  1. Entry 14.11 Day 417: No Useless Videos Day 4165: Sticking to Food schedule Day 19: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 9: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -10 pomodoros (Day 53) - -When it began rainng in the middle of a pomodoro and mushrooms were drying in the sun, not stopping pomodoro for it, rather waiting and then drying them up which resulted in less deviation from schedule than if i were to stop the pomodoro in the middle -Back home at 22 04 approx to make time for GQ and plan tomorrow 🙂 1 Thing I could do better -Having planned for more things to attempt when ordering groceries (Look for someone to do delivery or purchase from another place a completion of what is lacking Where I saved time 70 minutes late to begin deliveries In approximation - 20 minutes more then planned for organizing to go out of house 20 more minutes because my regular compost place was not available about 20 more for preparing food and 10 more because of mushroom drying All hose are rough estimates
  2. @PochatokSorry too many comments, hope you may wait one more day plz, thanks 🙂
  3. The first 🙂 I consider it a distraction, not planning well enough to fit into the alloted time.
  4. Hey Vee, simply because I didn't accomplish the thing I planned. So long as I don't do what I planned to do, it's considered a distraction for me. Thanks for taking the time to ask 🙂

Entry 13.11 Day 416: No Useless Videos Day 415: Sticking to Food schedule Day 18: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 8: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -10 pomodoros (Day 52) - -Offering neighbor's kid to make a delivery for me (the groceries that are very expensive while ordering) even though he said no. -Making a grocery order for two weeks 1 Thing I could do better -When apartment mate offered to pay me in the morning for the groceries I bought for him, postpone it, since it cost me 10 minutes and a delay quite early in the day, which I believe was partly the cause for making deliveries 6.5 hours out of 7 Where I saved time Again having planned the day the day before in advance, I only have been late by 30 minutes to leave for delivery time (10 minutes talking to apartment mates in the morning, some 10 cooking food, washing some unplanned pot instead of leaving it for the washing machine, and another 10 or so because of organizing not very effectively to leave for deliveries and talking to neighbor I guess. 60 Saved Minutes (30 lost)
  6. @FDRx7 @Pochatok Thank you very much for taking the time to comment, will make effort to answer tomorrow. Sorry for the delay 🙂

Entry 12.11 Day 415: No Useless Videos Day 414: Sticking to Food schedule Day 17: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 7: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -10 pomodoros (Day 51) - -Late only for 10 minutes at workout and 5 minutes to get into shower. (Because of going to poop) -7 full hours of deliveries. 1 Thing I could do better -Plan the tasks that should be cut in the middle if not completed within timeframe and those that don't. For example cleaning up room and finances may be cut in middle Blog, and workouts not. Bust best of all manage all of them if I already plan for it Where I saved time 75 Saved Minutes Since I awas late 15, and 90 is the average

For example cleaning up room and finances may be cut in middle Blog, and workouts not. Bust best of all manage all of them if I already plan for it Where I saved time Up till now in the day only started shower 5 minutes late. So I guess I could say that today 's total is 90 Saved Minutes (Estimated average of time I spent since I started measuring) And all that in very large part thanks to planning the day in advance. Edit: I'd like to add that on coaching call today I said I was planning to not work for money mostly for a year and concentrate onymy pomodoro projects, but I'm pretty sure I do want to at least cover my living costs. Ponder that.

  10. Entry 9.11 (Written on 10.11) Day 412: No Useless Videos Day 411: Sticking to Food schedule Day 14: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 4: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -10 pomodoros (Day 48) - Still pain =/ -Going over contract(Job - Sales Telemarketing, Immigration Services/Products) for the second time before its signing. Asking all questions I had on my mind regards it, and signing with a whole heart. -4 hours of deliveries 1 Thing I could do better -Diary entry + plan next day in the evening, and, hopefully plan week on saturday. Where I lost time: 5 planday 1 meditate 2 graride etc 1 Diary Entry 10 probably wearing clothes and preparing for workout 10 min workout 19 min shower+ change clothes which i forgot to put in schedule When leaving for contract sign was 1 hour late on schedule When leaving for deliveries was 2 hours late (1 hour lost for signing contract instead) Planning could be improved a lot, times for contract signing weren't fitting Total lost time: About 2 hrs Breakfast times (as specified on 29.10( 0(Plates, write goals, etc.) - 07:20 1- 03 30 2- 4:10 3-4 4- 1.5 5- 3 Total 22:30 (Peel tahini in room)

