Book Implementation

Choose a book ({ No excuses! The power of self-discipline) and create:

Reflection

Thoughts

• I think I can start filling up idle time by having goals

Prompts

Focus

Did you complete what you set out to do previously? Are you content with your productivity?

• I feel like it started to wane in the second half of the month as I started socializing and procrastinating more, this is the first time I’ve genuinely been procrastinating which is ngl pretty impressive

Does your calendar (and commitments) match your priorities and values?

• This past week no, but for the rest yes except for videography commitments

Did I do something outside of my plans? How did it influence the week?

• Potentially switching to BCIT
  • Spent a lot of time researching, but I think it was a good chance to re-evaluate my plans

Troubleshooting

System/Tool related issues?

• Not using habitica
  • I don’t see rewards from it, but I should continue using it to keep track of bad rewards and to be more intentional
• Following through my day planner
  • Accomodate for the 1 hour break for eat + nap, and I should be fine
  • Make morning more urgent, start my days earlier
• Goal setting
  • Been setting like no goals, and been making no progress because of it
    • Passively reacting to what I have to currently do, ambitions are gone
      • Just my habits continue to carry me

Workflow/Routine related?

• Morning
  • Excessive time on stocks
    • At least the weekends are fine
• Night

Habit related?

• Stop touching my face
• Getting distracted and not coming back from it
  • Discord, chatting, stocks, irrelevant tasks
    • Almost fucked me over this week with assignments and midterms

Anything else?

Learnings

What is one valuable lesson?

• I’m prone to procrastination

What can I improve on?

• Work ethic and discipline

What should I start/stop doing?

• Revamp daily reminders to be more careful with time management and discipline

The Future

Things to look forward to

• Acing my midterms this month >:)
• PYPL earnings, reselling keeb stuff and mice?
• Starting to plan again

Things (2) to watch out for:

• Continuing to procrastinate
• Not thoroughly studying
