For one day, exchange roles with a friend. This means doing their job, following their daily routine, and interacting with their friends and family, if possible. It's a way to experience life from another person’s perspective.

Steps:

Choosing a Partner (1-2 Days Before)

Select a willing friend who agrees to swap lives with you. Make sure both are comfortable with the extent of the swap.

Planning (1 Day Before)

Share detailed information about your daily routines, job responsibilities, and social interactions. Plan the day thoroughly.

Life Swap (Challenge Day)

Spend the day living your friend’s life. Follow their routine as closely as possible, from their job to their social habits.

Regular Check-Ins

Throughout the day, check in with each other to share experiences, ask questions, and offer guidance.

Reflection (Day After)

Meet to discuss the experience. Share insights, surprises, and lessons learned.

Opportunity costs:

Comfort Zone: Stepping into someone else's life can be uncomfortable and challenging.

Privacy and Trust: This challenge requires a high level of trust and respect for privacy between both parties.

Responsibility Risks: Performing someone else’s job or duties might pose risks if not done correctly.
