    Got a new module and assignment for the week, haven't yet started. Dunno if I should plan to do this kinda stuff every night or bundle it to do all during a Saturday/Sunday.

    My week has been very productive. I've played 3 action cricket games this week, and still managed to get my fat ass to the gym twice. Planning on adding maybe 1 more time either today or tomorrow morning. I've also started to abolish some of my unhealthy eating habits and trying to stay on the more straight and narrow. And I managed it quite well

    Then, on the work side, I've already finished my Project Management For Strategic Advantage assignment, I've started working on my Strategic Planning assignment, so all is well in my studies as well. Still need to work on my individual big BDAL assignment though, and I am behind on my prescribed reading.

    But I feel like I've had a more balanced week this week, getting more than enough exercise, sleep and study time in, as well as rewarding myself with game time as well. So it's been a great week for me.

    Got just under 3 hours work done. Wasn't able to do nearly as much as I wanted to. May continue a bit later today.

    How have you guys been doing?

    I've been really great at setting an hour aside each evening and getting work done. But.... I freaken haven't been able to get up early to go to the gym. I just feel so tired. I went to bed at 9 last night and only got up at 6:30 this morning and still feel tired. To get up at 5 is just so difficult.

    Tonight I'm going to put my phone way on the other side of the room and hopefully force myself to get up early tomorrow.

    Been pressed for time lately, but managed to finish up late last night with my studies for this weeks module and assignments.
    Going to moving house tonight and unfortunately it has to be done tonight. Hired the help of my sister to assist in moving furniture and the sort, but alas I cannot get time off work to do it during the day. Gonna be a busy night.

    Not to mention I'm a little under the weather and doped up on meds. Also, haven't had much time for gaming of late.

    I will be finishing the second assignment tonight if all goes well. I have completely lost myself in my studies. I find myself reading more and more about complex business paradigms and I'm developing this habit of analyzing and and all business related things from a systems thinking approach. I also have this craving of creating something like a website or a Youtube channel in which I discuss and break these complex business ideas down for more people to understand

    Then, on the health part, I've slipped the past 3 days and have been eating like a bad boy. I've also not been to the gym in 3 days. Yet. the last time I was there I've lost 2.5kgs, which is great. Just got to get myself back into the bloody gym and get myself eating correct again.

    Also, I did something crazy, and signed myself up for a speed dating event tomorrow night. I'f I'm changing my life, might as well go crazy and change everything, right?

    Just reading through your comments is helping me out.

    Keep it up. Need to push until this becomes the normal state of being.

    Keep going through motivation cycles. Just need to try and keep the motivation up for longer and the demotivation(?) at a minimum.
    Also started gyming a few weeks ago and the physical stuff really helps with not feeling overwhelmed a lot of the time even if its just gyming for a short amount of time. Even if you just go for a walk its going to help.

    Sure winter is tough to get into a physical activity but just remember, and I use this as my motivation for physical task...

    Working out, whether it be in a gym or just a physical activity creates oxygen in the bloodstream, the more you do it the more oxygen you get. Also remind yourself that Oxygen is addictive, therefore making the strenuous tasks a simple one once you get into it.

    It's that easy, so it's mostly a mindset, so just power through it...
