CDC 6 Day 10

TRUE INTEGRITY & "N/A"s

Now that I have true commitment, and Landmark's definition of true integrity, it's time to start evaluating things in terms of real integrity.

CDH: "Consistent Discipline Hour": 1 Hr minimum of ROARS work on M-Th and 5 Hr minimum on Sundays.  This applies to every day during the challenge, whether it was a planned day off or not, regardless of emergencies, illness, etc.  There are no reasons.

What about being rational?  Simple - the goal is NOT 100%.  The goal is 70%.  If you have true commitment, then I'm pretty sure your life isn't going to get in the way sooo much that 70% is hard to achieve.

What about vacations?  A whole week just wipes out my integrity??  Sure - simply split up the challenge.  EX: CDC 7.1 & CDC 7.2 during Q3.  Or plan them inbetween challenges.

What about the snowboarding season??  Well, if you're only going for 4 Sundays, set an integrity goal that reflects that, and remember to set aside extra gap room for the Mondays that you're going to be recovering from all the snowboarding.  Frankly, 40% integrity as the goal is OKAY.

INTEGRITY IS NOT ABOUT "GOOD" OR "BAD".  IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF SOLIDITY.  IF YOU WANT 40% SOLIDITY, THERE'S NOTHING GOOD OR BAD ABOUT THAT - 40% IS 40% BECAUSE 40% IS 40%.

From here on out, there shall be NO MORE "NA"s in my integrity sheets (Size, CDH, Frame Discipline, etc) unless it's a sheet that specifically is dedicated to my true commitment integrity itself... and even then, those days should be cut from the challenge, not "NA".

This way, when I look at the percentage of CDH achievement over 90 days, I don't have to ask "How many days of the total challenge does the percentage actually apply to, though?"  It will simply be, "Of all business days in the quarter, CDH was achieved the exact percentage it says right there."  No further questions required.  

You look at the whole object of CDH and you get an exact percentage of how solid it really is, no reasoning or baggage to sort through, no audit required, just a clean and simple look at the real integrity of the thing.

Slides

-Need to make sure audio editing completed first right?

 -not necessary...

1. Get to slides

-What needs to be done with audio editing before i even start slides & why?

-Audio is close enough that it is ready for slides.

-This will also help fine tune edits - if i missed a repeating sentence, its caught when i put in the slide
   -Also, this way I dont need to have script open, as slides will show where I am, making all editing easier.

2. Figure out how to do slides

-Color theme to match web
   -will final web be white?
       -go with standard blue and orange theme.  Works and saves time,right?
          -yes.  fuck it.  web theme will adjust to fit the blue and orange theme later

-Working with animoto:
  -slides will NOT match up perfectly, just get them close so they snap in by using the time clock from your main editor
      -this is also 100x faster than trying to "preview" every slide... that would take FOREVER.
           -EVEN LIKE THIS, IT STILL TAKES 2X+ LONGER than the traditional slides method, since these slides are set to the AUDIO, not the script (the can't be edited much once rendered.)

-animoto tricks you into see "white space" that does not exist in storyboard mode.  see preview to clear this one up.

3. Preview & Evaluating how to do them right
-First mistake - this is not a simple copy and paste of the text.  That's BORING.
  -Even if you change the slide style every time, it won't be great.  It'll just be oddly hooking

-Rewatched X video - they are using WAAAY less words.
  -Basically...
     -Only a couple of highlighted words (selling points)
     -Diagrams and very basic images illustrating their idea (explaining with both pictures and words)
     -Thought out "PRESENTATION" of material.
     -Power-point style of .... wait... did you say... power... point..................
        -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kr2oEwNsoM
           -Little "Jaimie loses his shit" freakout occurs.
              -Bro, the text effects aren't exactly "standard power point" and it's not like you wouldn't have to make your own pictures anyway.  That'd STILL be the hard part, dummy.  Calm down.

 4. Re-framing: Think of it as a presentation, or a "show" - look at it again using the above (first three points, not the powerpoint shenanigans.)

Put into practice... it takes FOREVER... but GRABS ATTENTION like no other.  AIDA FOR REAL.

Effective Immediately: Frame Integrity & "Showing up on time"

Showed up for morning ritual?

Only gets a "Y" if you are following schedule within 15 minutes (ex. Sunday: wakeup is 7:30 - only pass if on schedule by 7:45.  7:47 is NO GOOD!)

Showed up for workout?

Only gets a "Y" if walking through gym entrance doors BEFORE 3:38pm.

Showed up for all meditations?

Only gets a "Y" if final meditation is started BEFORE 6:08pm.

Showed up for CDH?

Only gets a "Y" if either blog post or meditation is started BEFORE:

-SUNDAY: 9:08am and didn't stop before 2pm.

-M-TH: 5:08pm OR 6:08pm (rule is 5pm unless a switch to 6pm is determined in advance.)

As far as CDH integrity, as long as you work an hour, you get a Y - 100%, no half-credits.  It's pass or fail.  Doesn't matter if you do it midnight to 1 in the morning -- the only consquence of this is that FRAME INTEGRITY takes a hit.

This way, I am switching to a more sensible system.  Instead of doing the confusing "I worked 12 hours, but only get 50% 'integrity' because I showed up 8 minutes late", I am doing the "I worked 12 hours and obviously got the "PASS" on the integrity for 'doing what I said I would do', however I didn't keep to my schedule so a got a "FAIL" on integrity for 'showing up when I said I would'.

Switching from a single, convoluted system, to a checks and balances SET of systems that work together in a way that makes perfect sense and doesn't cause issues.

"DO NOT WANT" Troll is a problem on Sundays

Real Consequences

*****GOTO PAGE*****

The whole point of building myself up to a large size person is that as an entrepreneur, there is no outside force keeping me on track.

It'd be great to do it and have real consequences, but at the end of the day, it'll always come down to me.  There is no "getting fired", there are no "write-ups".

So the real consequences fall on my failure to hit my goals.

Some examples:

JAN GOAL: 12 hours.

THIS IS ESSENTIALLY 1 FULL WORK DAY.

But you had an ENTIRE MONTH to get those hours.

And in January, you FAILED to do so.

FEB: 20 hours.

This is essentially TWO FULL DAYS.  In a whole month.

Q1: 60 hours.  THIS IS ESSENTIALLY one full week.  And you have a FULL QUARTER... a FULL SEASON if you will... to get one great week's worth of work done.

If you have, say, 6 months of full time work to get to making a few hundred a month online, and you are progressing at 1 week per quarter, that means you will get there in 6 YEARS.

Even accounting for a better scenario we're talking AT LEAST 2-4 YEARS.

And that's only if you hit your goal!!!  If you get half way to goal, your ETA on success as making a small amount of money online is 4-8 YEARS (in a good-case scenario.)

So take consistent discipline lightly if you want.  But know the consequences.  At your current rate, you will be making a little bit of money online by around 2023, and you will be 34 years old working an entry-level job.

And I'm just guessing.  That could easily be 40 years old, and you could be so demoralized / caught up in family life / etc by then that you could be out of the game completely by then.
