Best Lifehacker Challenges in 2018

What will happen if you live 7 days on 700 rubles

The most popular video on Lifehacker's YouTube channel over the past year. Our presenter Irina Rogava began to notice that she was wasting a lot of money. Therefore, we came up with an experiment: Ira had to live for a whole week on only 700 rubles. We arranged this test not to feel how awful it is, but to prove that a person can do without the usual spending.

How Orthodox fasting affects health

We did not want to touch upon religious topics, but simply decided to check what happens to a person's health during fasting. Ira adhered to it for a whole month and kept a video diary, where she described her feelings. And at the end of the experiment I even passed the tests. See what happened.

A hell of a week that will change your life

One of the toughest challenges on our channel. The whole week Ira lived in the regime described in the book “On the Limit” by the Norwegian coach Eric Bertrand Larssen. Each of the seven days had its own task. For example, Monday was about habits, Wednesday was about time management, and Sunday was about summing up.

What is it for? Imagine a perfect day: you managed to do all your work, go in for sports, eat right, and even have time left for your favorite hobby. In one week you will see how your life could change if you approached it consciously.

What happens if you get up at 4:30 in the morning

This challenge divided our subscribers into two camps: larks who wanted to join it, and owls who doubted the effectiveness of the venture. In the course of the experiment, Ira found that getting up at 4:30 is difficult, but the benefits outweigh everything.

How Meditation Can Change Your Life

We know that some people have negative associations with meditation. It is firmly entrenched in their consciousness: where there is meditation, there is esotericism with the opening of the chakras, access to the astral plane, refusal of food, water and everything worldly. But this practice is able to solve more mundane problems of an ordinary person. Ira told about this in our experiment. By the way, six months have passed, and she has not stopped practicing.

How to overcome shyness and meet people without problems

During the week, Irina met people in different situations: on a dating site, in a bar, on the street, in a taxi. By her example, she showed that leaving the comfort zone is not at all scary and very useful.
