The 7-day challenge: the easiest way to start
A 7-day challenge is a one-week test of a new habit. It is the easiest way to get a friend to try something with you, because a week feels doable. On DuoShare, start a 7-day challenge, send the link, and both of you check in daily. If it goes well, extend it to 30 or 66 days.
Why start with 7
Big commitments scare people off. One week does not. A 7-day challenge gets the first check-ins done, proves the habit fits your day, and gives you a quick win to share. It also turns a hesitant friend into a willing one.
