Reset Challenge: Habits

       Welcome to the first edition of my Reset Challenge. This week I was trying to update and challenge myself to Fix my habits.

          Now I will say that I could've planned the timing better but I thought just start now. I am currently re-doing my room (wet paint on the walls now). So I've had to sleep on the couch for 4ish nights now. So Hopefully I will get to sleep in my bedroom soon. But It didn't keep me from stopping my habit change goal.

For my habits, I am going with

Reading 10 pages per day
Morning pages every day
Practicing guitar every day
Making the bed
Exercising 6 days

For reading every day I completely and utterly failed. I must've read 3 pages the entire week out of the book but I did listen to about 15 minutes of an Audiobook.

For morning pages I also didn't do that great I wrote Four pages out of Seven. Then again not the worst I could've done

I did great with practicing every day. I played the guitar for 342 minutes this week. I use Yousician to practice and It tracks the time perfectly.

For making the bed every day I did okay. It was more of making the couch instead but when I had my bed I did well. Not perfect but I could have improved. So that's 6 out of 7 days.

Exercising wasn't great. I started so strong but I just didn't finish it that way. I worked out 5 days but It wasn't as good the last day because I just finished half of the ab routine.

I also made it a goal to spend less un-required time for technology. I have to use it for educational and work purposes and I wanted to include the time I spent on tech So that people could see my main flaw in time management. I spent a total of 13 hours on my tech. Now I would like to tell in detail a little more about what I was doing. Not all of it was entertainment (though most are). I spent Seven and a half hours on Netflix, 2 hours on safari, 3 and 1/2 hours on Yousician and 15 minutes on Amazon music and the other time was spent in settings, clock, and the app store.

Now I want to focus on less Netflix time because, to be honest, I tend to just sit around and watch too much of it. The scariest part of this I am about to reveal that I spent 43% less time on tech than last week. I am honestly ashamed about it and that's why I am urging for change.

Though most of my habits were failures I really tried to fix them a bit and they weren't complete failures considering I am 1 step higher into changing then I was before.

My 5 AM Morning Rountine

Welcome back or welcome! When I started my Reset my Life challenge I went to tackle habits one of them being sleep. I wanted to make sure that I was fully productive and waking up and getting to it always set me upright. I feel that it is important to be productive especially when first waking to starting your morning right. So I First start out by waking up and making my bed getting straight away. I then go to the kitchen and make my green tea. I set out everything the night before. I head to my room and well drinking my green tea I do my morning pages and look at my schedule and goals for the day. Once I am done with that part of my morning I put on my workout clothes and head to the gym. If you want to know my fitness routine Check here. After the gym, I come home to shower and get dressed for the day. Then I start to do my day's work of studying and writing. I know that this post is short but I like to keep things simple. Easy. Yet Productive. I love that in this v...

What Video Games can teach you about living a Meaningful Life

             Most often minimalists will talk about removing things that make you unhappy. But sometimes they say that they don't have time to do the things that they love like playing video games.                    So what's the real reason for me using video games as an objective thing to teach a lesson. Well, great question but it's more about me wanting to say I had an awesome childhood and family where we would gather together in the living room and all go through 3 or 4 dungeons on World of Warcraft or Guild of wars 2 or whatever game we were playing together at the time. Well, I do wish we still did this I know the benefits of control and discipline (as well as how awesome my parents are).               When you love video games there is a difference between loving and choosing. You want to play them every hour of the day and that's what childhoo...

I've got to improve my productivity and really get to it. I've been extremely productive in the past but today I'm taking on the challenge of my dream morning routine.... so here's the schedule. 5:45 wake up 5:50 make bed 6:00 yoga 6:30 shower After that, I would get to work...it's simple efficient and still could fit really nicely for a productive start of the day.

I'm guilty of reaching straight for the electronics and laying in bed well watching shows and looking at social media. the simple solution to not do this is t...
