to email me if you get stuck; I’m happy to help!
