Default 30days goal thing...

Things have to change.
I received my GPA couple of days ago, and for the first time, I got below 3.00. Something is not right. So I sat down thinking, wtf am I doing?!!? I keep repeating the same old freakin pattern over and over again.
My biggest accomplishment last month is to finish Fire Emblem 6,7,8 and Breath of Fire II in just 2 weeks.
No, I'm not being thrown out of college. I feel like I've been slapped by the universe. I'm not meant to be in this position... but, I'm kind of... weak right now.
My GPA? I got 2.99 this time.

I want to be better again. I decided to try and used "love energy" this time.
The purpose is to help others.
Probably because reading Steve's post. Hope I don't sound new-agey.
Oh, the number in the bracket indicate the difficulty. From 1 - 10

1. No imageboard, IRC and trolling (8)
-I trolled a lot. I've been banned countless time. And actually felt good.
And this is really hard because I loved the lulz they provided, it made me feel like I'm in illuminati, undersanding joke only certain people will understand.
But, I don't want to end up like them. Things have to go, guise.
I want to habeeb.

2. Plan each day in advance (9)
- This is extremely hard. period. The thing is, I have abnormal sleep pattern. It kind of like polyphasic sleep, but I take around 3 naps with longer time, I usually sleep around 5 hours per day.

3. Polyphasic sleep (7.5)
- Just an extension to my weird sleeping habit. Not much.

4.I review my goals once per 2 hours (9)
-This is hard...

I know I can do this. It's just some small simple ( not easy ) goals.
Planning to post once per 3 days.
These goals... have anyone ever been far even as decided to use to go want to do look more like? (no, you don't need to understand this.)

I might do some programming. I kind of liked programming. I remember that I got an A for my programming class, 'twas easy, my friend.

Hmm sounds like you've got a basis for a good plan, take a look at some of Steve's advice on goal making and maybe take a listen to Sybervision's "Neuropsychology of Self-Discipline"; since you're a net wizard I'm sure you know where to find it.
Also take a read at some of the other people's posts here on goal making and challenge setting (ie. "21-day challenges etc) for some great examples.

Check these out and you should be sorted!

I wish you luck my friend!

no. 1 is easy...

but no.2 & 4 is harder because I'm currently extremely confused with life... what's the purpose that kind of thing..

I guess I didn't put the first thing first.

I'll be back after some time of soul searching.

Goal planning is hardest part. Why? I believe it's because that there is something wrong with the way I perceive reality, I don't see reality as it is.
I need to let go a LOT of beliefs and assumptions. Now, I'm starting at square one. Can't God just appear before me and give me a freaking manual as to how the reality work.
No. Putting $1 million doesn't excite me anymore. Now what...

But, one goal still haven't changed. Trying to have a Lucid Dream. Maybe reality check 4 hours once is kind of ineffective... trying to increase it to one hour.

Polyphasic sleep is kind of strange... for some reason, the alarm **** ring (very loud), I turn it off, then I remember nothing, NOTHING. I don't even know whether it's me who turn off the alarm or is it my deceased grandpa playing games on me.
I put the alarm clock in the drawer, the next thing I know, the drawer is opened and the clock is under my pillow. I put it across the room, it's suddenly appear under my pillow again...
Well, the nice thing is, it only happened once per day and I usually sleep around 1.5 hours because of it... The rest of the naps (around 3-5) will usually takes around 30 min.
