Aeri Strikes Again or Something

[Aerisand]

This challenge will somehow be about action; implementation.

Reduce the planning time, be more effective.

I will still also focus on direction though, but it can't take me half the challenge to outline where I'm going, it has to be quick, clear and straighforward. And I know I can adjust it as I go, it's ok to be wrong, but to fail one has to move first. Fail harder, fail often to get to awesome.

 

- Get a job: asap   [once]

- Active constantly: there's always something to do   [Y/N]

- Workout: a bit every day, convict conditioning 3/week   [Y/N]

- Cook healthy: at least twice for the week   [Y/N]

 

Should track it on paper, and have it near me. Also want to make a new planner for the quick, clear and straightforward part.

[Aerisand]

I will have to move things around in my epic quest, to adjust for a clearer path. 

Right now. What do I want? 

Easy part is, I will get a job to earn enough money to do what I want to do, and deal with my money issues. But that doesn't say where I'm headed.

I know about one big deal thing I want to do with my life. I am kind of scared of trying it, not sure I'll be able to handle going at it fully.

If not that, then, what? Is there anything else, or an alternative for that one thing that will still help it?

I know I've recently had some frustrating hindsight moments in regards to my education and career choices. I'm where I am for a reason, but sadly it is making my epic quest a little more difficult because pieces of that just started to coalesce. So similar to you, I have a big deal thing, but getting there is going to be tough. So wishing you some happy thoughts and luck as you move forward, no matter how it looks and/or happens.

Thank you! Happy thoughts and good luck to you too

• Next week on Monday or Tuesday I will get notified about a possible job, and maybe someone else will contact me too. I'll be sure to apply to more on Monday anyway.
• I'm considering also starting studies on something, but that will require family involvement for costs; will discuss it later today. I do know what I'd like to study.
• I've been having fun, plenty of fun that involves socializing  , should be able to keep it up as long as I do get a job soon
• Cooked yesterday, came out ok, need to prepare for Monday's meal on the weekend.
• Independent work project is going ok, going to study related subjects to be better suited for it. Should review all the info I have on it this weekend.

The way I feel is quite interesting. I could say I feel great, but I wouldn't be sure. But I do feel great. The difference from last time I said it, is that now I am feeling all the emotions, the good and the bad, and it's .. interesting how I can still feel awesome in the middle of feeling alive.

I feel alive  , could feel more alive still, and I'm working on it!

 

Note that, a lot of the improvement comes from only a couple changes I've made:

1. Calling things out by their real name; talking about issues.
2. Facing things, instead of avoiding them or pretending they're not there; taking action.
3. Reducing gaming time to the minimum, if at all; using time (slightly) more wisely.

So if you are afraid you can't handle it fully, can you try it out like half or so? Or do you just need to go in and see how you handle to so you can truly learn if it is for you?

Heys, thank you

 

I could try to figure out what half would be, so I could see about what would the first steps be. And then just keep going and see how it goes. Maybe could find similar paths that start that way, not sure.

I have an idea of where to begin that wouldn't seem like it's related, but I see a connection. Unusual connections might make for something interesting.

[Aerisand]

The universe appears to be challenging me ... to see if I'll keep my head up, or something...

We'll see how I do. Things hurt.

[Aerisand]

Things are looking up again! 

What hurts, still hurts, but that will get sorted out eventually.

 

Looking forward to starting this week.

 

Oh, Week 1 has a 65% score. 

Didn't cook for the whole week, but I was active, and getting closer to getting a job. Need to workout, but at least there was plenty of walking.

[Aerisand]

Sunday, I discussed the thing about studying something, gave me food for thought. Going to do some research about it either later today (Monday) or on the weekend.

 

Week 2 - Day 1, got a job

Still need to review, organize and summarize all the info I have on my project. Get most done by tonight.  Nu.. I'm somehow tired tonight.

By tonight also, figure out what I'll do with my time on my new upcoming schedule.

Thank you guys! Been enjoying it!

 

Week 2 has a 72% score, 

Cooked once, walked to work almost every day, was active enough.

[Aerisand]

Things keep getting better. Managing my schedule so I can do it all will be the main challenge now.

Might move somewhere else again (most likely), closer to work. 

 

Week 3 has a 72% score again,

I probably have to adjust the rules about cooking, still only walking for about an hour every day but nothing else.

 

Going to try to find a cheap enough gym near the new place. Also, going to miss my roomates a whole lot, so for seeing them I have to work on making it happen, or it won't.

Must get ready for another round of changes!!!

 

/Fighting!

Week 4, score 72%
