September challenge: 3-Hour Art Focus Inspired by book: Four Thousand Weeks

Details

This September, we’re slowing down — together. 🌿

Join a unique and powerful challenge inspired by the bestselling book Four Thousand Weeks and a transformative exercise shared by Harvard art historian Jennifer Roberts:

> “Choose one painting or sculpture — and observe it for three uninterrupted hours.”

That’s it. No scrolling. No coffee. Just you and the artwork.

🌱 How It Works:

  1. Visit a local museum or gallery.
  2. Pick one artwork — a painting or sculpture that captures your attention.
  3. Stay with it. Observe for three hours. Alone, or with a presence partner.
  4. No distractions. No phones. Just mindful attention.
  5. In your own chosen time during September.

This practice isn't just about appreciating art — it's a bold act of

  • training patience.
  • slowing down in a world that rushes everything.
  • learning to find meaning in the moment, not just in the outcome.

🧠 Share & Reflect:
Once complete, reflect on what shifted in your mind, body, and spirit. Then:

  • 📷 Share your story or a photo on Instagram and tag us #nocrastinationclub
  • ✨ Join us at upcoming online or in-person reflection sessions to deepen your insight
