Hi, I hope all of you've got well into the new year.

Reading more continually
Doing better. It seems like if there's very little time left to do something I feel like more of a choir than something I lust to do (eventhough I know it's not this way, when I think about how I'd like my future to be) then I somehow manage to barely getting done, and just slipping through the needle eye, or so to say not failing, but I'm not learning all the things I want to, and it's often more out of memory. I remember when I just started studying, where I read much more continually then I do now, the things I learned at that time are things I know to the bone, things I can think out a prove of myself, and eventhough the subjects doesn't seem to get harder (it's basically the same procedure each course) then I seem to learn a lot less since the period where I've had a hard time reading. Sorry for the lack of punktums.

So doing better, but it's not like after I'm done with my morning routines, that I just lust reading a good book for my studies, because most of these books are written in a way that I really do enjoy. I've also experienced that if I force myself to read, it'll often only last for very few hours, with a very bad learning rate, I think Steve calls this efficienty, you know your actual work pr. hour, and not just the time you spend at work. I don't know why it's so, it's like I suddenly looses concentration all of a sudden, but I still keep reading, and then I've to read it all over again, I surely hope it won't last for much longer, and I guess it might have to do with it feels like a choir, or to say something you MUST do, no matter if you want to or not, not sure though.

Make a habit of getting up when the alarm clock goes off
Well if I get early in bed, after having done my evening routine it seems like it goes fine, but if I don't then I can often sleep for 10-12 hours, eventhough I usually tries to get 6,5-8 hours, which I hope my body sooner or later will get used to. I'm actually quite positive about this one, because it's at least going better.

Get a habit of going to the gym, and following the program I have.
I haven't been to the gym since I decided that I needed to put more time into reading, well I guess you don't make the weak strong by making the strong weak.

Make a habit of eating what I've written in my diet
Which is going quite fine, though I'm not gaining that much weight then I'm certain it's going fine. I could however probably need some more varity, but I think I need to learn just to write it down, and then get back to it, when I've done my other stuff, you know doing things one by one.

Make a habit of turning off the computer at 20:30
Which I didn't do last night, however I've done so a lot recently. An occasional slip isn't bad at all if you ask me, of course unless it's not occasional.

So maybe a bit progress, though if you look back to the time I started writing in here, it seems a bit like time hasn't moved very much from august to today, that saddens me a lot, but I don't think I can do anything else than keep trying, and try not to slip in those slippery time traps (spending a lot of time on something I know doesn't matter, and I'll think back of with regret just monts later.)

I've thought about something funny, usually it takes me 10-30 minutes to write these logs, and I've noticed that when it isn't going that well, I've a lot more to write, more thoughts to share, and thereby it takes longer than planned to write, but when it goes well, there really isn't that much to say, so you could say that doing what I want, would actually create some positive spiral in my daily pattern, though it would require I'd do it for at least one week (if I can put myself together to log next weekend).

Regards OBO
