"To prove myself I can!" -Fearkiller

[Fearkiller]

Starting officially 7th of January, but will dabble in this the first week of 2013

to get the feel of the goals.

Fearkiller, level 2 Human Adventurer

Str:2.25 Dex:2.25 Sta:2 Con:1.25 Cha: 3.25 Wis: 7

---------------

First year BBA-student, sleepwalking through life, not knowing what he wants to do with his life...

Wasting his time waiting for something to magically appear. Slowly waking up: "What have I done

to really be worth looking up on? To have really mattered to me?

... Hmm. ... Yeah... Well, better get to it then!"

---------

I'm going to assume here I can have more than one life goal

---------

Life goals:

Fearkilling: Find and do things that scare me. +1 WIS for every success (Max. gain of 5 points

out of the whole challenge)

What I've come up this far for the list:

If I happen to swear aloud:

Do 5 Push-Ups. As long as it won't dirty my clothes or I'm not in a queque where it'd hinder others.

Lay down into the ground for 10 seconds and get up like nothing happened (thank you, Tim Ferriss)

Say a genuine compliment to a stranger (from the NF article: How to be awesome at approaching people)

---

Strike up a conversation with someone I don't know (has to be done 5 times to get +1 WIS)

---

Arrange meetings with anyone willing to practice speaking English.

Friends+fellow students the main group

---------

---------

Working out: Two workouts/week with proper warm-up and streching too and an extra streching session had to drop something off.

The plan is the same from the previous challenge.

Will repost it later.

+1 Str, +1 Dex, +1 Con, +1 Cha

---------

---------

Diet clean up:

Stop drinking coffee. Got this done 1.1-6.1.2013 (outside of challenge, no stats.)

Vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds (or any combination) for a total of one pound twice a week

Note: not necessarily the same days as working out, but preferred

Drink half a liter a full liter of water/day.

(Might be bititing more than I can chew)

+1 Cha, +1 Con

---------

---------

Sleep more: Go to sleep regularly at 22.00 and get up at 06.00.

If done before the end of challenge, go to sleep at 21.30, up at 06.00.

+1 Wis, +1 Con, +2 Cha

---------------

---------------

Side Quests (not as important as the goals itself but still must get done)

- Implement the tips from the article "How to become a productivity ninja" here on NF

- To get my signature done Nearly, I haven't found a good enough quote to be worthy of the place.

- Help other rebels more on the forums How: pick 2-4 threads to follow regularly.

- Deliver personally flowers for the curator who helped me through problems I had in high school

---------------

Will fleshen these out when I have time, not sleep deprived

(see why I have the goal ) and have a proper keyboard

For courage in the timid world! -Fearkiller

You've got an awful lot of goals to focus on, which is why the challenges now only allow 4 goals.  Your goals need to be measurable; for example your "fear killer" goal-what constitutes success?  1 point a day?  1 point a week? 10 points for the entire challenge?  I think this is your first challenge, so I suggest that you narrow down to the following:

Workouts - 2 workouts/week

Diet cleanup - plan of what is/isn't allowed.

Sleep more -

and finally the Productivity Ninja for your life goal. 

If you need any help, let me know. 

[Gobnait]

Fearkiller's been around at least as long as I have.

 

Your goals to need to be tightened up.  As a college student, I'd advise you against saying no coffee.  I do think that weaning yourself to not having headaches when you do go without is about perfect.  Basically only drink it when you need a boost.

[Fearkiller]

Thank you for feedback! Yay, a chance to improve!

But I need all of them. It's just they didn't fit into the challenge -yeah, overachiever I know...

Many of them just are rather minor individually, so I bundled them up to add up difficulty.

And I got rid of the coffee during 1.1-6.1.2012, so it won't be a concern anymore.

I decided to get 100% out of it because I've tried this before, managed it quite well

and then fallen after month or two. "One cup won't hurt. What's wrong with two...

I'll drink it just this week..."

