Run a tight ship!
Star this Commitment
Week 4 of 4
geepanino commits to:
Keep a tight schedule: every weekday I will complete a total 1-1.5 hours of exercise, 1.5 hours of creative work or personal projects. Weekend: 4 hours of creative work plus 1 hour of big-picture thinking and planning for week ahead. If I miss 1-2 events planned for the week I can reschedule for the weekend, but won't miss more than that. Finally, I won't eat sugar or drink alcohol except for one weekend day.

| I've learned so many times not to try and do too many things at once. Here I am learning again. Just remember, I brush my teeth every morning now. One tiny little habit I used to suck at that I tried to change for decades. I can build others too. But it's easier to do one at a time | |

I think I did well until Thursday. The problem I always have with these type of commitments - when I try to be everything that I ever want to be in one fell-swoop is that once I give on one small thing, it gives me the excuse to give on everything. One tiny little break from the goal and I give up. So. Is this the wrong type of commitment? Or, if I have so much money on the line, if I pay out is that really going to motivate me? It's something I haven't tried yet. I've tried say, $100 on a gym for a month or so. Also I was sick last week. but who cares. I should be taking better care if I'm sick. What I really want/need to do is change the attitude that if I screw up, get out of line, that it's an excuse to give up on trying. That would be a more valuable outcome. So it pains me to do so but I will cough it up! This week is already a little wonky with the holiday, so I will at least give myself the liberty of starting from Wed. How can I rephrase this going forward to help me with not giving up on everything if I screw up on one little thing? I feel like I'm avoiding the main goal by focusing on the supporting goal. The main goal should bring the supporting goal along with it to bolster it. To be the best that I can be with my creative pursutes that delight the senses and stimulate the intellect, I need to be clear-minded, I need to be disciplined, I need to feel good by eating and exercising well. So that will be my new take. The main goal comes above all else and the others support it - the roughly 12 hours of creative work a week needs the support of the other habits, but this is my focus, this is my rock. No more running away. And if this fails, then I will cough it up! |
