Blah Bloom Blah

I’m really starting to not like school. Hopefully there’s some way that I can graduate early. College couldn’t come soon enough…

Today I went to class for 4 classes and then me and Trent went back to his casa and chilled. I passed out on his bed and fell asleep and woke up past our lunchtime so we just decided to chill at his house for the rest of the day. That nigga is sleeping right now and I’m just chillaxing playing some web games.

This is posts 2 days in a row…first time ever…

Starting A New Daily Routine

In General on April 21, 2008 at 12:20 pm

Many productivity hack blogs strongly suggest starting and keeping to a daily routine by simply writing out what you envision your day as, or what you need to accomplish. Call it an advanced to-do list.

There are two things I hope to gain from “pre-planning” my day. While writing down what I need to be done it will serve as reflection time for myself and I’ll think of some ideas and projects I should tackle that I would have never thought about if I hadn’t been writing down my to-do list. Another thing valuable that I should gain is self control. Sticking to a pretty strict routine will be hard.

I want to start many various physical and mental challenges in my life as well as some social ones.

There’s an article by Lifehack.org called The Daily Routine of 17 CEOs. Jim Citrin at Yahoo! Finance set out to study the daily routine of 20 CEOs. He found that almost all of the CEOs started to rise very early. This is something that I want to accomplish because I believe my time would be used a lot better if I  can finish workouts and web development work that needed to be done in the evening – during the morning.

The outline of my new daily routine goes kinda like this:

5:30 AM – Wake up
5:40 AM – Begin morning workout (will specify in future post)
6:00 AM – Take shower; begin getting ready
6:30 AM – Be completely ready for classes
6:30 – 7:30 AM – Do web work
7:40 AM – 4:00 PM – School
4:30 PM – 6:00 PM – Do web work
6:15 PM – Evening run (2 miles)
7:00 PM – Reading time
7:30 PM – 9:30 PM – Leisure (free time)
9:30 PM – 10:00 PM – Evening workout
10:05 – Bed & ESPN :)
We’ll see how that goes. It’s a MAJOR change from my current schedule

1st Day Not High

In General on April 21, 2008 at 11:57 am

Today will mark my first official day of not being high in about 3 months. I know I can do it it’s that I just have to find new hobbies to make up for the time. When I smoked there was automatically 3 hours of my time occupied. Now that I’m clean, I’m going to have to find some activities to keep me away from weed.

Here’s some ideas I had in mind:

1. Begin running daily (other workouts as well)
2. Finish and update various client websites
3. Read 1 book every other week
4. Do some community service
5. Spend more time with family
My intitial goal of soberness is 3 months. I want to at least make it 90 full days so I can analyze how weed effected my life while high and how it effects it which is sober. If I feel like I can smoke again and still maintain an active lifestyle then I’ll be tokin’ again, if not….who knows?
