Ubermensch Day #12: Back On Track

Polyphasic sleep: Close to 10 hours of sleep. I need to get back on track again but at the same time, my body needs that sleep because from the heavy lifting from the gym. I was squatting 225 lbs for reps and really pushing myself.

Exercise: n/a. No gym on Wednesdays.

Reading: 30 pages of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink. He talks about “motivation 3.0″, how people need autonomy to become more happier. Motivation 3.0 means working with meaning and deriving deeper satisifcation then Motivation 2.0, where work is boring, and tightly controlled. He also talks about Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

Good bye – chai guy yo
It’s okay (casual) – quin chan na
It’s okay (formal) – quin chan na YO
I’m okay – Nah quin chan na
How pretty (casual) – yup poo da
How pretty (formal) yup poo yo
It’s pretty, isn’t it? (casual) yup poo gee
It’s pretty, isn’t it? (formal) yup poo gee yo

Word of the day: Metempirical (met-empirical, adjective) Beyond or outside the field of experience.

Business: I wrote 1 email today, part helpful advice, part product recommendation for profit. At this rate, it’s going to take me a while to write 52 emails, FML. I need to up the ante by writing 5 marketing emails per day to put into the autoresponder (AKA, spam loader).

Tommorow I will try my best to write 5 emails but most likely 3. At the rate of 3 emails per day, it will take me 17 days to write 52 emails. Not bad, considering I just write it once and be done with it forever.

Content for website progress: 5/50 pages
Email Marketing Follow ups: 2/52 emails
Video marketing: 0/50 videos
SEO Links: 0/50 links

Daily Conclusion:

At the beginning of this year, January 25th 2011, I wrote:

That means, daily:

1. build business [edit: sporadic]

2. exercise [edit: started daily Nov 2010]

3. meditate [edit: didn't complete this habit]

4. read [edit: Yes, daily habit since April when I bought the ebook reader]

5. socialize [edit: Great progress]

I have been writing in a private journal since 2007, and I notice the pattern is, whenever I write down, I eventually get around to doing it, including moving to another city to play poker and starting an Internet biz.

Only thing to speed up this progress is, someone should have told me to “don’t confuse reading with action”. Oh well, live and learn.
