I mostly write to organize my thoughts and keep the motivation going.

Keeping the motivation and discipline is hard. This is really, really hard.

Last night – I ate a whole fucking pizza. The root cause was this total carpe diem mindset to relieve the stress. I was sleeping too few hours and constantly thinking about work. So many high impact projects that had to get over the deadline. And I lost my will to keep things straight. Emptied out the tank.

I need to bring some balance into my world and relationship with work. I am also willing to quit it. Next week will get an idea about comp. Again, I am letting comp dictate how I am going to feel? Fuck that. You gotta do what is right. Don’t bargain with your work. Because then it means you believe you can make a deal with your work. Fuck that.

Don’t try to outsmart shit. You cannot.

Always do the most important thing first. For instance: updating this blog. That’s important. So do it regularly.

Running is important. So do it with priority

One critical thing — I take GTD too seriously sometimes. I end up spending too much time on the processing steps, and not enough on the important actions. I will abate this by using my own memory to prioritize important things, and then consult the list or the GTD process to do the other stuff.

I am writing too much. Not enough action.

Lets narrow things down here:

• Mindset
• Nutrition
• Marathon
• General workout

To run a lot, I need to reduce the cost of starting

Running

• Keep clothes READY TO GO
  • Shorts
  • Jacket
  • Shoes
• Audible queued up
• Make sure you have slept well.
• Enough food
• Go, even if you feel like shit

Cross Training on the bike

• Movies to watch, TV in front of me

It is a regular metric.

make sure you wear tight clothes often man. It’s easy to lose it.

I am lazy. I hate cooking food. I like to have some booze to take the edge off.

I won’t be able to do a radical shift in my personality. So, lets work within what I am to maximize chance of success.

Keep it low carb even with the booze. Use non alcoholic stuff to simulate it as much as possible.

Make it easier for yourself by eliminating most sweets.

And, dont worry. It will workout. Running is a recent proof. So many other proofs over time.

Will listen to Harry Potter audio books while running. Lets see how that goes.
