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 a language, taking the time to sharpen your noodle is the wisest investment you can make.
"Since I'm just starting this commitment I searched on YouTube about the coverage of lessons that are included in the entrance exam. I've seen one video that covers what I actually need and today I planned what I will be doing daily for this commitment. "
"Did one page of the paper today relatively late into the evening. This page will contribute to the thesis. As this is the first day, I will count only having done one page as fulfilling the terms of the day, but tomorrow, not completing at least two pages will result in a failure."
"Based on what I learned today, how can I improve tomorrow?
Seriously consider NOT creating any more stickk commitments until 26 June 2022 to prevent burnout!
As of right now I’m acknowledging that I’m really close to Burn out. Thankfully I’m able to delete my Todist and Beeminder.
I’m also thankful that a large portion of my stickk commitments are honoured as of 31 August 2021, and class doesn’t start until September 8th"

Epsy’s friend told Henry clay that.

One step
Then another
Then another
Little by litter
1% each day
“Keep coming back, it works when you work it” (NA mantra)
The power of habits (James clear)
The power of the process
Follow the process and not the prize...as in...HOW I do things is more important then WHAT i do
For instance like I was telling my therapist about my stickk commitments
That yes… I admit that some of the wording or even some of my stickk commimtnets are little weird, wacko, strange or outright WHAT the fuck?
But….trust the process
The process of Stickking to your goals
Coming back each day, despite how I feel
Learning to trust myself when I commit to something
Having other people learn that I am in fact a man of my word

"based on what I learned today, how can I improve tomorrow?
Subordinate my ego. Prioritize Stickk and Journaling. I don't currently have the energy to manage
1. 20+stickk commmitments
2. Journaling
3. 18-20 beeminder
4. Todist
Do what I can, with what I have, as long as I am able.
Prioritize the limited energy I have, to achieve what I've committed to."
"I'm sucking pretty hard at this - without attaching a punishment, I'm failing! I did get a book that related to my subject and went through it which I would say is at least a step. And I pulled out all my book publishing info. I need to contact the press and find out how their process has changed with their new reorg - I don't know if it will make it easier or not but it will be good to know. "
