I designed a game called Rejection Therapy back in 2009 to encourage myself to get out of my comfort zone more. It was amazingly effective and enlightening (for as long as I did it).

If anyone wants to try it, it's here: http://rejectiontherapy.com

It's not finished, it's very stripped down, but it works.

A tough game to bear, although the more you succeed in the game (i.e. get rejected) the easier it probably gets to continue to do so. Hopefully this doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy when you actually intend to not get rejected at some point, although I suppose you can even it out be getting rejected at something else within that 24-hour period.

Stunningly elegant concept. I wish I'd thought of it. Trying it now.

Your comment made my day pm. Thank you.

No problem.

It works too, which is even better (though I failed to get a rejection yesterday). Once I've thoroughly tested it, I'm going to introduce it to my employees.
