1000 Words or Less

Could you live your life with a 1000 word daily limit? Verbal and Text? What would that "look" like? What would that "feel" like? Less conflict? More meaningful connections? You'd have to think consciously about your words and the conversations you'd engage.

At work - fewer more productive meetings?

At home - more meaningful conversations? Less verbal fights? Quite teenage rebellion... (smiling sigh).

We talk too much, with little substance. Too much time is wasted on words - not enough silence...and our favorite topic...ourselves.

60% face to face...80% social media.

Silence is a greatly underestimated source of power. In silence, we can "hear" not only what is being said, but also, not said. Truth is reached in silence.

Well, I'll stop here. I've already said too much (127 words).

The Challenge:

You will be given a tree with 1000 leaves. For each word spoken, you will remove a leaf. At the end of your journey, if any leaves remain...you have won the challenge! 

Your Goal:

Speak less

Enjoy each other's presences.
