Entry 2.12 (Written on 04.12) Day 434: No Useless Videos Day 433: Sticking to Food schedule Day 36: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 26: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -Planning week -When I accidentally saw the message of potential employer at 17 30 telling me not to attend the 1 week course planned for next week, and feeling "scared" because I already was seeing myself in this job position/ just course to begin with, calling him in the middle of deliveries, and asking to call me back in a message - it's allowed once I make a call, since if it's important enough to make a call, it's fine to also use messages for that cause -When I saw that he didn't call me back, sort of breaking my rule of not reading messages throughout the day, (I was really thinking to call him in the morning to try and convince him otherwise in order not to break the rule) But I thought I'd better take the shot and at least write him a message explaining what I thought, since I figured, from this point on, from his point of vies it would be a waste of time to spend time on a call with me, but he would at least read a message. (And indeed the result was he eventually returned me a message to come on Sunday for the course and then we'll decide if I continue) 1 Thing I could do better -Count the damn money my apartment need to give me for the bi-weekly purchase during pomodoro breaks - im postponng it for about 5 days already. Time Lost: Skipping to gather ground

By the way i noted the schedule from 11.10 post still says "Shiitake mushrooms" just now, and I've been consuming portobello instead for quite a while. But, I guess so long as it sits on the same need of Vitamin D content and it's still a mushroom it counts. Also, for next week will indeed buy shiitake mushrooms. -6.5 hrs deliveries 1 Thing I could do better -If the question is between making an entry at all or just omitting "Time lost" opt for at least making an entry with just 3 things done right and 1 that could be done better, like this entry Food Schedule Clarification The rule is, updating schedule only every two weeks, but since I didn't update it and kept it the same before the purchase itself, I now clarify that for the purpose of these two weeks Instead of Shiitake mushrooms, I may eat Champignongs or shiitake that I put under the sun Time Lost: Skipping to gather ground

Okay let's break this comment down, first of all I appreciate your words, thank you very much 😉 To be continued...

But now I decided to put 1 day's meal in the freezer to get into rhythm of cooking on friday. 1 Thing I could do better -Prioritize the pomodoro over eating, so long as I am doing them together. I am doing pomodoros and eating. Not eating and doing pomodoros(Prioritywise) Time Lost: 9 min monthly plan 3 min room organize 11 min food prep 12 min from shower after workout 5 min pomodoro breaks 23 min because of prolonging call with insurance agent, which I was calling to better understand what I want to answer a job offer as a potential insurance salesman which I was asked to answer by today 2 min pomodoro break 13 minutes reading price table for insurance to understand if It's useful and I'd want to buy it 34 minutes preparing food and calling back potential job place to say I'd like to try the course with no obligation Alltogether resulting in 112 minutes late Missed activities: Cleanroom- 30 minutes Finances - 10 minutes Duo - 10 minutes Deliveries - 1 hour 8 minutes A total 4 minute gap from the above calculation, but it's accurate enough for me. because 1 minute here and there is a possible reason for this

Don't allow myself to slip until 1 second befdore 19 which is the last time for me to leave for deliveries Time Lost: 3 min - plan day 5 min fluxchiaquinoa because of speaking with apartment mate 3 min gratitude etc. 3 min make bed 13 minutes after shower after workout 5 min prepfood (This was returned during the next pomodoro block so it doesn't count in the total) 57 min - 2 additional pomodoros of blog instead of job search because I didn't finish eating 5 min during job search 5 min during pomodoros Mind boggling 34 minutes for preparing food and 12 more minutes for answering potential call from potential job place Total time lost: 88 minutes resulting in omitting the organizing of the room, finances and duolingo, plus 1 hour late for leaving for deliveries

