Need NLProgramming Re-Write on Breaks

My programming (P->T->F->A = Results... or whatever the SoMM programming is) with regards to breaks is not as good as it should be.  It is OVER SIMPLIFYING a complex topic.

For instance, when I get going, there's no need to break from making calls for 2.5 hours other than I actually am breaking down and need it.

Not the same as a task where you can get super intense for 50 minutes given a 10 minute break.  All the little negative emotions I can absorb and beat.  In fact, going WITHOUT a break is the secret to a larger size, because when I take a break at 8:30am I am letting the human side take control.  If you've got a lock on 5, that's a tough thing to get, and giving into a break is just letting the size plop right back down to a 4 or 3 a lot of times.

Think about it, and then REWRITE IT.  There's a better way.

Morning Ritual Addendum + CDH Reminder

Morning Ritual Addendum

"Wake and Vape" voids the ritual.  If you vape before your shower, you've failed the ritual.  

The ritual is:

1. Get out of bed without snoozing.

2. Drink half water pre-workout.

3. Start workout within 5 minutes of getting out of bed (5 min for water + music.)  Do not vape.

4. Drink half water post-workout and jump in shower ASAP.
Optional: Begin a meditation going into the shower.

5. Done.  Vaping now allowed.  Goal is to HAVE LEFT for work by 5:30 every day, but anything after the shower is currently "Post-Ritual" and up to you.

CDH Reminder

At 7:00PM, you must start winding down your mind.  CDH activities must stop immediately, thinking about work needs to go away.  7-8 is RE-TIME, 8-9 is BEDTIME.

Q2 PTC Day 37

CDH: 4:15pm - 6:45pm (2.5 hours)

Prior goals:

"
-mint.com
-organize papers
...
CDH goals (today and moving forward)-get laundry-solve cindy email addresses issue-fix the leaf on that tree-clean room-clean up house / organize-money system to align my actions with my strategy.-plan for roars moving forward... remainder of q2 and q3 goals, 2016 goals should be defined, ideas in place that i can hold myself accountable too.  goals should be very achievable and scale up.  need to be able blow it out of the water."

Leaf, cindy emails, boxes, laundry are all done.

Now what's left:
-cleaning the house... lower pri... this really a "free time on saturday" kind of thing
-mint.com -- medium pri (money system)
-plan for roars moving forward -- high pri

Mint should be quick and because it attends to roars, I want to do that first, but since its lower pri i dont want it taking up all the time.  So 30 min to mint, then 30 min to planning.  4:30pm - 5:30pm.  GO GO

Mint: Next Steps...

1. Label bills properly, so it can categorize everything according to actual spending.

2. Set budgets correctly, so post tax income is split up correctly.

3. Apply SoMM, setup additional bank accounts if necessary.

4. Set Goals and Modify budgets if needed.

5. Plan for when to check and review.

ROARS: Plan Objectives and Goals

Objectives: 

NOT goals -- these are hurdles that must be overcome to get to the next step.  Think of it like missions in Red Alert -- These are what needs to be achieved to win the mission.  There's no timeline for these, they are simply markers, the timeline is the goals.

Goals: Minimum Goals and SMART goals.  

Set BOTH for:

-Remainder of Q2 2016

-Remainder of 2016 (set these as "too easy" and I will ramp them up to start off Q3)

Minimum goals: The bare minimum goals that need to be met to be considered moving forward at a reasonable pace.  If these were set for an employee I was paying $10-15 an hour (10-20 hours a week), this is what I would expect to get done, if they didn't hit these they'd be on track for getting fired.

SMART Goals: These are standard goals that I want to achieve, if I achieve these I consider myself an active entrepreneur (even if I'm still in that "wannapreneur" phase):

SMART stands for the following -- ASK THESE Q'S WHEN GOAL SETTING:

S – Specific (or Significant).  Is it specific enough?

M – Measurable (or Meaningful).  Can it be accurately measured?

A – Attainable (or Action-Oriented).  Do I know the steps & can I determine if it's attainable?

R – Relevant (or Rewarding).  Is it the next step?  Is it the highest priority?  

T – Time-bound (or Trackable).  When is it due, and what is the timing of it's steps (see Attainable)?

