Fastlaners,
I am starting this as an execution thread. If you look at my profile, I started one back in March. I didn't stick with it though because I didn't know how to stick with things until recently. Now I am ready.
The purpose of this thread is to hold me accountable to documenting my journey. I have been slowly stacking habits, and think that this thread will be a great way to start a habit of journalling. What you can expect is large monthly updates, and shorter updates on Fridays.
Here is a bit of information to get you caught up on my journey. I returned to college 3 months ago with a singular focus in mind: create the life I have always wanted to live. My inspiration to do this comes mostly from a mission trip I went on to Tanzania. MJ has talked about this, but sometimes when you are really comfortable you need to shake your perspective. I did this by going to Africa for three weeks and came back with a new perspective. I could see the forest for the trees. I knew I wanted to live a more than ordinary life. When I returned to college I began stumbling on success. I started reading books, listening to podcasts, and stopped going out. I am right now, at 9:05 pm, on my couch on a Friday night writing a blog post. That's a big change. I continued reading and such until 10 days ago when I set my priorities straight. I am in a period of concentration right now, and plan to be for the next 30 days. After the 30 days are up I may loosen my focus, but will by no means stop.
My list of daily non-negotiables are
I will post a weekly update below this introductory post. Expect to see me develop a structure while I continue this thread. For now I just want to get something out there. I tend to prioritize PERFECT over DONE. I am working to change this.
