Ubermensch Day #6: World Class Efforts

Today feels super productive, and it has only been day #6 into Project Ubermensch.

Polyphasic sleep: Slept for 6.5 hours, from my usual 8-10 hours core sleep. Slowly adjust until the core sleep is 3 hours. Took a nap today. Need to nap 3 times daily.

Exercise: Walked for 30 minutes today. Wednesday I take the day off the gym. (Current gym schedule is Monday, Tuesday, Thurs, Friday, Saturday)

Reading: Read 30 pages of “Good To Great” by Jim Collins, very interesting and eye opening book.

Learn foreign language: 1 hour of Korean today. To become a conversational speaker, people use around 3,000 words [edit: 1k words]. If I learn 5 new words per day, it would take 600 days, or 1.5 years to speak fluently in Korean. However, I plan on upping the learning curve, and learn 15 words per day (through 1.5 to 2 hours of practice). At 15 words per day, that’s 200 days (3000/15), or roughly 6 months. The time will pass by anyways, so why not learn it?

Korean progress:

sorry [alternative] – gomapseumnida (KO MAP SUM ME DA)

Nice to meet you – cheo om boepgessseumnida (chow um, pep get zoom me da)

I am ____ – jeo-neun imnida (chow um _______ im me da)

Yes (formal) – yeh (yay)

Yes (informal) – uh (ah)

No (formal) – ah nee yo (ah nee yo!)

No (informal) – ah nee (ah nee)

Word of the day is amimadvert (vert) – To comment unfavorably or critically. (an-uh-mad-VURT)

——————————————————–

Business: Spent an hour writing an “opt in page”, which is basically a letter convincing people to give me their emails, so I can spam them! No! I meant, keep in contact. It’s a 350 words “sales” copy, I put it on my website.

Next stop is writing a series of email, oh, about 60 emails. 200 words email at 60 is 12,000 words. Why write emails? Because it makes me money.

One project I did a couple years ago made me $15k USD so far, and they still send me checks every week. The project took around 2 weeks to complete. The POWAH of email marketing.

10k a month from Internet Marketing isn’t far fetch, I think. I’ll strive everyday to make it happen.

The other day, I deposit 9 checks that totaled $455 USD. It was kinda embarassing but at least it’s passive income.

Daily Conclusion:

I still have 6 more hours before my 3 hours core sleep. This is gradual, progressive, sustained effort to become an uberman.

The truth is, it just isn’t 365 days to become an ubermensch. It’s a life long progress to become ♥♥♥♥ing great.

Oh well, time to enjoy some anime and relax now.
