Journal for Monday, May 10th, 2010

A pretty solid day of production… Had a diligent workout this morning of lats & biceps. Accomplished a ton of errands today, including several bank runs. Once I got to the heart of my work today, a lot of good progress was made on the website development of a new campaign project for my strategy firm. A solid brand name was chosen. The domain name was acquired. A website design was established. The website development is now underway, as well. I’m looking forward to completing the initial development of this campaign so that I can launch it into the market. I will also need to recruit a market researcher, dealmaker, & copywriter for my team soon. This is a very nice venture. :D

I had a really fun day today celebrating Mother’s Day with a lot of our relatives. Connecting with my cousins was an especially fun time. We played basketball and had fun talking throughout the day…telling jokes, reminiscing, and chatting about life. Lots of laughs. I wasn’t too productive today, but it was a good trade for the fun I had with family. When I got home from that event, I spent some time working on campaign plans for my strategy firm. This is coming together quite nicely so far and I want to launch it as soon as I can. I also had some pretty good insights on human achievement as well.

Current Status Updates

Sunday @ 10:59am ET – Going to go push myself to workout right now, despite wanting to remain comfortable and not do it.

Sunday @ 7:45pm ET – Just got home from a day of fun with family. Had a blast playing sports & connecting. :D

Today’s Notes

Sunday @ 10:50am ET – Human motivation is the key to unlock virtually everything you want in life.

Rode the momentum up & down today, but it turned out pretty good, since I found a good strategic optimization for a campaign that I want to launch for my strategy firm. This could be pretty awesome, so that is exciting. I will have to rearrange my schedule some to take it on, but things may be more optimal day-to-day for me. I drafted an overview of the initial plan today. This took up a lot of my time and I didn’t get to much else today, besides working out. My focus has been volatile lately, so I did work on reigning that in to properly reset it. Looks like a lot more development work coming up for me soon again. :shock:

Current Status Updates

Saturday @ 6:40pm ET – Feeling some solid momentum today. Just completed a solid workout of back & delts. Going to go work on some campaign planning for my strategy firm.

Today was pretty fun. I got a decent amount accomplished. A transformer blew up right by my house and knocked my power out for a while. I had fun at a family dinner where there was some good connection & conversation going on. After dinner, I worked on recording a video podcast and DAMN this is going to be very hard to do. I now feel a lot more respect for those good at creating video presentations, because it is very hard for me to do naturally & fluidly. It is often the problem of not knowing what to say within the general points I want to make. This screws it all up and, tonight, I ended up recording a couple hours of video for a simple 10 minute podcast. I don’t even know how much of it will be usable. So, my content creation commitment is going to likely prove to be A LOT tougher than my stacked physique commitment has been. However, I’m not backing down and am going to push to build myself into a capable video communicator.

Friday @ 8:52pm ET – Just got back from a fun family dinner and am now going to record some new video content.

Journal for Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Another day of productivity. I’m continuing my daily workouts & study of accounting. I’m continuing to enjoy riding my bike in the spring weather, which helps my mindset. I’m really trying to shift my focus now to creating multimedia content through my personal brand, as part of my new content creation commitment. It is a tough transition to make that takes a lot of diligence to push through the discomfort of doing it in the moment. I’m very confident that I’m going to pull through and start cranking the podcasts out soon. Today, I finished making notes for a human achievement podcast episode, so I look forward to creating & publishing that one very soon. Moving forward in my production!

Current Status Updates

Thursday @ 12:26pm ET – Finished up my workout of chest & abs, lunch, and now going to continue my study of financial accounting.

My alarm clock did not go off this morning, so I wokeup late and this threw off my flow & mindset of production that I have been in lately. I didn’t get around to starting my work until later on. When I did get to work, I did a pretty good job today of being diligent. Studying more accounting & definitely completed my workout today. Also, I sat down to record a video podcast but ended up needing to go purchase more gear that I needed. I’m so close to starting to podcast, so I should be up and running soon! This will be awesome when I am finally cranking out the multimedia content for my content creation commitment. This will likely take some getting used to, as far as the creative & production aspects go. I’m looking forward to this! I’m now going to try to get to sleep so that I can wakeup productive tomorrow morning. And I need to make sure my alarm is working now. Fuck that thing! :???:

Today, I persevered through a lot of work and got a good amount accomplished. At the end of the day now, I am spent due to my production & recent lack of sleep. I’m happy though about today’s productivity. I’m consistently completing finished product work. Today, I completed a workout, a chapter in a financial accounting textbook, a key page of copy for a project, and more. It all added up to a lot of hours of diligent production and is helping me to get into a better operating position, versus one-off development. I’m going to try to get more sleep tonight and kick more ass tomorrow! :D

Another successful day of production for me overall! I started out with a great workout of side delts & hamstrings, which got me going mentally. Unfortunately, I fell asleep for a couple hours during my studying of financial accounting. I’m going to try to not do the studying in my bedroom in the future, so it is harder to fall asleep. I had fun working in a couple parks during the day & evening and made some solid progress here on developing social networking strategies & writing key page content for Open Achievement. I wrapped up my work for today just now a bit before midnight, so I’m going to try to get to bed now soon. I’m really feeling excited about my productivity & progress these days! :)

Current Status Updates

Monday @ 8:31am ET – Feeling a lot of momentum this morning. Just completed a solid workout of side delts & hamstrings. Now going to hit the books and study financial accounting.

Monday @ 8:55pm ET – At the park writing copy for Open Achievement as the sun goes down.

Today’s Notes

Note @ 11:53pm ET – Production of personal progress is a great way to feel happiness, momentum, & connection with others in life. The effort is worth it and everything builds upon itself over time.

Today was pretty slow for me. It started off with being really tired due to lack of sleep from maintaining my day schedule. After a few hours, I got around to my workout and then studied more financial accounting into the afternoon. I spent some time catching up on communications and also worked on the Open Achievement website some this evening. Later on, after working, I went out for a pretty refreshing bike ride, which I probably should have done earlier. I’m going to try to get more sleep, if I can, in order to have more energy & momentum throughout the day. I need to! Overall, still a productive day. :)

Current Status Updates

Sunday @ 7:25am ET – I love cloudy & rainy days during the springtime. Old cheesy physics videos from the 1980s go so well with them. I can’t resist, I must watch. ;-)

Sunday @ 11:52am ET – Just diligently worked out mid back & front delts. Now going to go study some financial accounting for a while.

Sunday @ 11:01pm ET – Just got back from a 5 mile bike ride after a long day of work. Now going to hit the shower and then try to go to bed.

I just wrapped up a very long day of about 14+ hours of diligent work. I want to keep pushing on, but I’m finally on a consistent day schedule so I have to go to bed now in order to wake up and do it again tomorrow morning. Damn, I’m proud of myself today!

Today was a pivotal day for me, because it formally kicked off a few special initiatives that are likely going to have a meaningful impact on my life. First up, I began my pursuit of technical financial knowledge, that I am publicly tracking here, by starting to study financial accounting. Second, I publicly reaffirmed my militant production identity shift that has increased my daily productivity by a ton. Third, I launched my brand new public commitment to consistently create content through my personal brand, titled My 2010 Content Creation Commitment, which is modeled after My 2010 Stacked Physique Commitment. I also updated several people within my personal network on my stacked physique progress & new content creation commitment.

I also enjoyed playing outdoors in the rain for a while today! :razz:

Going to bed now, because it is sexy.

Current Status Updates

Saturday @ 2:20pm ET – Just finished up my first day of financial accounting study for my technical financial knowledge pursuit.
