The first thing I’d like to do is give you a survey. It won’t take too long, just honestly fill out the answers. In one week, I’ll reveal the entirely anonymous results of the survey in a short report explaining its significance to the Omega Effect. And again, please please please fill out the survey honestly, even if you think it’ll make you look bad; I promise, no one will know it’s you.
I want everyone to try to do this during the same time of day, but not necessarily on the same day. Try your best to do this as close to the recommended time (8:00am – 8:00pm) as you can. This survey will display results from a 12 hour period of time.
Your best plan may be to print out a copy of the survey, and follow it throughout the day.
E-mail your results to the.omega.effect@gmail.com, and I will let you know some possibly surprising results based on the survey. And really, I will honestly be the only one who knows who you are.
The last surveys to be accepted will be those sent to me this upcoming Saturday evening (I'm EST). Any others after that won't count in the result, but I'll still e-mail you your compared results.
