Q3 PTC Day 15

The whole approach of Sunday is wrong.

Frankly, at this point I'd rather have my alarm go off @ 430am on sunday and have to work on 3 hours of sleep than wake up whenever I want and risk the whole thing failing.

It's 1:30pm.  I woke up at 8:30am.  That is 5 hours of nothingness.  The blanket analogy holds up here.  I didn't want to start, felt too small to begin, so I didn't do anything.

And the morning ritual failed.

It's not that I can't handle work on Sundays.  I've done this a dozen times.

It's not that I can't do a morning ritual.  Last week I did one every day WITHOUT snoozing.

I think it's a lack of discipline and structure on Sundays.  On week days, I have to constantly race the clock, and not snoozing is essential to getting a workout done on time and getting to work early enough to have a nice power hour.

On Sundays, I can get started whenever I want, so I get started as late as possible.  I don't have to follow a schedule, so I don't.

I don't have time for this.  My next 2 Sundays are already booked to parents and Sarah.  After that, I have to hussle to get as much done as I can before Thanksgiving and Christmas.  And then I have to make more serious decisions like do I sacrifice some skiing or some ROARS.

And at the end of the day, a big missing component to ROARS is that I am not organized enough to be able to work for myself.  Think of Brendan's Realtor friend.  He is very disciplined and organized without a boss.  I will need to be that way too if I am to have any chance of succeeding as an entrepreneur.