I could get rid of the extra streching session, though. Freeing some time for the productivity ninja.

I don't know how long it'll take for the sleeping goal to stick, as I haven't really tried it ever before.

Might be three weeks, might be two challenges...

Needed to have the productivity goal, so I made it a side quest. I will achieve it all the same,

it just doesn't get points for me.

You do have a lot of goals, but some of them seem to be examples of bigger goals - like talking to a stranger and laying on the ground are part of doing things you're afraid of?  It sounds like you're trying to build your confidence, so maybe set that as a goal and then a list of things you can do daily to achieve that goal?

 

Maybe something like...(And yes, I'm an absolute organizational nerd):

 

 

Fearkilling: Find and do one thing that scares me per day. +1 for every success

 

Examples:

• Deliver personally flowers for the curator that helped me through problems I had in high school
• If I swear, do 5 Push-Ups. As long as it won't dirty my clothes or I'm not in a queque where it'd hinder others.
• Lay down into the ground for 10 seconds and get up like nothing happened (thank you, Tim Ferriss)
• Say a genuine compliment to a stranger (from the NF article: How to be awesome at approaching people)
• Strike up a conversation with someone I don't know (has to be done 5 times to get one WIS)
• Practice speaking English with someone

   

Clean Up Diet:  Drink 1 liter of water/day and eat 4 servings of vegetables daily and at least 20g of protein.

Working out: Two workouts/week with one extra streching session

 

[Fearkiller]

I did a workout today, posting the details later. Streching is still pending, but will get to it this evening.

Yes, the Fearkilling is one goal including all the stuff under it until Working out.

Added some things from your organizations, planning on taking some more. Thank you!

Now I must hurry, going to buy some chicken and sunflower seeds.

The workout:

Warm up:

2x100 jumping jacks, 2x10 no-push-ups burpees

Exercises:

Three circuits of 1x nearly-a-chin-up, 45 second plank and 3x10 ten-second slow ducks.

Streching:

2x45 second strech for legs, 2x25 second for Abs and Back

Protein: 200g of chicken = 38g of protein

No vegetables, fruits, seeds or nuts -going to buy tomorrow or Friday.

Push-ups for swearing: three times, not in a crowded place.

[Fearkiller]

10.1

Water: 0.6 L

Protein: 200g of chicken = 38g protein

11.1

Water: 0.35 L

Protein: (22.8+3.2=26g) 100g sunflower seeds = 22.8g of protein

+ 100g yoghurt = 3.2g of protein

For courage in the timid world! -Fearkiller

[Fearkiller]

12.1 Saturday

0.3 liters of water 23.30-8.00 worth of sleep

300g bag of frozen vegetables

 

13.1 0.75 liters of water

The problem is I can wake up at 6 but then I get trapped in the warm comfort of my bed and actually get out of the bed at 8.00-9.00 I'd need a machine that pulls the blanket off...

 

Only one workout this week, didn't get it done this morning and as with those cases, the day was quickly filled with other (less important) things.

[Gobnait]

I've been having problems with facing the cold first thing in the morning, too.  Well, I've been sick, but just tossing off my clothes and not putting on my sleepwear has made it a more noticeable concern.  Try warmer pajamas and less blankets.

 

Good for getting frozen veggies.

 

Now get on that fearkilling or I'm gonna make you stand on a streetcorner with a sign that says, "I have trouble leaving my comfort zone."

hahaha, i think i need a sign like that

[Fearkiller]

Now get on that fearkilling or I'm gonna make you stand on a streetcorner with a sign that says, "I have trouble leaving my comfort zone."

 

Hold me onto this:

 

If I do not manage equal or above a C in all my goals, I will do that.

 

I met the student who I practiced speaking english with once in the previous challenge and he offered to find time for an another lesson.

And I have a potential friend right there.

I got another workout done on Monday 14.1, will post it later.

-----

Another side of the coin:

I've had two chances on "genuine compliment" and one on "start a conversation". And I missed all three.

