Welcome ollei
by the way im going to sleep now total rc count today little over 50
I love this game. It's been too long since we had one of these going. We are doing it where we have to RC every time we see the sign? Not just the first time? I'm on it :D
Yep, every time you come across it to build up your prospective memory :D And also if you remember old tasks :DQuote:

Thanks and yikes!Quote:

Today was intense. So many times I missed a task and only remembered to RC after the fact, when music had already been playing for a little bit. I also remembered a ton of times even when there wasn't any music playing... so, getting there. How have you all been doing???
Hmm, I wish I did more RC's than I've done the last few days. I've been in kind of a daze because of sleep deprivation. Trying to fix that, so hopefully my awareness will improve.
Now for cups!
I did great yesterday. :) That morning, I was RCing every time a commercial cam on TV (the background music was louder to me.). While I was listening to my iPod in the afternoon, I RC'ed every time a new song came on. :)
Hmm....cups. This should be fun. :D
I'm still on the music one cause there wasn't a new one when my day started, damn time zones. But it has been going great I seem more attentive to my surroundings and more focused :)
One question though: if I think of a song or a song is playing in my head, should I then RC? That could be a little tricky.
I think I succeeded yesterday. I had a hard time at places, like the gym, where the music was continually playing. I was listening to an audiobook on headphones, but every so often I would notice the ambient music and have to RC. I must have looked like a crazy person. Now that I think about it, I was wearing a DV T-shirt, too. I'm such a nerd. I was most proud of myself when I remembered to RC while in line at the burrito shop picking up lunch. It was also hard while listening to talk radio. They play that damn commercial intro/exit music.
You should RC every time you think about the concept of these things, not just when you 'physically' experience them. In dreams, a lot of times the concept of something will be present, but not the thing itself. They're weird and seem to work that way. So whenever you find yourself thinking of a song, a beat, a melody, the notion that people listen to a thing while dancing, etc. you should RC :)Quote:

ive been working on this but i always catch the things like cups after they happen =( another possible thing you could do is...
Rc when you walk through a doorway.
I forgot where i read this but its been a pretty easy one to remember.
problem with that is that its way too annoying and difficult becouse you have to rc every time you go throught a door way and if you have to run between rooms (example in work) so you just cant rc every time
It can get annoying when you have to RC a lot at one time. I found myself worrying about that with the music one, whether I should do it less or more (or drive myself crazy, hah).
I kind of sucked with the cups one. I only drink when I eat, and I usually only eat supper so I only see a bottle or canned drink at supper. Or if I have a cup of coffee. I don't even think of them as cups then, so it's hard to pay attention to them. Agh, will try harder next time.
I have been good with remembering to RC whenever I run into 'blue eyes' though. :O
Oh, and I RC every time I go into my bathroom because I recall five dreams where I went into my/a bathroom, so I thought I'd try it.
My god the days are flying by... :shock:
Today's task: Become aware every time you see or think of ILLUSTRATIONS. Doodles, diagrams, book illustrations, cartoons, cereal box creatures, signs, etc! Reality check first and foremost. Make an effort to become very aware of your settings. Imagine you have just become lucid, and make sure to 'stabilize'. At the end of the day before bed, recount every instance you witnessed the event.
The cup thing seemed like a huge complete failure to me :( Sorry if that's how it was for everyone else, too :(
it was not a complete failure i mean idea was great but you just dont see that meny cups every day
:O ... Oh! that would be intense.Quote:

Today is going to be hard. All I do is draw pictures all day. This is going to have to be a constant awareness day.
A couple of days after seeing no birds whatsoever during the bird task, today I keep seeing these enormous flocks of about 50 robins :shock: wth? That's unheard of!
This illustration task is INTENSE! I thought music was bad... you can't go ANYWHERE without seeing some sort of diagram, symbol, whatever! :boogie:
RB, maybe try ignoring your own illustrations for the day and just focusing on ones that don't belong to you?
I also think my memory is getting better :D I had to remember to print something after class, before I left the building, and I was like "every time I see my phone, I'm going to remember that I need to print the paper!" sure enough, soon as I went to get it to turn it off of silent mode I was like "PRINTER!!!!!"
Cool! I have...*counts* 9 illustration sites open. The problem is, I haven't looked at them in a while because I've been reading. Mm, maybe every time I see one of the tabs or think "man, I should be looking at those illust sites"...
And of course every time I see one of my doodles on my notes...and stuff. :P
P.S: Lol, Shift. Bad luck, that!
Alright so I've been doing pretty good with the music one. I can't help to RC when I hear music now...even if the task is over with.
I failed at the cups unfortunately. First time I thought about it was like at night after I drank a cup of coffee. I finished it and put the cup in the dish washer...as I walked back towards my room I remembered, and pretty much RC'd quickly anyway.
Illustrations are working out pretty well so far! I have a world map on my wall right above my monitor, so every time I look up...it's RC time! I already did it a bunch of times in the house too, and while picking up the mail earlier.
Good stuff. Keep it up guys. :)
Yay, good job :) I hope you caught that illustration in Keitorin's signature, too!!! :DQuote:

Surprisingly, the only illustrations I saw today were in a Literature book. For the rest of the day I had to remember on my own. :(
Illustrations was not as good as music I think, I've been locked up in my room all day studying literature, I saw some of my own illustrations but then not much more. I can't criticize it though I love this collective initiative and I must say it has been must useful, I RC more than I used to. Knowing that I share this task with a bunch of people is really useful!
I just need to work on recall as I've been slacking off with the DJ, I've been under a lot off stress due to school, any tips on how I can be more motivated to DJ?
good luck to everyone!
I agree! If I was doing this on my own, I wouldn't be as productive. It's nice to imagine everyone else working on it too.Quote:
