I run Species, a YouTube channel making high-effort documentaries about AI risk. Scripts are my biggest bottleneck, so I'm committing to 2 hours of writing every day, Nov 6 to Dec 6, tracked in Rize.io.
Appreciate you betting even a token amount for extra social pressure :)
Resolves YES if I log 2+ hours of writing every day.
Resolves NO if any day falls short. No make-up days.
What counts: drafting, rewriting or outlining Species scripts.
What doesn't count: research, editing, meetings, admin.
The only exception is that I've been dealing with chronic nausea, which sank my last challenges. I rate it daily on a 1–4 scale, where 4 means I'm incapacitated and can't work. If it hits a 4, I can skip that day and will note it in the comments.
My soft goal is writing 4 scripts this month, about 1 a week. This doesn't affect resolution.
Context: This is my sixth long challenge, and I've succeeded at 2 out of 5 so far: one nonfiction book a day for a year, and a year without alcohol.
