100% productivity day2: no good
UGH! Something is up with my computer that's causing it to completely freeze up in 10 minutes or so after startup. I can't even bring up the task manager, only futilely move my mouse around. So I'm gonna try to bang this entry out really quick before it dies on me again. This tilts me like no other, btw.
I think people might misinterpret this challenge for myself as self-destructive or a fruitless effort. Obviously old habits don't change overnight, and this is a pretty good example of that. All in all, this is just a mental challenge for myself - kind of an experiment to see what would happen if I just gave myself the "full speed ahead" command. I think anyone would've been surprised to see me succeed in coming anywhere near 100%. But I think frequently proposing challenges like this for myself is important for self-improvement. In all honestly, although painful, it's fun and interesting in a weird, sick kind of way.
So today, wow. Failure, but I have plenty of excuses. First of all (if you notice the edit at the end of my last entry), I shouldn't have played that 2am tourney if I planned on being busy for 16 or so hours the next day. So I get to bed at around 5:30, and my roommate calls me at 8:30 in the morning to let her in the apt (sharing a key due to incompetent property management, ugh idiots!). So I try to squeeze out some more sleep before my alarms go off at 9:30.
Consciousness eludes me. I pull the Wall-E scene where he gets up in the morning on low battery and runs into shit and can't find his belts... I make it to the couch hoping that the sun that comes in through my 15x25 windows will revitalize me... but of course it's rainy/cloudy today.
I'm out till 1pm. UGGGGH! I try to move. UGGGGH! My legs are sore and tight from the plyometrics workout last night. Ok... so I miss out on the most important tasks of the day. FML.
Good thing I did my HW the night before. I eat and grind out a quick 1k hands in poker and recoop about half my losses from yesterday, which is good, but I know I won't have a chance to play anymore for the rest of the day, which sucks.
So I'm off to class. After I get out, I'm supposed to meet up at my friend's place to p90x it with his weights and pullup bar. He doesn't answer his phone and I find out that he drove back up to nova for a football game... way to bail on me man!
Get home, eat... pass out on the floor. Turns out I was only awake from the half dose of addy which was done by this point at 11pm. I wake up at 1am when my computer restarts itself. Bad news bears. And so I've been up fixing this virus or whatever the eff. Super frustrating. All in all... I did nothing today. Put away some laundry and 50 perfect pushups; that's about it.
Oh yeah! I also learned to make perfect over medium eggs today. They were beautiful and delicious. Hmm I think that's worth an additional 1%.
Seriously, it can only get better from here.
