The time I spend at the computer is when she's at work and by one hour I mean very quality time and doing something special, not something like watching TV or walking. Something different and unique.

But you are absolutely right and I like that you brought this up. I had been pretty unbalanced for a while, work and success was all I had in mind but I'm learning to be more patient and enjoy fun time as much as work time so I need to remind myself that I spend at least one hour (this is an absolute minimum) daily doing something great with her.

1) Work 65-70 hours a week in my job.
2) Wake up at 6am 4 days a week.
3) Consume 6 meals each day 210g protein 75g fat carbs heaps enough
4) eat salads with lunch and dinner
5) Gym 4 days a week.
6) Save 10% of my income
7) Put some money away for poker bankroll.
8) read colin mooshman sit and go book.
9) read seven card stud fap
10) Go out to clubs twice a week to practice mystery method and natural game. 4-6 hours
11) Play 2-3 poker MTT a week. on day off.
12) read busting loose again for the fourth time.
13) listen to third eye blind semi charmed life once a day, nirvana lithim, some nature stuff, tony robbins
14) read Pmemory.
15) wank to porn once a day or more.
16) run 20 mins twice a week.
17) sleep 6-7 hours
18) learn speed reading
19) learn one karate move a week.
20) learn some tantra.
21) learn one german, french, and spanish, Punjabi word a day
22) cut the sugar out. Have done for past 5 days.
Too much **** too do.
23) watch best of stiffler again.
24) seriously considering converting sexual energy. and giving up my beloved porn.
25) do deep breathing 3x a day. holding for 28 seconds exhale and hold of 14 and inhale. or some **** like that.
26) go to a gay club.
27) listen to taio cruz dynamite.
I do all on list allready but listen to 4 songs a day repeated, wake up at 3am, and only work 35 hours. oh and i don't go to gay club.
28) work out math calculations. 35% of 4600 in my head fast. 3 x 4 = 12 3 x .6 = 1.8
5 x .4 = 2 5 x .6 = 3

12+ 1.8 + 2 = 15.8
15.8 + .3 = 16.1

= 16.1 = 1610 35% of 4600 = 1610. Go from 20 seconds to 5 seconds would be beautiful for me
29) run simulations for seven card stud on two dimes or pro poker tools. write down the numbers and memorize.
30) learn some more about LOA and affiformations. have read parts of creative visualization but can't be bothered applying it so will do that before i sleep and after wakeup.

Now doing poker simulations 3 hours worth of.
Run for 15 mins. then eating 100g-150g oatmeal, 4 eggs boiled
do deep breathing.
5 mins of visualizing myself.
then wait for a phone call.

Cool.
BTW, don't want to take the thread off topic, but how do you know if you gained one kilo of muscle (as opposed to just mixed/normal body weight)?

Well, there's no 100% sure technique but I will be checking my body fat percentage every week so that I know how my body fat mass and lean body mass change.

Goal # 4 is complete. I am using the new computer right now. I had to replace the mother board, it was after the 30 day warrenty was up. So on this new computer I have bought a bad mother board, and bad power supply, go figure. My new graphics card rocks, and with 1.5 terabyte of hard drive I have plenty of space for storage. I may network one of the other computers to this one, but not sure yet. Now I actually feel I have the computer I need to proceed with the new website. Hopefully that will start this month as planned.

Went a step farther with #5. I got rid of all monday's at work, now I only work 5 days a week. Yay! It feels really good, a definite step towards more freedom.

Well I started goal #1 strong did 5 days raw, but then life got busier, and it got harder, so I failed that goal. I did how ever eat much healthier in October, because of that goal, and I suppose that is a success. #2 wasn't started officially, but I did get more ideas for it on paper, and really figured out what it will be like, so again not exactly completing the goal, however I made pregress towards it, and so that is good. #3 was a success. I smoked no marijuana since October 1st. I like marijuana so the goal was not to quit for good, but rather get rid of the habit, so that I won't smoke it everyday anymore. #4 was completed, I am on the new computer now. #5 is better than the goal was because I don't work any Mondays anymore. I didn't get everything perfect in October, but I completed 3 goals, and took steps in the right direction for the other 2. October I will count as positive.

Default Begin Savings Plan

One of my weak areas is that I receive money from the universe, but I spend it rather than save some of it to have reserves to cover emergencies. That's my goal - become a saver, not a miser but to provide for myself in times of need.
