Let's give it a shot!

To tell the truth, I don't really like Matt Cutt's idea. I consider it to be unrealistic and not very helpful. There are several reasons, why I think so.
First of all, I don't know anybody who can feel himself to be stuck in a rut in our modern everyday life, which is very unpredictable and changeable.
The next reason is that I can't imagine how anyone nowadays can spend 30 days the way he wants. Because, usually it's difficult even to ask for vacation at work once a year. Not to mention 30 days, any time you're upset and want to get 30 days holiday.
And the last reason is that I personally think it's better to to consentrate on one sphere or interest in your life, and then try to improve your skills and abilities in it. That's why, the idea of daily changing hobby, seems weird for me.
In conclusion, I really like the way of speaking and presenting. However, I can't understand Matt Cutt's idea and can't imagine how to implement it in our life.

As for me, i can't fully agree with Matt Cutt's idea for the following reasons. our life today consists of many responsibilities at work, at school, at home and so on. sometimes we don't have time for such simple things as reading a book, taking a walk etc. i mean there's too little time for us nowadays to take up challenges like this.

I also suppose that Matt's challenge has a lot in common with planning your day thus i can hardly call it a "challenge". to be honest the idea is good but it can be put into practice only by the people who have much free time

Interesting ideas
by: Nicole (Oyster English)

Your ideas are interesting. I agree there are some things that could be unrealistic to do every day for 30 days. However many other things can easily be done daily. For example, starting a habit to meditate for 10 minutes a day or eating a piece of fruit a day. I like the way you developed your essay. Best wishes!
