I need your help now

​

Let me explain. As a member of The 14:24 Club, you are well aware of the Now-Next issue. One of the fundamental intentions of this site is to give you the tools to address that issue. However, we've got a catch-22. Even though your Next may recognize the value of resolving the Now-Next issues for yourself by doing 14:24 each day, your Now may not always be on board and eager to get into 14:24 each day, right?! As Matthew 26:41 says, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

​

Getting the flesh to support the spirit

​

With apologies to Matthew, the "flesh" is very strong. Matthew is only calling the flesh weak because the "spirit" has not taken the time to figure out how the flesh could be happy in the process of supporting what the spirit wants and consequently the flesh rebels against the spirit. Therefore, if the spirit wants to get what it wants, then we need to find ways that our flesh is happy to support the process that will likely create what our spirit wants.

​

Enter the book, "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" by Nir Eyal. Yes, I need to pay attention to the power and effectiveness of the ideas and tools presented in AskDwightHow. I will continue to do that. However, for me the current bottleneck in having these tools become a part of your everyday life is to make my site more "habit forming," which is to make it more attractive to your Now, not just your Next.

​

What would your Now look forward to?

​

I was doing some brainstorming with my friend Riki Wang and member of The 14:24 Club. Based upon observing her own "addictive" behavior with the Internet, she made some suggestions. I took her suggestions and created the prototype page above. 

​

Explaining the prototype and the idea behind it...then my questions for you...

​

A page like this would be the new home page for this site. For now, I'll call it the "Mystery Page." The above example only has eight links. The above prototype was "hand made." Once automated, assuming it can be, the new home page would contain 20 new surprise links each time you access it, as well as a refresh option at the end. Each time you link to AskDwightHow you will be surprised by your luck in discovering some new gems found behind some of the moving pictures on this Mystery Page. Each day the first one or two links will be ones that I have currently written or revised.
