Dilettante Spring - April Challenge

Sixty days of doing things for the love of them. A dilettante is someone who pursues many things out of genuine interest — before expertise, before productivity, before performance. This is a challenge to live like one for 60 days. Starting April 1, one challenge releases each day. Some take 15 minutes. Some take an hour. All of them ask you to go do something real: walk somewhere new, read something physical, make something with your hands, have a conversation that goes somewhere, sit with yourself long enough to notice what you actually think. Each day has three parts. Something to do. Something to write by hand. Something to share — on Instagram, TikTok, or in the Hot Literati community. Every tenth day is an anchor day: a bigger moment to share something more substantial. Day 30 is the halfway point. Day 60 is the finale. This is not a productivity challenge. There are no habits to track, no goals to hit, no optimization involved. The only metric is whether you did the thing. What you need: a journal, a pen, a phone with a camera. April 1 – May 30. Sixty days. Starts today.