Forget shooting for the stars and hitting the moon.  A real entrepreneur aims for the moon and hits the moon.  After all, JFK wasn't aiming for the stars.  Time to grow up and set realistic yet challenging goals, and to counter-balance that with minimums that there's no reason I shouldn't achieve, so I can see where I end up in the middle (unless, of course, I surpass both.)

TO BEGIN, FOR BOTH Q2 AND 2016 AS A WHOLE, SET EASY SMART GOALS, AND "STUPID EASY" MINIMUM GOALS, TO GAIN A POINT OF REFERENCE.  THINK LEAF & PERC -- TO START, THERE'S REALLY NO GOALS.

That way, you can up the ante as you go, gage Q3 goals according to your performance in Q2, and set smarter 2016 goals after you see how Q2 has gone.

THE GOAL FOR Q2 PTC DAY 38 IS TO SET THE GOALS!!  (Mint.com is not to be worked on until this is complete.)

Q2 PTC Day 35 -- Sunday, at last!

Wish I had the time to dig into this Sunday, but I don't.  Catching up on sleep + Mother's day... bleh..

12pm - 2pm is the goal here.  It is what it is.  If this is achieved, that's a "Y" for Sunday, the other 3 hours are NA simply because there's no time for them.

Cardone Training: What do you need to be more disciplined in.
-"I'm not single: I'm in a relationship with my goals"
-Friends and family: Weddings, weekend visits, etc... I need more discipline here.  Later, when we are celebrating mother's day, if mom wants us to hang out next weekend or the following weekend, I have to say no.  Got too much work to get into.  If I say yes, at this point, it pretty much damns the 90DC -- with all the work with moving, the wedding, and the stress of work, I just dont have that kind of time... it'll need to be a month out... let's say, fathers day.

GOALS TODAY:
-My leaf mailed in from Miami, FL
-Boxes put in garage
-Necessary papers organized an accessible
-Herbal remedies put away
-(optional, if time) Mint.com setup (this is "money system, part 1")

Q2 PTC Day 31

4:00p - 4:30p (mail and post office)
6:15p - 6:45p (DMV address change and traffic ticket payment)

This week is going well, so far.  Good progress towards 5... wheel is slowly moving forward... not as fast as it should be, though.

Fin.

Q2 PTC Day 30

6:35 - 9:30 ... win... lol

The CDH is failing today.  As I write this it is 6:34pm and my willpower is bust.  I am forcing myself on here.

I guess I have to remember that my feelings, thoughts, etc. are all b/s & lies.  Only the original choice matters.  The feelings of the moment cannot reign supreme.

I have to remember that these feelings are... nothing.  I don't have a dagger in my chest.  These feelings aren't that strong.  There's no gun to my head.  These feelings aren't really that significant or powerful at all, I am just tiny by comparison.  And conquering them, by contrast, is everything.  Conquering them is the path to victory.  With it comes deep satisfaction, fulfillment, pride, drive, glory... the list goes on.

The point is the poker game.  Got a top 10 most dramatic intense energy moment, all over $20 that I had already decided to spend.  Whereas, I get into a rut over a CDH and all I feel is depressing resignation.  Why would I not feel more dramatic and intense now, when it really would make a difference?

And that's where the word kicks in.  It's obvious.  My current feelings are worthless.  Just because the feelings I should have aren't there doesn't mean I listen to the lies over the truth.  Action must be taken.  I must win now.

CDH goals (today and moving forward)
-get laundry
-solve cindy email addresses issue
-fix the leaf on that tree
-clean room
-clean up house / organize
-money system to align my actions with my strategy.
-plan for roars moving forward... remainder of q2 and q3 goals, 2016 goals should be defined, ideas in place that i can hold myself accountable too.  goals should be very achievable and scale up.  need to be able blow it out of the water.

Alright... no more nicotine before bed

Alright, this is getting ridiculous.

You should know that having nicotine within 2-4 hours can affect your sleep.  It may not be as bad as cigarettes (you can breath afterwards, for example), but it has a big affect right before bed still.

You keep vaping, going to bed, and then perking up right away.  Stop this now.

7pm cut-off is now the rule.  Suck it up -- you're supposed to have been done vaping by now, anyways.  This will help you quit.

If you can't beat that little, subtle desire to vape at night, how do you expect to be able to conquer all the stronger feelings the next day?  How can you expect to be an entrepreneur if you let something as small as this rule you?
