It was a wild day today. I fought with my friend over text about meta wanting a video for my friends job application and he thinks that company is being too entitled. Army called and told me that I'm a Staff sergeant now and want me to go to drill. That was hilarious. I got finance homework done today and the my day 3 video. The responce to my your first "this might work" post was amazing. I'm working on detaching my thoughts

Today is the day I face my fear. Cindy said to me "what's your deadline? what are your goals? what have you done? you don't have any of that" I put y defensive feeling fish into the fish tank and took that advice. I didn't really have a plan, deadline or anything to show for. I was mad at her but I was in the wrong. Long story short I signed up for 30 days talking on camera course and film my first video about to post it I'm gonna measure leading indicator from now on

- What did we intend to accomplish (what was our strategy)? VSL and first draft, watch ads video and do homework - What did we do (how did we execute relative to our strategy)? VSL draft and worked on about page I woke up at 6 am and started working on the draft. Talked to Jason around 9. Then spend the rest of the day researching on Reddit. I got some good information about what a good example of the personal stylist service would look like and it is a bit overwhelming and intimidating. I listen to Alex's podcast and learn the story about the 365 days before the overnight cocky story success. that reminded me of Jason's story about working from 9 am to 1 am every day for 5 months straight when he opened the restaurant. I know I'm not working hard enough on the right thing but I also don't know what to do and how to fix that. I need to talk to more people - Why did it happen that way (why was there a difference between strategy and execution) I all but forgot about watching ad videos but there was a distinct moment when I decided to ride the inspiration train writing my about page instead of doing homework. Here I'm reminded inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of us just show up and get to work. - What will we do to adapt our strategy or refine our execution for a better outcome OR how do we There is an ideal day that I try to imitate. There was a day when I buckled down at the library and got all my homework done before 6 pm. I was nervous the whole time. I chase the clock and come up with ways to do everything I need to do faster or even skip steps to get to the end. It seems like that day I worked against all my bad habits and got it all done. How can I make that a new baseline? I need to break down what I did. I think my problem is that I don't really know how to do things. So on my way of making it up as I go, I wonder and get distracted. There is also a lack of destination. - Plan for tomorrow... I need to get my About page out before 10 am tomorrow

- What did we intend to accomplish (what was our strategy)? Finish essay. - What did we do (how did we execute relative to our strategy)? Finished essay by 1:45 - Why did it happen that way (why was there a difference between strategy and execution) This time I was very mindful of the time and push through it first thing in the morning. It wasn't as hard because a lot of work was already done the 3 days prior - What will we do to adapt our strategy or refine our execution for a better outcome OR how do we Have a more detailed and REALIstic plan on what I actually gonna do and not what I think I should do. and watch the time! - Plan for tomorrow.. Get the outline of the VSL, write the first draft from 9am to 10am Do 2 more draft for another 1 to 2 hours. watch the ads video do homework from 6pm to 9pm

- What did we intend to accomplish (what was our strategy)? I was going to follow the plan layout last night and finish my essay - What did we do (how did we execute relative to our strategy)? The essay is still not finished yet. I followed the plan, transcribed it this morning from handwritten notes, and pruned it once, doing the final run right now, halfway through. all that was left was another pass to finish the concluding sentence, catch spelling and grammar errors, and format it to APA. (that is gonna take forever) - Why did it happen that way (why was there a difference between strategy and execution) Because work expands to the time you allotted and I didn't set any time box. I also didn't wake up at 6 am and go to the coffee shop. Instead, I woke up at 9, sat in my chair, and wrote the whole day. There were a few distinctive moments when I felt exhausted and I decided to take a break. Maybe I shouldn't have taken those breaks and should have pushed it through. - What will we do to adapt our strategy or refine our execution for a better outcome OR how do we Thinking back to the few times I was exceptionally productive, I always had a deadline. I will look at the clock and go "omg I only have an hour left, how can I do this fast?" I'll have a small struggle internally and find a way to get it done faster to move on to the next step. I'm gonna move on from William's advice and go back to time blocking. - Plan for tomorrow.. Finish my essay 1 hour to finish pruning. 1 hour to check spelling by Grammarly and read the essay out loud in my head 1-hour format and get references. submit the essay by 12:00.
