Objective 01, Social media only for education : Day 35
_______________________________________________________
Objective 02, Wake up at 6am and drink a coffee : Day 40
______________________________________________________
Objective 03 : Day 01
- Accomplish 7h00 of work total *** (see the note bellow)
- Start working at 8h30 am and work for 3h30
- Continue at 1h30 pm, work for 3h30
- If I still haven't done 7h00 of work by then due to interruptions, continue at 6h30 work until I've done my 7h00
*** NOTE
Working is important for me, but I still want to remain flexible. I don't feel like cutting myself off from the people I know and tell them that I can't see em because I have to work and study. During those day where I'll be visiting someone (father, brother, whatever) for a big chunk of the day, the objective changes from 7h00 of work to 3h30 of work.

On the other matter. I would definitely not forego those meetings with your father. But 3.5 hrs is quite a lot (In my subjective opinion)
Maybe such a format should happen once a week at most, probably I would opt closer to once a month.
Because it may start being a way for you to escape work.Honestly I think it's still a mater of pushing of work... maybe because I don't feel any form of pressure to do work. Usually, this starts to change after losing money, I start remembering the amount I already lost and how much of a waste it would be if I just stop now and do nothing.
And as for the meeting thing, I totally understand what you mean, but I think I have it under control, those things usually happen only once a week. And it's my goal to improve on this objective eventually (starting to work earlier, getting used to work late, increasing the amount of work accomplished during the day overall, etc)

I'd like to add that in my very individual opinion, it's better off chatting with the people close to you in further split apart distances ( I live apart though ), not everyday. In your case, at least not devote that much specific time to it. You're gonna see them anyway, you live in the same house...I wasn't really talking about chatting, I mean I live with my mom, but I don't actually see my dad very often and when I do, I usually spend the day at his house. I don't feel like saying no to that for the sake of work.

Paid the required amount... will probably happen again knowing myself

Have you thought about the Pomodoro technique for chunking up your work? I think it goes something like you do 25 mins of focused work, followed by a 5 min break, another 25 mins of work followed by a 5 min break, and then finally 25 mins of work followed by a longer 15 min break. You then start the process over again. Something to consider as you’re trying to get more work done throughout the day.
Oh yeah! I do use that technique.

You don’t have to feel humiliated that you still live with your mom. If you ask me, that just means you’re in a great position to save money and plan for the future! Keep your head up, you’re doing great!
On 12/11/2022 at 4:34 AM, Yan said:Well, just as Paul said, don't be humiliated. Make a choice and stick by it. I understand this feeling, as I moved out as soon as I could, but I'm paying another price for it. It's all about what you want to accomplish and what you're willing to pay. As Paul said, this way you can save more money, while in the other way, you'll spend more, but be more independent. So once more, hope you decide and go with it, so that you have mental peace 🙂
Thanks a lot, I appreciate this

About the objective 3 update : I've realized that the most difficult part about working isn't the actual work, it's getting myself to work. I've failed the objective this Saturday and Sunday, or half of it. I've been able to start working at 8h30 and accomplish at least 3h30 of work. Then I took a break... and stopped working. This is why I am adding the two following rules :
- Continue at 1h30 pm, work for 3h30
- If I still haven't done 7h00 of work by then due to interruptions, continue at 6h30 work until I've done my 7h00
I feel like this should solve part of the problem I had, it makes my work schedule more concrete, I don't get to push work for later now.
The last rule I added was to add some flexibility, I don't think that I can and want to prioritize work over everything, I value my friends and family, I want to see them.
Also I'll have to pay 100$ for failing on Saturday and Sunday

Got it. Very cool! Another question that rises though is how do you sustain yourself(moneywise)?
Part time jobs, I live with my mother....
I don't really like talking about that, it's humiliating

12 hours ago, Yan said:I think it would be cool if you'd write instead of "Objective" - Social media only for education: Day 23
and Waking up early + Brush Teeth and 15 min work: Day 28 (Or something like this) then everyone who reads it would be more clear on what it is 🙂 I have a feeling that most people won't go back through the pages to see what those objectives are =/That makes a lot of sense actually

12 hours ago, Yan said:Remind me what do you work at? I mean when you say work for 7 hours every day, what do you want to work on?
If that's what your conscious tells you, go for it!Right! So I want to work in the 3D industry as an animator, so by work I mean, watching tutorials, practice, finding good references, more practice, etc.

