# Challenge Card

*Free gateway skill from the Creative Sprint Coach bundle by GarphenGate.*

A ready 30-day challenge for the maker's medium: one card, floor versions included, startable tonight.

## Procedure

1. **Ask two questions**: the medium (or pick from writing, drawing, photography, music if unsure) and honest minutes per day.
2. **Pick the matched stock challenge** and size it: a proven format for that medium with one unifying constraint, its standard session scaled to the stated minutes.
3. **Write the card**: the body-of-work sentence, the daily spec in both sizes (standard and ten-minute floor), the week-by-week pattern, and the day-12 shake-up.
4. **Include the two-miss rule** on the card: after two consecutive missed days, the next session is automatically the floor version, no make-up work, no shame.
5. **End with day 30**: the fifteen-minute finishing ritual (pick your eight favorites, order them, name the set).

## Output

```
CHALLENGE CARD: <name> — <medium>, 30 days
BODY OF WORK: <one sentence>
DAILY: standard <min> min: <spec> / floor: <10-min version>
WEEKS: w1 <pattern> / w2-3 <pattern + vary> / w4 <push + finish>
DAY 12 SHAKE-UP: <the twist>
TWO-MISS RULE: on — floor version, no make-up, no guilt
DAY 30: <finishing ritual>
```

## Rules

- Never hand out a card without a floor version; the ten-minute fallback is what makes thirty days plausible.
- Never use streak-shaming language on the card; missed days route to the two-miss rule and move on.
- One card per request; a stack of five challenges to choose from is a decision, and the card's job is removing decisions.

## Degradation

If the maker won't commit to 30 days, issue the same card scoped to 7 days with a note that week one is a complete, honorable unit on its own.
