If there is one thing worth committing to, it's your education. Whether it's doing well in school, reading a new book, or learning how a language, taking the time to sharpen your noodle is the wisest investment you can make.
"Past two days have been kinda hectic, but filled with self-discovery. I’m learning to take a harder look at myself and how my actions affect others. I’ve been reading a lot of books about how to develop more positive empathetic traits. Tbh, I’ve been a little down in the dumps. But that’s okay, because I’m not special, I’m just like everybody else who feels down from time to time. Today I’m particularly filled with gratitude for the possibility of change and self improvement. Now, Back to my book about tapping into the subconscious mind! "
"I have been studying every day. Sometimes, less than I would like but after realizing the importance of spacing and breaks, I feel that I now know the recipe for success and how to continue. Not constant studying but if could manage that I would, but instead smart, spaced studying to truly absorb the knowledge."
"Aunque el Viernes a la tarde tuvo sus emociones negativas, y aunque me he sentido arriba y abajo con mis emociones por resultado de los síntomas de abstinencia, estoy aprendiendo que me siento mejor cuando no miro videos!!! Se que algunas noches me fui a dormir más triste (porque estuve lidiando con emociones negativas que había ocultado detrás de los videos) pero me hice recordar una frase que me motivó a seguir luchando: "Esto también pasará". ¡Que importante recordar eso cuando me siento mal! Es genial todo lo que he podido hacer con mí tiempo libre (ahora siento como si tengas muchísimo más tiempo libre, y me siento mucho más tranquilo con mis clases, mí descanso, mis relaciones, etc...), y estoy contento de poder compartir este viaje con mí padre celestial y terrenal, tanto como con mis amigos y amigas :)
SEMANA 2 ADELANTEEEE!!!"
"I've had several excellent days so far, finishing ahead of schedule on all days and with more than 90 minutes to spare today.
My Keys have been
- Make clear and actionable next actions
- Start tasks in descending order of difficulty
- Eliminating fake work by constantly questioning whether a task helps me achieve my desired goal.
- Strategic outsourcing

"Howdy!
I just set this up today. It's mid-semester and I have not attended a full week of classes since the second week of school. Some weeks are better than others but I am falling more and more behind. I need to turn this semester around, and this commitment is how I'm gonna do it.
Here's to getting stuff done!"
"Lots of progress today. Woke up with a visualization of the life I want, then taught a class to one of my favorite English students. I followed that with an art therapy session, and then picked up my prescriptions! Afterwards, I went to another therapy session and later hung out with a friend that I hadn't seen in some time. We talked about our emotions, authenticity, the biz, and our shared struggles. We suggested books and reading material to each other, discussed the merits of zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, and the metascripting method over a nice cup of tea. Then we showed each other music that we'd both been working on. It was a nice day to reconnect. I then went and got a quote for some items in my life that were not serving me right now, to give myself an edge in the upcoming weeks. Followed that by going to the gym, and afterwards submitting to projects and working on material for my open mic night on Monday. Then I wrapped up with a bit of SMFA work for today, which ended with me cold-reading an article from the ACLU with wild abandon. Also ate healthy today!
Pretty full up, but also full of self-determinancy and connection. I've got a lot to do to work on myself, but it's nice to have a busy, successful day every now and then. "
"Teaching The Mighty Culture (R)
Can you see the culture, always? The answer is not, culture has two main components which are visible val
ues, invisible values. Examples of visible values are people wearing clothes, talking and eating style, and then second is how they think, what is important for them, religions. How about clarifying examples more details.
What is the importance of culture? How does it influence your life? What does being Turkish or American mean? Before that, let’s define culture is how and what you eat, talk, sharing something or any kind of activity that you are doing. How about going to the early age of humans? Imagine that you are living in one antique clan among Egpyt, China, Spain or France. What would you like to eat and want most, how do you talk and eat? Do you think it is the same for all clans if you are living with each of them? The answer is not same. What do causes clans to become different? Actually, many factors are behind this phenomenon. Firstly, for instance, you can eat limited food ranging from wheat to camel in Egypt Clan, and this can affect people’s behavior who live there what they eat, and how they eat. Furthermore, that area is surrounded by deserts, in other words, it is protected from enemies attack. As a result of those that I mentioned before, those impacts Egpyt Clan’s people to interact by themselves not interactions of other countries, and then that culture has been creating by natural environmental situations. Secondly, people’s interactions with themselves and with others influence aborigines to create their own culture by using some patterns which are teaching styles wearing styles, etc. Furthermore, when they try to understand how some natural events to occur and then they attempt to explain some of the natural disasters, as a consequence of this they created religions. Later on, religions impact local public how they eat, and what they eat, how they talk, and how they interact with others, as a result of this, modifying culture are accelerated increasing.
To sum up, culture is not stable, and it is always changing situations to situations, from time to time, from people to people. Learning the importance of its system causes us to know how to teach to others more efficiently.

"Managed 20 hours this week.
15 hours transferring images to Lightroom from trips to Stockport Plaza, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Highlands of Scotland. Picked my best photos by making collections in Lightroom and made a few edits.
5 hours recovering lost photos from the Highlands and Stockport Plaza (accidently deleted 500+ photos), installing an extra back up system for external hard drives and watched videos on YouTube called The Art of Photography to gain more knowledge on composition.
BONUS 6 hours 15m listening to photography podcasts at work about Photoshop, other photographers practice and finding your photography mojo to make it 26 hours 15 mins altogether.

"I'm a bit behind percentage wise, but it's just because I replaced some books with a massive one that I want to finish by end of year - I should be able to get it done"
"Downloaded an app called "EnVision" to guide my intention setting and visualization of the future I want. It only takes 10 minutes, so I think it will be a great way to prime my days for success. I've set an intention to not try to force things, but to trust that they will arrive. I did more SMFA work, and joined a group online to find an actor mastermind. I practiced self-care and foam rolled my legs. I Recorded a demo take of a song I'm working on. I wonder if there's something wrong with my Martin, but I'm not sure. I researched a list of 20 schools near me to cold call for my small business. I also selected a final headshot proof, and I can't wait to see the end results! Found an open mic night to go to for next Monday. Budgeted expenses for the next 3 weeks and did financial projections prior to my trip at the start of November. Things are looking up right now, but I gotta keep putting in the work. "
