2013 Brilliant Chaos Creating Challenge


The new year is here, and at this time many people create goals. Perhaps you’ve heard of SMART goals? Well, on Planet Chaos (the home of Brilliant Chaos), SMART goals are sooooo early-2000s. No, on Planet Chaos, we ask ourselves “What CHAOS do we want to create in the coming year?” This is our way of inviting you to develop your own Creating Challenge for 2013.

What exactly do we mean by CHAOS? Well, let us tell you:
C-Creation:
What exactly do you want to love into existence?

H-How:
How will you know you’ve accomplished it? What kind of parameters do you need to complete your creation?

A-Achievable:
Can you realistically complete this creation in the time alloted? What resources do you need to do so?

O-OMG (Oh.My.Geefwidiousness!*):
On a scale from 1 to 10, how geefwidious* is this creation for you?

S-Schedule:
How long do you want to take to achieve this creation? How often do you want to work toward it?

Here, at Brilliant Chaos, we will be creating our own CHAOS around the world. And you know what? We’ll be doing it brilliantly.
 
What constitutes CHAOS? Here are some broad categories:
Project: What does not exist now that you want to have exist by the end of 2013? (Example: book, business, website, painting, building, etc.)

Time: How often do you want to create? For what duration? (Example: one project a day for the first week of the month.)

Learning: What new skills are acquired and/or needed? (Example: mastering watercolor painting or developing your website-building skills.)

A mixture of all of the above.

So, in the coming weeks, consider what kind of CHAOS you’d like to bring to the planet. If you would like, express your commitment to CHAOS as a comment on this post along with any requests for support you’d like. As well, please join our Facebook group here. In that group we will host regular check-ins. As well, each of you may create a separate document (see “Files” tab and then click “+Create Doc”) that can list your individual commitments and requests for ready reference.

*Geefwidious®: A word of Brilliant Chaos’ Chaotish Language®, meaning full of wonder and discovery with a sense of satisfaction.