  12. Entry 7.11 (Written on 8.11) Day 410: No Useless Videos Day 409: Sticking to Food schedule Day 13: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 3: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -12 pomodoros (Day 46) - Since I'm writing for previous day, it's still on 🙂 -Reading 30 minutes of potential contract -Making a grocery order online even though it raised doubts in me and my head was screaming - it's expensive, it's expensive! I barely stopped to think and ordered it quite quickly - ended up being 42 minutes along with order for apartment mates. Usually going for shopping takes me about 2.5 hrs sothat's an enormous save, also it will be reduced further because, now I have a list of items which is recorded and I may just repeat all of them with the press of a button with a slight modification. And I generally order most stuff which are the same from one going to shop to the other so it's probably gonna take me really like 15 minutes! 1 Thing I could do better -Finish workout a bit earlier to plan tomorrow in advance, slipping to planning in the morning for a long time already. Where I lost time: Guess again not today to stick to timeframe X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X Edit: Food Schedule Stays unchanged as mentioned in 10.10.23
  13. @lord8266 oh wow I didn't see you wrote "you are a god", I though you wrote you are good lol Don't overdo it, I'm just a guy trying to do my best every day like all of us here 🙂 Anyway I'd like to quote Nietsche in answering yourquestion (Dunno why you removed it) "He who has a why to live for can bare almost any how" A few good books that helped me define my why are Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich and Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and I'd suggest all of them to you, but probably I'd suggest you start with 7 habits 🙂 Edit: Also very recently Flow - Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi
  14. Entry 6.11 (Written on 7.11) Day 409: No Useless Videos Day 408: Sticking to Food schedule Day 12: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 2: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -12 pomodoros (Day 45) - This streak will change (by plan) to 10 pomodoros tomorrow for the close time period. (Still maintaining the streak though 😉 ) -Making the credibility test(for potential job) that took an hour and 10 minutes to complete with complete focus. -Fixing bike wheel, after many thoughts and looking for another tire as you saw in the previous post. 1 Thing I could do better -Wake up earlier but permit a short nap in middle of day (That's already on pilot today - 07.11) Where I lost time: 7 planday 2 fluxchiaquinoa 13 meditate 2 gratitude etc 11 diary entry 2 make bed 42 credibility test about 50 in fixing tire To be continued tomorrow since I'm getting to my 10 minute dieary entry timeframe Starting tomorrow: -Two things that need to happen (God permitting): That is 1. The pomodoros reduced to 10 a day. 2. 7 hours of deliveries for the next week (Apart for saturday where I may do less if I get to 40 deliveries) 3. Tomorrow I'll need to wake up at 05 45 to still make it to the grocery shop to make purchase for a week, Then try to order for 1 week next week.
  15. Hopefully will answer tomorrow, thanks for your comment!
  16. Entry 5.11 (Written on 6.11) Day 408: No Useless Videos Day 407: Sticking to Food schedule Day 11: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 1: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -12 pomodoros (Day 44) -Getting on time to a job interview with my not yet sold bike- because the main one has a puncture(60 seconds late but it doesn'\t count :D) -Despite having a large amount of stress regarding the replacement of my tire, because I wanted to find it on the internet for cheap and do it quickly, but I lost more than an hour on checking it out. Having focused on my next tasks and slowly reduced anxiety, so that at the job interview I already didn't feel any. 1 Thing I could do better -When I really don't know something regarding the bike parts etc. Go to one of the stores for their additional help in decision to get it, it will take a hell of a lot less time than doing it alone. (Of course some limits may apply like having a puncture and must be taken into consideration, but generally, don't try to figure it out alone, especially when it is something that needs to be done immediately (Without a fine tire I'll keep getting punctures probably, and because of a flat tire bike would miss lots of work) Where I lost time: 2 min chiaflux 3 min morning gratitude etc 11 min GQ Entry 30 min prepfood 9 pomodoros 56 looking for tire on web 5 min preplunch 100 min interview 35 min approx nap in late evening Total lost time: 251 minutes or 4 hours and 11 minutes Free text: I want to make many changes to free up much more time for work purposes here are some Ideas that I want to implement in the close period of time -Cook once a week (Possibly 2-3 days worth of food to be put in the freezer) -Order food from grocery store instead of going there once in two weeks, do it 2 days before food runs out, so that if there's still something missing, I may ask apt. mates t get it or go myself) -Do laundry strictly once in two weeks -Do 10 pomodoros instead of 12 starting tomorrow (Because I want to work 7 hours as a courier for 10 days) -Do 5 shorter workouts of 1.5 hours throughout the week, (with shorter warmups and warmdowns so that I may still manage the same main sets which usually take me about 9 hours, but now I want to squeeze them into 7.5 Those are the thoughts for now, but it will require more than that. Also, it may require more money of me. to spend less time on any tasks. Consider that If I spend money which will save time in the future, I may make a lot more money with that same time, so in the case of such expenses my limits need to be widened. (But if I'm absolutely sure it will bring a cumulative time return) - this is just a thought.
  17. Entry 4.11 (Written on 5.11 ) Day 407: No Useless Videos Day 406: Sticking to Food schedule Day 10: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 0: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did right, no matter how small. -12 pomodoros (Day 43) -Deciding promptyl that eventually I don't want apartment mate to help me replace the tube and going to professional instead to avoid any possible placement damage, even though it took me 40 minutes to get to the pro, because I only found one, and he was that far after calling about 3 other phone numbers or more. -When being at the store, asking the guy to do the tube replacement with my own hands, while he shows me how to do it. 1 Thing I could do better -I dozed off before turning the alarm clock the day before, causing me to wake up at 5 45 instead of the planned 04 15, put more focus on finishing the before bed 5-point checklist quickly Where I lost time: I didn't measure very accurately, but I can definitely say I lost 5 minutes from morning routine to pomodoro transition Then I left home 25 minutes late so another 25 during pomodoro pauses Then It took me Then It took me about 30 minutes to do calls(Instead of planned 10)and organize to leave to repair bike, since the pro I was planning to have my bike replaced wasn't available It took 40 minutes to get to the other pro and 30 minutes to replace the tube. (Instead of planned 30) resulting in beginning couriership at 15 15 instead of 13 00 already Total lost time: 1h 20m - 80m Note: Accidentally got to bed at 23:16:02. No lies, no discounts, streak reset. Also no food documentation again to manage quicker, it seems it didn't help that much, I still got about 10 minutes late, maybe it even hindered the speed

It would have saved me lots of money possibly, and allowed me to make more deliveries Note: I I got very caught up in cooking and didn't wake up very early today so I decided to omit writing of times in the hope it will save some time (Probably it didn't, but that's the reason/excuse)