-----

Well, got to flip it again.

[Fearkiller]

14.1 Monday

???

???

Didn't write them down anywhere.

It'd be guesswork at best.

 

15.1 Tuesday

80g of sunflower seeds (slightly fed up with these, going to find something else soon) = 18g of protein

Sleep 22.30-06.20

 

16.1 Wednesday

60g of SF seeds = 12g of protein

4 dl of milk = 4x3.2=12g of protein

Sleep 23.00-06.15

[Blaidd]

Nuts, coconut pieces, jerky and bacon "crisps" are great subs for sunflower seeds

Planning on putting this on my signature, at least for this challenge.

Sums it up nicely. And it's funny. Thought it'd be polite to ask.

[Gobnait]

Anything to keep that at the front of your mind.

[Laureleye]

Maybe you can get warmed up by making more/longer posts?  We'll all make you practice your written English at least. 

[Fearkiller]

I realized I need a new trigger for fearkilling: instead of waiting for curses, I just need a constant reminder.
What about drawing a something on my wrist with a (non) permanent marker. Plain "X" is boring, any quote is too long.. ideas?
 

Maybe you can get warmed up by making more/longer posts?  We'll all make you practice your written English at least. 

The problem is spoken english, I can write 90%-fluently. "90%" because after high school the responsibility for spotting
my mistakes is on my own hands, and that tends to lead all the small mistakes I don't notice to pile
up. I've got a creeping feeling I'm not as good writer as at the end of high school.

Anyways, it'd get to beat the fear of interacting with people and also get my english in shape,
ready for being an exchange student and for around the world trip I've been planning to
go after I graduate.

18.1 Friday
180g of chicken = 36g protein
3dl milk = 9g
total 45g
Water 8dl
Sleep 22.10-06.10

I just thought out that I'd throw all my material stuff out of the window (open it first ) if I could get personal growth that way. Life does not work so, but the next challenge will be cluttering everything in my room. Big box in the middle of the room and just throw the "oh, I can't throw this away, I might need it someday"-stuff away. Small wonder how much stuff there's eating up time.
(Just to have the thought here to remember.)

[Fearkiller]

Spoke english with my friend, and managed to improve a bit again.

(The speak english fearkilling will be rated based on how much I improve.

Hard to quantify. But let's sort it out as it comes along..

 

Got workout done 19.1, but I should've waited for my knee to heal. However,

warm-up: 150 jumping jacks,

exercises: 3 circuits of 10 push ups and 45 second plank

and after those circuits once 12 min with the bipedal.

Streching as  usual but with double dose for quads.

[Gobnait]

Choose a power word, something that stands for your goals. A decade ago, one of those livestrong bracelets would have been perfect. You could also try to find a charm or bead at a craft store that reminds you of your goals. http://www.quickmeme.com/Honey-Badger-Dont-Care/?upcoming

My workout 19.1 left my both knees in a queer state: it doesn't feel like real pain, yet there's something wrong with them. I think that if this isn't over by Monday, I'll have to seek a doctor appointment. However, I will still continue with core and upper body strength (yet without warming up). Been using those knees as an excuse to skip working out and have to do some extra planks and push ups in public-fearkilling to patch that up with.

I did 3x10 and 3x45 second planks random public places, mostly my polytechnic. Felt weird, but looks can't hurt

Going to ask next week 5
random peoples to join me the speak english thing -acknowledging it here,
because I know I will shy from it if not accountable.

 

And I will show up in Valentine's Day-party 14.2. Normally, I'd shy along in a corner,

but now I'll do my best to actually meet people.

 

Concerning about the goal rating, I assume that anything between 

0-25% = F, 25-50% = D, 50-75% = C, 75-100% = B 100%- ...

err... It can't be. What did I miss?

Good luck with that Valentine's Day party.  I am not really one for Valentine's day but i am lucky that, if i was, i wouldn't have to try and flirt with anyone on it Please do come and tell us how it went though.  I am sure you will have a great time!
