19 Objectives, 150 hours is a failed project for this challenge. I will not hit 150 hours, nor will I get through 19 objectives.
However, the project concept is solid. The only thing that failed was the consistent discipline.
In light of this, and the need to split some excess time to LEAF, there will be some changes ahead.
CDH integrity tracked will now be CDH integrity ONLY. Any planned discipline hour achieved will yield integrity towards my general development of consistent discipline. It is a framework that ROARS is set within, but it is not ROARS. This is a "did you show up" meter of integrity.
ROARS integrity will be measured by hours (average & total) and objectives completed... as it should be.

December '16: Establishing Frame of Consistent Discipline
CDH was the framework for having some sort of consistent discipline extra credit hour I went for every day, to establish a foundation of discipline that I could build ROARS upon.
Now I'm dropping the "H", and setting into place a structure of discipline for Sunday - Friday. It's the same one I've been using, now it's just official across the board, setting up a clear frame for my gladiator context of mental mastery to thrive within.
The key here is to realize that this will take ESCAPE VELOCITY since there's a HABIT GRAVITY of non-action in place set by November, and as an official structure, this is my most extensive and ambitious design yet.
The challenge of December '16 is to achieve escape velocity. This will help me:
- Set the foundation for establishing HABIT GRAVITY in early 2017 of consistent discipline framework.
- Prove I can do it and set a bar to beat in early 2017.
- Grow consistent discipline skills, mentality, and emphasis as a primary goal.
NON-NEGOTIABLES -- the following is over-riding word and it must be followed or the challenge will fall apart incredibly fast. Doing these is what sets this period apart, it's what makes a frame exist, without it this period will be indistinguishable from the rest of Q4.
- SHOW UP for a morning ritual every day, Sunday - Thursday (okay to fail, but at least SHOW UP.)
- SHOW UP for workout 4 days a week every week -- if missed at lunch, reschedule for 330-4 (okay to fail, but at least SHOW UP.)
- SHOW UP for 3 meditations a day, Sunday - Thursday (okay to fail, but at least SHOW UP.)
- Have NO NICOTINE from 11/26/16 - 12/26/16.
- Use Size Sheet hourly during the day, even if it’s with “??” or “NA” fillers.
NEGOTIABLE: Food. Here's the GOALS. Note that the first one will directly impact size for the day now:
- NO FAST FOOD before all work is completed for the day on any given day.
- Max fast food of 2x per week (1x per Saturday.)
- Crockpot dinners for the week on Sundays.
- Daily dinner of steak or chicken + veggies, chilli + veggies, or crockpot premade.
Now on to the specifics...
Unifying Context: MENTAL MASTERY
"Why am I here?" ... the Power Hour starter... for both LEAF, ROARS, and other objectives... is MENTAL MASTERY.
The new implementation, effective immediately, is ACCOUNTABILITY for applying mindfulness size estimation to deal work and ROARS work.
These are both areas that are ready for the next step in mental mastery. I know how to single-out thoughts now and choose. It'll be much easier and better this way, it's worth trying for at least a month.
Sunday Structure Changes:
Default wake up alarm is now 7am.
Default start times: 8:30a goal, 9:00a hard limit (or CDH integrity automatically cut in half.)
IF SO CHOSEN THE NIGHT BEFORE, these can be changed to 7:30/9:30, but this is no longer the default.
ROARS: 4 Sundays, 30 Hours, 8 Objectives
New goal: Apply mental mastery and singling-out thoughts to each hour of ROARS work
Basically goal for Q4 now is to get through stage 1 objectives and put a firm dent into stage 2 (re-doing video 2.) My "far reaching" objective would be to finish video 2 remake.
LEAF: 12 Hours, 3 Objectives
New goal: Apply mental mastery and singling-out thoughts to deal work, tracking size from 10a-11a.
Now basically starting lunch at 11am, and asking me to 1-up thoughts (single-out approach) or face lower size daily.
MINT: Budget @ the end of every month.
One CDH during the final week of every month should be dedicated to paying bills, tending mint, and making the income statement for the month.
Cyrogenics:
This topic will get 1 hour minimum today and the decision made within will be permanently part of word for the rest of my life. You know what the decision is. The hour is to drive into my head WHY.
