WHERE AM I WASTING MY LIFE?



Although I need some diversion and will have some low energy times, it is not workable for me to divert too often and/or to be in low energy - if I am going to live the life I would like to live.  I use the term "wasting" to include anything that takes away from living my life at a higher level and/or anything where I experience not thinking as well of myself or my life as I would like - not like it is "bad" but more like it is not workable for creating the life I want. 

I'm writing this in response to a number of things but specifically now because I found I was pretty well blasted out by the evening, with what felt like low energy, where I drifted to whatever was easiest and least effortful.  Of course, that was tv and ice cream (which created me being off for the next day too!).  I had the thought I couldn't do anything that is more like work.  I felt all 'worked out', though there was lots more I wanted to do and though I wanted to make alot more progress faster on developing the usefulness of the site(s).  (Let me correct this, technically:  This is not a feeling, as it is actually a thought, which in turn creates the feeling).

So, this had me doing more inquiry into how to be disciplined and more in charge of my life.  You can read the hows via the discipline page though I plan on discussing how I succeeded and the extent to which I succeeded - and how I made it easier to do.

My Daily And Long Term Energy Management - What I must do to get what I want in this area. 

Evening pretty much not highly used (personal or avocation) - getting better, workup a written plan and post it.

Notes and resources not completed with follow up, finishing - Huge

strategy - write in higher standards.

I have been gifted with so much and I am living in heaven!

VICTORIES

Ice Cream habit terminated.

Exercise fully installed (not yet "world class" yet tho)

Go to bed early now - and early up (also using bright natural lights for circadian rhythm)!.

Cable TV, keeping up with politics - Terminated as irrelevant (dropped newspaper a long time ago)

Not allowing easy diversions (break of momentum) from my impactful actions and pre-set schedule

Implemented My Pre-Set Super-Committed Schedule For The Day - For An Always Powerful Day! - Not Optional!

As a part of the above, I no longer allow myself to "explore" sites and emails in the morning.  I scan and classify for later, quickly, with a 15 minute timer set.

Terminated my dopamine inducing, easlily addictive Spider Solitaire trap, but I had to fail several times and finally had to nail down the subject of what works in terms of willpower, change, and self direction - all these years and I never really knew this stuff - and wasted lots of my life as a result.
