Day 22 - Trying to recover my good old habits
I have developed amazing productivity habits throughout my life. Right now I am trying to recover them and rebuild my old self.
I woke up feeling wrecked. My head is pounding, hard to breathe, an awful cough, and my stomach is cramping badly.
I had some weird dreams about meeting my ex in Thailand, about a girl I like now leaving the country, and about my friend taking her to an amusement park and not telling me. Hmmmm, is this what my brain is occupied with?
It took some self-control to not immediately check my phone this morning. I forced myself to sit on the balcony doing nothing for a moment, then I brought my laptop here to a cafe to write this.
I noticed how badly I have been distracted recently. It is really bad. My addiction to Instagram especially.
I am leaving college - this doesn't mean I can fuck around. I really need to hone in and focus. It's the only way to succeed.
Yesterday I saw how professionally Brandon takes creating just one reel. He writes out an entire script, the scenes he wants. He then creates cards and gives them to his videography. They discuss the shots. Brandon also discuss with the client what shots they want. They spend some time shooting. Then he edits it all himself.
He recommends that I could hire an editor from the Philippines or something.
I need to get back into meditation and journaling and exercise and all my old productivity habits I used to have. I have fallen off recently.
My mind feels so calm and happy to just be drinking coffee and working like this not distracted. I know I am deathly sick and haven't been sleeping well or eating well or exercising or my mind has been distressed. But in this very moment, I am happy and proud of myself. Keep it up bro.
I am experimenting with Captions right now, the AI tool.