Objective 02 : Day 28____________________________
9 hours ago, Yan said:8/3 days 'till adding cold showerssssss right? Keep rocking sir! 🙂
Actually I'll be going for something more important.
I want to:
- Start Working / Studying at 8h30 Am
- Do 7 hour of work every day for 30 day (as a first objective)
It's something that I am able to do during the week, but I can't seem to do it during the weekend, I just avoid work and this annoys me.
I want this fixed. I want to develop some sort of discipline with myself, to stop avoiding work, I have a lot of free time now that I am not spending it exclusively on youtube, I want to do something with it.
Cold shower will have to wait until I get myself to start acting like an adult and stop avoiding responsibilities like the plague

I know it might be hard to see it that way, but don't bash yourself too much, everyone can change with enough time.
Just hang in there and take it one step at a time.

For me, the morning starts with watering all of my plants, then immediately going for a 5-min walk, then journaling while the water for my tea is boiling. Afterwards, I allow myself to be grumpy/tired/frustrated at the morning, but the first 20 minutes of my day are "automated".
On 11/21/2022 at 10:12 PM, Yan said:The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is that:
Unsuccessful people are waiting to feel like it to do it.
While successful people do it so they could feel like it. ( Don't remember the origin of the quote unfortunately )Well I guess I am slowly working my way to creating good habits, I just don't want to start with to many things at once, tried that a few time, never ended with success.
I am already trying to wake up at 6am
And to drop game/social media (and it hasn't been going to badly recently, yet)
Will start adding new stuff in 15 more days

I think it's a great Idea
I don't know what 6am me will think about it though
Guess we'll see

Honestly I agree, but I can't seem to share your opinion when I arrive home at 8 pm...
I could maybe try to find the time in the morning, but frankly, I am just as tired in the morning, and somehow even more grumpy...
But I can try I guess

Did you continue to watch something else or did you just watch this one funny video and that's it?Awful and regret, I don't know, annoyed and somewhat frustrated, yes.
And it was one video, then I stopped
Still need to pay up though

Entry 13.11 (Written at 14.11)
Day 56: No Useless Videos
Day 54: Sticking to Food schedule
Flight to Spain is tomorrow evening
At friday night I was bit by a dog during work, then I called a medical consultation which told me to see a doctor and consult the health ministry within 12 hours.
I did just that.
And because of not thinking of taking the number of the owner at the same moment, I don't know if the dog might have had rabies.
That's why I was suggested to make a vaccination by our ministry of health.
Which I did in two dosis, in two different places, including the ER.
I also needed to visit the family doctor to see if the place was infected.
The trouble is that I have three other dosis now that need to have administered during the period of my stay at Spain, so I basically spent the whole day yesterday trying to figure out how I will accomplish this. A walk to the doctor which I planned would be 30 minutes in the morning, turned to a whole day of running around the city.
I didn't even complete my morning routine because I planned to come back in half an hour and continue sleeping...
-Didn't work yesterday as a courier.
-Barely did the 2 hour minimum of the marketing project
P.S. Rabies is a 99.99% killing disease if diagnosed, there are only 35 cases that were cured on record, the rest died. That's why I decided that I'd better do it, despite the complications.Sounds like a tough day...
Glad you managed to get vaccinated
How was the consultation with your doctor, if I may ask

(Edit) I mean, did you watch social media? Did you game? What triggered you? How long did it last? What do you think you could do otherwise? How did you generally feel? (Feel free to elaborate further than just my questions)Well I went on youtube, looking for 3D animation tutorial videos. Guess I remembered a funny video I once watched and it just kinda slipped? Honnestly I am not even sure myself...
