Day 524: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 72: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well no matter how small 
-Pomodoro output goals completed day 5
-Afternoon workout
-Reducing the time of reading the answer explanations in the theory learning platform when I got the answers ight. Clarification: when I realized it is not affecting my "green lamp" rating, because i have the indicators that do, which is just ocmpletion of the tests and videos, its okay to get the answers wrong and repeat them, and i think it would be a lot faster than reading answers which i  get right, and even if i do, do it as skimming.

1 Thing I could do better
-Plan a contingency to go back to the stairs if it is raining while working out because i wouldn't like my phone and shoes to get wet

3 Things I did well no matter how small 
-Pomodoro output goals completed day 6
-Managing to prep food and cook within 74 minutes as i was quite focused
-12 conc. units

1 Thing I could do better
-When having big meal days, avoid eating the carrot in the evening it is huge even when it's just olive oil. then there was lentils added, and a carrot on top of that - too much. When i dcked to get a sponge to wash the dishes out of the closet i felt a sharp pain in my side even thoug 2 hours passed since i finshed eating. I might have made some damage since i was so full which brings me to write this.... if i eat so much volume i amy do even more damage in the future and health coems first...

Although It's 22 16 now and I planned to go to sleep at 22 00, 
tomorrow I plan to wake up at 05 20 to clean the house. 
I guess I should have remembered to plan to go to sleep at 21 today because of cleaning the house tomorrow, 
which didn't happen cause i didn't plan the week?
[To make this happen probably a weekly schedule is needed to have a plan of when i wake up and go to sleep every day or alternatively make these times fixed and in case i need to plan the week or clean the house drop another activity with the equivalent 40 min or 1hr accordingly]

Food schedule update 10.4-24.4 (Not including 24.4):
Everything remains the same, BUT
1. 70g of uncooked rice are added daily
2. 20g of almonds added daily

Notes:
1. Two weeks ago I forgot to change the day order as planned as explained on March eleven but this week gotta remember to stick to it
2. My weight on 3.4.10 was 53.10kg with clothes and flipflops on Today 10.04.25 it was 52.95 with clothes and flipflops on (7:16 in the morning before food, after fast day today, on 3.4 didn't document the hour but it was after fast day too so it seems)
3. I plan to slightly increase amount of running by 5-20 minutes, hadn't yet decided exactly how much, will update as I do, perhaps in the next food update, that is also why partly I added the above foods, the other part is that I'm underweight.
4. Anyway rice has a high glycemic index so we'll see how it works

Food schedule update 24.4-8.5(Not including 8.5) 
1. uncooked rice to be replaced with 350g of potatoes for the next two weeks. (once the cooked rice runs out so that I have a full two weeks to measure one vs. the other, no need to cook the remaining dry rice. If I wish, I may cook it the week after if I decide to return with more rice, and measure that it'll be exactly enough by the end of the next schedule change)
2. dropped 10g of edamame now 230 daily.
3. Also if I am to run in the morning on Thursday, the schedule is to remain as the other week without changing the day order
4. 10g of almonds to be added daily on top of what already was added
May still be edited until 24.4

3 Things I did well no matter how small 
-75% effort run
-Finishing pomodoro output goals even though i was going with a serious delay
-Included 8 hours of sleep in schedule +-

1 Thing I could do better
-Maybe lack of sleep is the cause but i was very nonchellant throughout the day, whether with weighing myself, planning food plan or other stuff. I guess once I started going off schedule it dragged.
Remember to rewrite the schedule once there are 30 minutes delay, so that \I'd be back on track and can increase the chances of less delay and increase urgency

-When planning the next day, reduce theory studies and pomodoros if 8 hours of sleep standard is not met, if not, p.game prompt. Whatever it takes to reach 8 hours. I believe I´m doing a lot more harm in he long run with this lack of 1 hour and possibly i´d recover it throughout the day with hightened responsivenes and senses

Can you say if your thought processes today are very different to what they were 3 years ago? If they are different then explain how?

You have stated in the past that Good use of binary choices leads to success. Staying clear of pitfalls is instrumental in changing one’s thinking. 

My thought processes reset to what they were three to four years ago if I lack communication, physical fitness, learning and challenges at my work.

-Try reducing olive oil yet again. This thing might be harming my stomach, brain and skin. I mean I'm not ure it's the olive oil, but something in my nutrition is. Because I'm feeling constatn tiredness after dinner, and eczema increase, eye dryness and mind fog. For now it is manageable but if I continue like this i'm doing irreversible damage which might end up in cancer etc. etc. Must take this very seriously

1 Thing I could do better
-I really need to find a way to replace olive oil, I think it causes extra sleepiness because of problematic assimilation. Generally need to devote a big time chunk to editing the food plan according to what the nutritionist told me, although that needs to be done before the food schedule change tomorrow and not yesterday, that's still one important thing to improve.

Oh well, my thought patterns might be slightly different but the core remains the same.
I would not want to be 180 degrees different either I guess.
That's a difficult question to answer.

I can say that however I changed a lot of things in my routines, and i have accomplished quite a few goals. Regarding my thought patterns, it's too complicated to answer, because they're not visible. (Like unless you're a monk who meditates 4 hours a day, and even then it's not probable that you will follow all of the thoughts that come up in your head)

Maybe if you make the question more specific it could help me better answer. What do you mean when you say "thought pattern change?"
 

[Amphibian220]

Where do you feel most of your self worth comes from, or what pushes you the most and drives discipline?

entertainment centered

spouse centred

family centered

work centered

money centered (different from work centred)

friend/enemy centred,

self centred (catering for oneself, being ingenious in finding solutions without asking for outside help)

principle centred

There is going to be a spread, maybe like 50 per cent in one and 50 percent in the other. When i encounter difficulties at work, i revert to entertainment (like playing sports) to experience success.

Entertainment No
Spouse No
Family Maybe I care a lot about what my father thinks
Work centered I guess my long term goal is work centered.
Money centered this is also important as money provides a lot of time freedom, possible health and knowledge which may help with the achievemen of goals
frien/enemy centered - Guess not, although I do care about what my apartemt mate thinks and of course wouldn't like to "anger" him because then he does't let me focus 😉
self-centered I'm not sure about this... Maybe? If I moved to another country and didn't want to ask for help and did everything myself to prove I can does that count?
Principle centered - Honesty is very important to me, bu i guess there are principles that are important to any person, so i don't know if this counts.


Does that answer your question?
Also please further clarify about the "self-centered" part

Yes it does count. 

Self centered business people prefer keeping their business small and managed themselves rather than allow partners in who can disagree with them. I knew a businessman that personally checked the work of his employees to be sure its of high standard. Self centered people don't like compromises and shared decision making.

The author of this book says principles centre is the hardest centre to have, but the best one. People that are heavily grounded in work, but then lose it due to circumstances outside their control can become negative he claims. The principles centre does not allow any one thing (like games, work or spouse) to become too big a part of you.