I am unsure if there was a change since last measurement since last measurement was made after breakfast and was 56.0 kg, which just the breakfast weighs that much. In any case, the safest bet would be to raise calories further... which I shall do in next two weeks iteration since I ordered in a haste again without changes X_x -Ordering food for two weeks, it's a tremendous time saver. My own purchase took about 25 minutes and for apartment mates 30 more. Cuts at least half of the time. (Especially if the apartment mates wouldn't change the foods they order like myself 😉 -Having planned a longer job search for tomorrow since I make it apoint to change only the next day, and the last GQ entry was written this day. 1 Thing I could do better -Ponder how to go back to eating food and doing pomodoros separately Time Lost: At a quick glance, about 25 minutes away from lunch timeframe - about 15 minutes because of cooking dates 15 minutes away from breakfast timeframe 20 minutes taking unplanned call from a potential real-estate course Went out for deliveries about 1 hour late

I want to go at least on 3 interviews before I pick a job, which might help to pick it for a longer term and avoid quitting the course in the middle, just like the last one. Time Lost: Skipping this since I'm already 6 minutes out of timeframe as usual X_x

When feeling the urge to do something out of schedule write it down and let it sit for some time, perhaps half an hour before I do it. Time lost: 35 minutes approximately for cooking in the morning ( Because I forgot to write it down for some reason) 40 min approximately for cooking and unplanned calls Total: about 75 minutes Note: When calculating how much to cook for a week I noted that I miscalculated it last week, so I got away from schedule, but it was not conscious, so I guess Imma let it slip.. X_x

Long comment that is. It will probably take me a few days to answer. 😄 Thanks a lot for taking the time!

(It's a positive even though I moved away from schedule a bit) -2.5 hrs resumes and phonecalls -Writing schedule for both today and tomorrow 1 Thing I could do better -Be less chill during pomodoros. Lost time: Falling a bit behind on diary entry's so omiting this for today (These excuses man....)

Brother, I strongly disagree. Maybe Cronometer is not 100% accurate, but it is based on deep research and RDA's. It seems to me like you're desperately trying to justify the undisciplined life to yourself. Because if you don't have exact measurements to count on, then you may let free reign to the "immediate pleasure" self. But I believe you came here to this forum exactly to fight that part of yourself. Think about it...

That is because they are requesting to present as speaking from Canada instead of Israel (They say it's to avoid people quitting the sale just because of racism, which probably does happen a lot, but I don't care, if those people want to avoid the sale because of that, let them. It is not an excuse for lying) Back to Job search. -5 Hours of searching jobs approximately (Calls, CV sending) -10 pomodoros (Day 56) 1 Thing I could do better -Leave time for a nap after lunch, maybe it will help me avoid that super extra sleepiness, which just swallowed about 5 of my pomodoros Lost time: 1 hour approx unplanned nap 1 hour approx - late from workout, being too chill when preparing dinner and speaking with apartment mate 2 hours approx

Indeed, I believe that if you decide something earlier, it is usually more rational. When you decide in the moment it is more emotional. Often the rational is closer to your real moral long-term values, that is my opinion, and the opinion of Nir Eyal and some others like Stephen Covey, that's why you're making schedules 🙂

Thanks for taking the time to comment. You need not worry. I measure myself almost every two weeks to make sure I have fine weihght, if i don't I, I change that in the schedule. I do blood tests regularly, if they show anything wrong i change that in the schedule and that changes (That's what happens when you are in control and not letting circumstances control you) I have been to a diagnosis with a food disorder center, because I thought i had one, but not the one you think. I thought I had BED. They all said I don't but that i'm more in the OCD spectrum so stay calm. My health is definitely taken care of 😉 And yes, poop can be a lost time if you do it not in the devoted timeframe. What seperates us from animals is our ability to control impulses in my opinion.

As I've just replied to the two guys who commented before you, I consider time "lost when |I deviate from what I've planned beforehand Maybe time doesn't just "sink" but if you use it to pick your nose instead of working out it may lead over-time to harming your health for example The amount of how much you are aligned with your moral values is usually measured by how much you follow what you've planened beforehand in my opinion. I agree it's not "wasted" if you make it intentional. Although I do still acknowledbge that I didn't meet my criteria and goals, and need to continue looking for ways to improve
