How to Create a Study & Deep Work Challenge
Whether you're learning to code, studying for exams, or building a side project, a deep work challenge helps you maintain focus and track progress. Here's how to set one up.
1
Define Your Learning Goal
Create a challenge with a clear objective. Examples:
- •"Complete React Course" - 180 points over 3 weeks
- •"Daily Deep Work Sprint" - 240 points over 30 days
- •"Side Project Push" - 300 points over 6 weeks
2
Set Up Your Activities
Define focused activities with points based on effort:
- 🎯"90-min Focus Block" - 10 points
- 🗒️"Daily Recap Note" - 4 points
- 🎬"Weekly Demo/Review" - 12 points
Pro Tip: Use time-based activities (25-min, 60-min, 90-min) to align with Pomodoro or deep work techniques!
3
Optional: Add Accountability
Make it multiplayer to compete with a study buddy or accountability partner! This works great for:
- •Bootcamp classmates racing to complete projects
- •Co-workers learning a new skill together
- •Friends building side projects simultaneously
