I think it would be interesting to write friendly cards to coworkers and family members rather then sending a quick email. Perhaps taking the time to handwrite a letter that I send via the regular mail would allow me to stop and think more fully about the importance and value of these social relationships. It might also enhance those relationships, particularly during COVID-19.
I have addicted on my mobile phone( internet ) and i spend more time by chatting people on internet, i didnāt sleep well and wakup lateand also i pay a lot for the internet, thatās have more influence on my school, in my education and my goal is to less the internet and focus on my school
I am slowly doing a small change in all areas: taking minutes from morning routines that are not productive and adding them to something productive, taking a certain small amount from each salary and adding to my savings a.k.a crypto and so on! and trying to keep that, no exceptions.
I am paying 200 a month for a storage unit when I dont even need it, I am going to clean it out and close it out, and lower my overall time preference
I spend most of my time in work so my goal is to learn everyday somethink new. I read the books watching videos, online courses and all what can bring me in future some small financial indepedence.
One thing i could do is start exercising, or stop not exercising. I believe people who exercise will push themselves more in life and also that it will help me start thinking about my future in a more positive way. It would also give me a health goal to work towards obtaining.
I could make a change by not binging, on my exercise off-days. I work out; but on the days I have off I tend to consume more alcohol and food than I really should - And because of this my fitness goals are not realising.
I guess going to bed earlier and not trying to stay awake as long as possible would be a good change of a habit. The thing I donāt understand is, why I even try to stay awake, since I cant see the instant gratification! Does anyone have some ideas on that ?
Instead of eating fried chicken I am going to order chipotle.
Here is to new beginnings
Activity: Propose a change you could make to one of your habits, that would reduce your time preference from high (instant gratification) to low (delayed gratification) time preference. It could relate to any aspect of your life (financial, diet, exercise, relationships or education).
Instead of buying a new iPhone 12 this year (instant gratification); I can continue to use my current phone, invest the $1000 into Bitcoin, and buy four of the next model when it is released a year from now with the returns from my BTC investment. One for each person in my household. (Delayed Gratification) Besides, each new iPhone only has a few small changes anyways.
Instead of watching TV learning something new and useful.
Spend less time watching videos of how to do it but just do it instead.
Exercise 3 times a week rather than just 1 time. But make a goal of 2 times a week for awhile before moving to 3.
Iām trying to write in a notebook all the things I want, I wish, to work for them in the small way, creating discipline, trying to eliminate procrastination, to be a better person, to have the things you want, you have to be constant and disciplined by working on small goals, to have the bigger ones, I mean:
If I want a Tesla, but I donāt have money or job, what do you need to?
First a job, if you know the things in Mexico are really bad, you search out of Mexico, but you have to study, then you choose a daily-hour schedule, to study, then to get a job, then to save money for a good life and invest, and study more, to have your tesla and not to have your beautiful car, but living in the car.
But thatās a example of how my mind want to have the goals and to set them.
I would definitely workout more. The Lockdown has made me lazy.
I recently started buying and hodlāing BTC and ETH with my discretionary fiat rather than spending it as quick as I could knowing that itād just rot away in my bank. Not really a proposal, already doing it, but it is a major departure in mindset, saving for the future and all, that is part of what brought me to this academy. I never would have imagined Iād be where I am a year ago
Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier would give me more time on these lessons.
Hmm, I think iām already a delayed gratification mind set. I cannot think of a thing.
I could wait until after 5 pm before smoking weed , that way i would have more motivation. and more focus on my studies.
I can take 15% of every check and put it towards my savings
