Less youtube + other time wasting sites. About 1-1:15 wasted on these websites
I want to continue this good recovery and have a fun crit race in Alviso
After my ride, I was pretty tired and just ate, watched videos, played games, and laid around for a couple of hours. I should have used this time to clean myself up and do work in the bed or read or something else that pulled me back into the workday. Overall again I spent 2.5ish hours wasting time on videos and games and Reddit. Need to catch myself and pull myself back into the productive state like I did later today
I want to get a really good sleep, and a good recovery ride in.
I also want to finish my mvp landing page and share on some reddit forums and setup ads for it.
I also want to look into/mock the Airtable journal idea into something MVP shareable in hopes of needing to complete it for the sign ups I get
Time wasting 100%. In the morning I feel like I’m invincible with time remaining since it’s so early so I waste about 1 hour. Then after lunch I get kinda burnt out and resort to wasting another hour. I don’t think it’s tiredness since I get plenty of sleep and at night all I wanna do is work, so I need to keep forcing myself to put the phone down and close youtube and do something else for a couple minutes, like stretch, and go back to facing down my challenges
I really want to get 3 non friend sign ups for my idea validation landing page from ppl in my target audience. I’ll prolly have to rework my copy and offering a bit. I also want to run ads for it, and try to create an organic search path to the sign up
TIME WASTING
Another day of close to 3 hours wasted on YouTube and reddit. What the fuck man. I know journaling is helpful, but it was my morning goal to remind myself of this feeling of guilt and frustration, and all the negative shit wasting time will cause. I’m on this planet once, I’ve got one life, I’m at a really good time of my life to execute, and I’m falling a bit short on giving it my all. I’ve put in a pretty good work ethic and dent into starting this goal, I just need to polish this part of my life since it feeds so much negative emotion. Not wasting time and taking actions that move me forward to my goal = stronger, healthier, better functioning headspace
I want to flesh out more the problem/solution and different offering of my journaling. I want to adjust my website to reflect that and my ads. I want to flesh out mvp must haves for solving the problem
training wise I want to get a quality long ride in with not too much intensity
My nutrition was a bit all over the place tonight. After the heavy chipotle meal I kinda ate all over the map with wolf turds and fruits.
my mind was also making me guilty/self punish for skipping a day of trying to work on my business because in my mind this time is meant to be dedicated 100% to dig deep and get a business up and running. If this is what has to be done, and I choose to do it, I need to accept these emotions and say it’s ok, we’re doing this today. although nick bare is completely right, I can’t judge everything I do based on what he did in his situation 5 years ago
i want the have the athlete diary mvp features, problems, solution put down and a mock ui drawn and begin coding it/testing variations on myself
I need to think more business/problem solving oriented when creating this product. I understand all aspects of the journal app, but I need to create, think, and write to address the customers perspective
my Emotional self hatred loop that I alllwed to take over my mind because of my discomforts and ultimately wasted 4-5 hours watching tv. I can control how I view my feelings, what I want to do with it, and I 100% control the outcome of my day regardless of feelings. I can always have something to do to work on my goal. Days are counting down dude, don’t waste your time and life on bullshit. You have one shot and you’ll really hate yourself and be disappointed if you waste it. It’s hard now, will be way harder later, but the sooner you accept it the sooner these shit days and time wasting on nonesense are over, and days of wins fails but momentum return. And with that will come incremental success of bigger and bigger goals
Yet again, time management, and following that categorization I wrote above. I had really negative moods all day due to wasting time and due to my stomach pain. I just didn't want to work, so I ended up not taking advantage of my day. So just acknowledging my emotions, shelving them, and continuing with work as best I can.
Adding a sense of urgency to some of the work. When I run out of energy or ideas to work, I either snack, or just stare off instead of just transitioning to something else to work on or finishing it thru. It’s a bit hard since everything I’m doing is mostly new to me but I think I can get a bit better at it
More action. I just consumed a lot without taking action on my journal app. I have my weekly goals but I have not been attacking it with action like I usually do. I need to read those every morning and work as efficiently as possible to get them done each week. Theyre do-able, I just need to stay committed and focused to get thru them. It's all achievable and do-able what I have written down and dreamed up!!!
Reading and consuming content less. I know the direction and steps I need to take. The only consuming I need to do is when Im sharing my work and finding places to share it to. Otherwise I need to be creating
Skipped on the video games. I gave in to the pressure and spent 1:45 playing video games. Although I did get a constipation in the same time, my mood went noticeably worse, and I felt grumpy and anxious after and guilty that I wasted time. Next time just block it and don't do it, similar to how I've done with my video games
Have a great time and finish a challenging half iron man. Period.
HIM Reflection
today’s biggest challenge was the half Ironman. I’ve been training, telling myself it will be relatively easy to do it since I can run and bike that distance. I failed and couldn’t do the run, but I did started.
The swim went surprisingly well. I got into a really good rhythm in a couple of spots and I think had some good pace 1:44/100yd
When I was really tired, I just laid in bed and wasted time on social media. Instead I need to force myself to just be with my own thoughts and think, write, draw, etc. to recover while still staying focused. Ignore the "just one more hit" dopamine addiction. Same thing happened with jerking it today. I gave in .
