If I get 8 hours of sleep every night I’m sure I focus and health will improve to be better than what they are now
spend down time in work doing something productive ie this course, lifting weights etc rather than scrolling social media
I recently left my job working for someone to else to pursue my dream of working for myself. I am in the 2nd month of this journey and realized I have already developed some bad habits, choosing activities with instant gratification (like playing computer games) rather than increasing my value through constructive activities (like completing this academy). I have set the goal to complete the full Academy in 6 months, foregoing the “now” desires for future success.
get up earlier and keep the same bedtime
Reducing the instant gratification of playing video games, and spending more time studying is a great example.
I could set up a schedule and make time for learning, work, sleep, time off etc. This would pay off in the longer term as I become more focused when I need to and don’t feel bad wasting time when I plan it.
Quitting smoking is definitely difficult but you can do it! Don’t give up!
Instead of going down the rabbit hole of watching short YouTube videos for HOURS, I could choose to rest my eyes (eyesight is getting worse lately) and listen to podcasts or audio books. That would probably help me fall asleep better too!
I think I should spend more time on pastimes and less time on work and education. Working all day gives me instant gratification and satisfaction, but I think this will harm me long term.
I could sacrifice 30 mins of netflix / entertainment per day to spending 30 mins to study per day. More knowledge gained per day would translate to increased earning power over a period of time.
going to bed early since i would be able to wake up and get things done sooner rather then being less productive.
FOMO’ing into crypto pumps is an instant gratification habit I need to be carefull of!
Although sometimes it’s paid off, I’ve found on average it’s better to wait for a dip if it’s a company I really believe investing in & aim for medium-long term returns, as opposed to making a quick day-trade profit.
First habit that comes to mind is my eating habits. I eat way too much fast food instead of home cooked meals. I know I would be healthier, happier and have more energy in the future, but that easy quick satisfaction from McDonald’s is always there.
Thank You for the vote of confidence
I need to control my spending of extra funds that come in unexpectedly. When those funds come in, I need to put them up for 5 days and truly evaluate what they need to be allocated toward.
After this world pandemic I have decided to change my education, after 8 years of experience in hospitality industry I have made new plans and set new goals to achieve the upcoming year. Once I finish my courses in the Academy my next goal is to start working as a developer hopefully on a good project. I really believe that with this fact of changing my preference towards education, I will spent less time while having more income.
I want to do more sport have more sleep, more time with my kids and wife in a perfect balance with work. This would give me more satisfation.
This could work very well in the future for me. I will do what is needed to accomplish this,
For example these courses. Buy time!!!
I could get up one hour before and use this time to study this course,.
I could sleep earlier and wake up earlier to get more things done during the day, this will aid my circadian rhythm and have long term health benefits.
I have been at the same weight for a long time and need to stick with a plan to get it down again. It’s my habits with food. I need to eat when I am hungry not because it is there. Intermittent fasting might be a good fit for me.
