I started off today with good intentions but it all came crumbling down.
My energy was off this morning and I just didn’t have the grit required, and systems in place, to make today a good day despite how I was feeling.
I am so disappointed with how today panned out. I probably only did 4 hours work today, and therefore I’m just going to have to call it a false start, and start again tomorrow.
For a day that started off with hope, it turned into one of my worst days in so long. I just wasn’t able to course correct and I ended up not working, binge eating etc.
This morning I gave into several of my old temptations – food, my phone, and distracted websites. I needed to fight the urge to sooth my mind with other tools such as journalling, time blocking, or meditation.
I feel so disappointed in myself, however I’m glad that I get another opportunity tomorrow. That’s the great thing about life, we keep getting new opportunities until we die, and it’s never too late to make changes,
So tomorrow the plan is:
- Get our 10 hours of work done and make tomorrow day 1 of the 10 hour average challenge
- Get the caloric intake back in order given I only have 12 days left of 75 hard so need to make the most of it – the last 12 days will be under 2,500 calories
- No distracted websites
- No distracted podcasts
My business is crumbling. I don’t really have a business and I’m about to be in a massive, massive spot of bother if I don’t drum up some new work and do it quickly. I can’t afford to coast anymore.
I think one thing I’m going to do from tomorrow onwards is track all of my time for the next 6 months and then review it at the end of every day so I can use that to make better decisions.
I don’t know how to become more mentally resilient and able to push through on days when I struggle. I also don’t know how to run a business and I don’t know how to get out of the position I’m in right now. But I don’t have much time left to turn this around!
Why is my business not working?
- I don’t work hard enough for long enough.
I want to change this, but I don’t know how. I don’t know how to become someone who works hard consistently. But I will start again tomorrow with this being the goal. I must set up my systems to make sure I get 10 hours of focused work done, and push away all distractions.
This will be phone in my room and on airplane mode until lunchtime, no snacks at all outside of meal plan, and not give in when my energy drops
