Cornertime: i did more

[sir sam]

This thread has ended. The club is closed. No more contributions can be made. I will write a final report soon. Asher and Auryn are the only 2 members of the "club of 3hrs". Great ladies!!!
They will be honored with one more month in my signature and a dedicated blog-item.

Wow, my compliments for everyone who participated in this thread. Especially towards the end. Three hours is an insanely long time and I have great respect for those whose managed to do it.

And kudos to my owner, who created a great thread and managed to lure a lot of people in.

Asher88 and Auryn are the 2 brave members of the "club of 3 hours" cornertime.
They both did 3 fricking long hours of boring cornertime for me. It is hot they did that and they get honored by this blog.

BRAVO! WELL DONE!!

The "club of 3hours" is the finale of this "i did more" cornertime-thread. The thread started 29-december-2016 and ended 1-august-2017. The last regular contribution was 160 minutes which also is fricking long.

The thread had to end though.
The dare became doable by too few people. It also became difficult to do it alone. For such a long stand someone should be looking after you. The thread could not provide aftercare but for such a long stand that became a real ommission.

So,... the thread is closed,....
But it had a grand finale!

2 ladies can call themselves the proud members of "the club of 3 hours": Asher88 and Auryn.

I realize this has all been closed now so this was more of a challenge for myself. I've been lurking this thread with interest although not had the time to attempt until just now...

My previous best was 1 hour. This time I aimed for the full three hours. I listened to white noise and blindfolded myself and somehow made it. To get through it roughly a third of the time I was just counting, the other third reciting songs in my head and the other third just trying to think of nothing. Proud of myself for getting through it - thanks for the challenge.

Congrats to BenjoAmi. Probably not many people still watching the thread,so I thought I should post instead of just click "thanks."

Doing these long corner time sessions is hard for almost everyone, and certainly to be recognized for all.

I dropped out at about the time I did my last effort for the thread, maybe I even made the decision before I did that! The reason is that we reached a point where people were doing such different things physically, with some reducing it to a mental challenge only, while others i think were disciplined enough to almost ignore the mental and deal only with a physical challenge, that it was no longer a competition or group challenge as it was in the beginning, although it continued to be an individual challenge. Certainly comparisons between one person and another have not been reasonable since maybe the 60 or certainly 90 minute mark.

Thus the thread slowly diverged and the relevance of doing "more" was gradually lost. That is not to reduce the praise for different people who have different skills in coping with the boredom and discomfort - for the real shared challenge IMHO is just that: when you are bored you feel the discomfort more, and when you are uncomfortable you can't just zen out, and when you can't just focus or teleport your mind then you have to cope with the boredom, and the discomfort...and around it goes. Break that chain and you are well on your way to long long times.

AND the greatest thanks for Sir Sam who created this thread. For many months it quietly rolled along, never a monster with thousands of weekly or even daily viewers, but steady and always with an interested group of participants and their fans. Well done!

The names are no longer in my signature. The 3hr blog is still in my blog as sign of respect. This thread is now really fully over.

But... No worries....
There will be a new cornertime challenge starting October-1.
I will announce it in this thread such that those who subscribed to it will not miss it.

[little pet]

This has been such a great thread. Getting people to participate is quite the feat, especially when the times got longer and longer. So big compliments are in order.

Oh and I'm more than a little curious as to what you're planning next...

[MarvHarvey]

Wow! The mystical part of my brain apparently knew sir sam was going to post because I was thinking of this thread last night.

Not only was this a great thread, but I am still amazed at the different ways in which people divided up and handled the different challenges of long long corner time. Interested persons can go and read the reports above - fascinating!

I will be watching for the follow up.

[sir sam]
