Today’s work was relatively uneventful.
I managed to get through the podcast of Jocko Willinck on London Real and also the end of the podcast with Gary Vaynerchuk. Most of work today was a review of the 300 investors spread out across multiple investment vehicles. Majority was relatively easy, but just routine. Normally quite boring but with podcasts not so bad.
My contract at work finishes this coming Wednesday and with it I’ll be leaving a small group of people who have been a joy to work with. I am grateful for the opportunity that was afforded with me even being able to work with them, the job saved my finances from utter desecration and changed who I am as a person.
I learned to become more calm in my role, was afforded the ability to spend many hours listening to audiobooks and podcasts unofficially and through that have been set back on the path that I can control again.
I left work quite upbeat, the weekend put the conviction and willpower I needed to achieve my goals this week, and a result I smashed it at the gym tonight, sweating my way to an additional 800kcal fat burn. I’m definitely looking forward to my bed tonight. Although this work takes up the majority of my evenings, the alternative would be doing nothing at home but watching Netflix. As I sat sweating out on the exercise bike at the gym, I thought a lot about what I want to achieve. I’m putting a lot of effort into this now, thinking this will change my interactions with the opposite sex. I think I’ll be quite pissed off if I don’t achieve what I’m looking for, but at the very least I’ll have a ripped body by the end of it. There are a great many areas of change I need to achieve for me to get where I want to be. So let’s see how it goes.
I had a think on what I wrote yesterday, and how people are drowned out by the noise of social media. There’s a lot to be said for the damage on society to an unprepared populace. Mostly I’m concerned for my younger sister and the effect of the social media rat race on her young self esteem. My father and I spoke about making sure there was some kind of restriction in place for this. But I’m not sure how effective it will be. So it may be better to teach her the things she needs to deal with it instead of trying to control it. Anyway, that’s for the future and another day.
First it’s time for sleep, because Abs aren’t just made in the kitchen, they’re made in the bed too
