Here’s a list of challenges to get you thinking about where you stand right now (in no particular order):
- Do you shower/bathe every day? Uh, Yeah. Not an issue.
- Do you get up at the same time every morning? I do not. I would like to. What time should I do that? It's hard, when you want to club it up. The issues of living a duplicitous life.
- Including weekends? HA! I should get up at 7am during the week and 9am on the weekends. That seems reasonable. [Conversely, that means going to bed at like 11p during the week, and 1p on the weekends... Here lies the problem. Am I willing to accept that life right now? How much of this is connected to the "goals" I have for myself?
- Are you overweight? Yup. It's an ongoing mind-body disconnect.
- Do you have any addictions (caffeine, nicotine, sugar, etc.) you’d like to break but haven’t? That I'd like to break? You should have worded that better. NO! lol.
- Is your email inbox empty right now? Empty for the most part. That's a new thing for me. But that's only at work. My personal email is overflowing... It seemed difficult to stay on top of it all. now... not so much.
- Is your office neat and well organized? Yeah, it is for the mostpart... also a new thing. Trying to keep it up.
- Is your home neat and well organized? Oh, Jesus!! I'm drowning in ADD confusion. My room should just fucking implode or explode or just whatever!! I need to take a trip to Ikea. I need a dresser, desk chair, bookshelf, [wall shelves?]. The kitchen and bathroom are doing well.
- How much time do you waste in a typical day? If we're talking efficient use of time, I could do more in a day. alot more. On a weekend? This is my biggest area for improvement. I don't activate on the weekends. I go fetal. I just fucking go fetal. At least that's what I've been doing lately.
- If you make a promise to someone, what’s the percentage chance you’ll keep it? Please don't ask my friends about me and this one. I should be ashamed.
- If you make a promise to yourself, what’s the percentage chance you’ll keep it? I can find most any way to talk myself into or out of something. I know my buttons and I push, push, push.
- Could you fast for one day? Yeah, i think so. Not really interested in trying though, so I am sure that says something right there.
- How well organized is your computer’s hard drive? It's dense and packed to the brim. I need an external hard-drive, but I haven't taken the time out to purchase one.
- How often do you exercise? Never. I should though. It's been another ongoing issue with me. I hate to exercise. I have never stuck to being physical. Except dancing. I could dance until the end of time. Not dance exercise class though. That seems stupid. Where's my drink and my dim lighting?
- What’s the greatest physical challenge you’ve ever faced, and how long ago was it? Made it to 12 miles during the training for the SF Marathon.
- How many hours of focused work do you complete in a typical workday? I'd say 80 percent was focused. That's good for now.
- How many items on your to do list are older than 90 days? More of the "to-do's" on my personal life list are going undone. That's so that I could focus on my j-o-b. it's the smartest choice i could have made, and i'm glad I made it. Now, however, it's time to switch my focus back to a more balanced perception of my future reality.
- Do you have clear, written goals? Do you have written plans to achieve them? I'm supposed to meet with Jon Newsome to discuss written goals and written plans to achieve them. Make appointment with him this Friday.
- If you lost your job, how much time would you spend each day looking for a new one, and how long would you maintain that level of effort? As hard as possible for as long as necessary.
- How much TV do you currently watch? Not much really. Could you give up TV for 30 days? Yeah, i could do that. 2 years ago, I don't know if that would be true. I actually get a better grasp on reality when I watch television. It reminds me of how basic we all are.
- How do you look right now? A hot mess. lol. What does your appearance say about your level of discipline (clothes, grooming, etc)? I've ignored it up to now but, it really is not playing well with these kids. They infer so many things from appearance. Definitely a different culture and ONLY on one side. it's the side that counts, however. ARGH.
- Do you primarily select foods to eat based on health considerations or on taste/satiety? I know how to select based on health considerations but lately i've chosen to go with taste and mostly, satiety.
- When was the last time you consciously adopted a positive new habit? Daily, fuckin daily. Discontinued a bad habit? Nope. I'm attached to all my bad habits right now. They are serving a purpose. Once I figure out a way to handle life without them, I will. [ha!]
- Are you in debt? Yes. Do you consider this debt an investment or a mistake? Some of it is an investment. I took out alot during those years BUT how else was I supposed to get through college. Some of the debt is just ridiculous spending though. All of it needs to be cleared up though! The plan in to go through AEP.
- Did you decide in advance to be reading this blog right now, or did it just happen? Aw, go to hell. lol.
- Can you tell me what you’ll be doing tomorrow? Yes, but only because it's a weekday. Next weekend? Nope, i'm not thinking that far in advance but I could and should! I used to but have not been lately.
- On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your overall level of self-discipline? 6
- What more could you accomplish if you could answer that last question with a 9 or 10? Everything I set out to do!
