Notes from my stream of consciousness writing #60

• Tika said write down your goals including your daily goals. So in addition to reading my long-term goals, I'll write my daily goals on paper every day.
• When time blocking/scheduling my day I'll try not to pack too much in one day. I'll give myself leeway so I can actually stick to my schedule instead of being overwhelmed.
• My family is going away for a week so I'll have the whole week to myself, I'm freer than usual. I don't want to just game a shitload and be a bum. It'll be a real test of how well I can control myself. I'll balance my day with things I want to do and things I want to get done.
• Chase said to try something new this week. Should I go to spin class? I'll think about what I want to try.

Notes from my stream of consciousness writing #56

• Niels said I need to use a calendar like him. I feel resistant towards using a calendar. I should still do it regardless, make a plan I want to follow instead of being a tyrant.
• Haven't been walking regularly for weeks. Walking should be a staple again, especially when I have the morning free.
• My fans want me to stream more. I should definitely get back into it. I should schedule streaming on a bidaily or even daily basis. It could force me to play the flute, which is in line with my goals.
• In addition to streaming if I want to have content for my daily videos I have to read whenever I have time. It'll be a packed day where I can't waste any time. That might be a good thing. I should try it.

Notes from my stream of consciousness writing #54

• This morning I again got my workout in before breakfast. It's good to wake up early, I got up before 7:00 a.m. Let’s make this a habit.
• Again, today I'll try to refrain from checking my phone for no reason.
• I'm trying to be thankful throughout the day. On my phone, I wrote, "Thanks for everything, I have no complaints whatsoever." Trying to repeat it like a mantra. I think repeating that is better than a manifestation mantra like, "You are monetized."

Notes from my stream of consciousness writing #53

• This week onwards I want to get my phone usage handled.
• Treat your phone like a drug addiction.
• If you get your phone usage handled you can have a much better life in one year and a remarkable life in 5 years, a life that people remark about. (Cal Newport said that.)
• The difficult part is going to be checking my phone for no apparent reason, just picking it up and checking it by habit.
• If I get this handled, it'll drastically change my life.
• I spend 4 hours on my phone every day so it's extremely important that I get my phone usage handled. It's the difference between an old infant and a remarkable life.
• It'll be an ongoing struggle. Will need to review my progress on a regular basis.

Notes from my stream of consciousness writing #52

• Weekly review. Well the week started off pretty badly with me slacking but then the last 3 days I started exercising in the morning before breakfast.
• I need to add stretching into my daily routine.
• I haven't felt any difference in motivation or anything like that from NoFap. maybe NoFap works for some people and not for others? It's been 19-20 days of NoFap.

Notes from my stream of consciousness writing #51

• I watched Steve Harvey for the second time telling me to write down 300 things I want and he said in a year's time 30+ things that's 10%+ will have come true. He said, “I dare you.” The first time I didn’t take action. This time I did.
• You have not because you ask not. Write it down. Read it every morning and night. In Steve Harvey's case, 300 things.
• This is a form of manifestation I'm willing to do.
• I have 50 on my list right now. You are as flexible and strong and look like Bruce Lee, you enjoy daily exercise, you are a flute master, I didn't mention anything about pets but I said you don't have to worry about vet bills, just a bunch of different ways of saying you're ridiculously rich.

Notes from my stream of consciousness writing #50

• Iman's phone diet video said if you want to succeed, the first step is to cut down on phone time. That is so true.
• This morning I haven't checked any of my notifications, I'll do that after lunch.
• How about this for my morning routine? Wake up, stream of Consciousness writing, workout, breakfast, walk.
• I should read Atomic Habits again. Chase was telling me that I should read one chapter and implement it, one day at a time.
• I should calendar today. Flute would be good today it's been two weeks since I last played.

Notes from my stream of consciousness writing #49

• Regarding manifestation, is it really worth thinking about it all day every day? I just wrote on my phone home screen again, make the best videos you can. That seems like a better focus than, you will earn a shit ton of money.
• I have to make more videos in addition to my daily videos. Like my kevjumba video pulled in a new sub who watches me daily. I can pull in new people using catchy topics.
• I should at least try imagining I have everything I want as I'm falling asleep. That’s from the book, Feeling is the Secret.
• Remember, the most important thing above all else is to feel good now and be thankful.
