In post

Im wrinting this in post, I didnt submit the journal this morning. I want to get an overview of my goals and current situation:

Goal: getting 2 knives in 2 days production right.

Whats necessary?
Just steel, everything else is there and the steel is already ordered too. I should make machetes or kukris I realize now because thats what most people are actually looking for. Dont stray now! Most people are looking for kukris thats true but my whole focus was to find a way to make good kitchen knives! I cant digress now. I ll keep in mind that people may want to do this and they can do it by forging a file into a knife with me for maybe 100€, thats a reasonable price. Making money is necessary. Making many kitchen knives whcih are extremly high in performance and visual quality is extremely important. Getting the website up to speed iimprotant. TGetting hte sharpening service right is important. Getting the bottle pener production up to speed is important. Whats missing for those? Nothing is missing! All of those acn be done. I finished the knife throwing stand today, its completed! People can statrt donating money now. I already ahave a passive income ;.D Even if its just a few euros per day.

Necessary next steps: using the steel once it arrives to ramp up the knife production, finding a way to make the handles quicky. THey are absouktely not done quickly at the moment. THey need to be ground for a long long time. Thats not fine. THey need to be completed some other way… I ll leave it be the way it is right now. The situation is fine, my current way of construction is a high quality one which I can highlight to increase the price. It adds a loto f value to the knife and my goal is a perfect knife for a high price. I dont want to make low cost knives. I want to make a good extremely reliable knife.

The website has to be brought up to speed and my business of making websites for others for cash also needs to be ramped up. More activity! Which activity is ncessary? A picture of my ideal website has to be drawn and this ideal has to be programmed, then Im done. Pictures uploaded and thats it. I sould separate the planning from the working to decrease confusion. The knives I have have to be dispalyed on the webite and the other objects I have created too, thats al l teh website needs to do and it needs to inform about services. I need good pictures in good lighting. THe bottle openers can be done right away, they are absolutely not hindered in any way. I again used the gas forge today and did not yet test the increased hea for a new batch. I will do this tomorrow. A for sale sign is missing, I should use heat to brun the words into a plank of wood and screw it to my sales table. THe rune punch is not there yet and I dont have my own logo to punch yet either. I want to have an anvil logo,thats not impossible! I ll create one. The lower side needs to be drilled and the rest can be cut. Acutually I think everything can be cut wihtout any drillling. Anvil:

Pretty mcuh like this without the hammer. THis is then left over in the punch with which I can then punch little anvil logos into my knives.

Im very impressed by a knife I came across (not mine):

Very nice finish!

Evening journal

I only need to show something remarable and people will cherish me for it! Its like Im surrounded by people who are checking if I Have something they can buy or something they can be a fan of. I dont have anything they can buy and dont put out anything they can be a fan off. So they keep walking. I now put a small thing out there, I put a new handle on a butcher knife. Two people wrote comments saying that its a sick knife and it looks cool. I just need to do cool things. I should finish the sword. Only cool counts! The real emotional value, the thing you wanted when you were a kid, thats the real value. Do those things! People are waiting for these! They wish they’d already be there.

I made a lot of progress on the website! I created a copy for the tutoring business aswell. The Bottleopeners are forged too AND A PUNCH WAS MADE IT WORKED!!! IT WORKED THE PUNCH WORKED I HAVE A LOGO NOWWWWW!!! I have an anvil! Its clearily visibly an anvil! I can punch that into my kives now! INCREDIBLEEEEE!!!

I promised to my accountability partner today that I will meditate for 30 minutes today. I have never meditated this long in my whole life I THink. I used to have a time where I mangaged 20 mins, for me this is the equivalent of the 300 pullups challenge! But I ll do it, ofcourse, because I promised it. I have this new power of promise. I HAVE TO keep it. I HAVE. To keep it. Its absolutely not optional when I made a promise, I Have to keep it. So tomorrow, no matter what happens. I will meditate 30 minutes. Probbaly right away in the morning with the morning journal.

Goal?

Making money by selling forged items (hooks, bottle openers), making websites, increasing the tutoring volume and price and making and selling better and more knives, offering courses, the focus always needs to be on “FINISHING”, “COMPLETING”. Every completed task is a step. All uncompleted tasks are not steps. If you have 20 uncompleted tasks this month, you didnt take a single step. COMPLETE
COMPLETE COMPLETE COMPLETE

Want to be less tired. I should get up earlier but I feel like this is not right, Im sick, I should sleep in. Maybe sleeping in is keeping me sick? Maybe I would feel better if I had my rhythm back? I dont want to try. I will sleep in until next week, if Im well by then I will get up early again. I always need to find a list of things I actually need to do so I dont drift. No, the real maneuver is to remove, not to increase focus. Remove tasks, remove distractions, remove objects, minimalism. I previously set the goal of a minimalistic environment and did not accomplish it within the time I set for myself back then. I will retry today. I will get rid of everything unnecessary and I will be brutal with it. I will make dinner and eat it and then I will make the biggest steps towards a minimalistic environment that I can.

5 ideas:

Ideas for what? A tidy room. How would I arrive at a tidy room? What makes something tidy? Not messy. Whats messy? Everything thrown in one place. So tidy is separating things into groups. So more grouping containers would make things tidier. I have to use more containers. There is a table here which I can use, if things are left afterwards I ll get more containers. This way I found this solution came from elon musk! He said if you want to solve a problem, solve from the ground up, find the basis and try to look for a way that connects this basis to where you want to go.

What else do I want to improve? My focus. LAZER FOCUS. NO DISTRACTIONS. Whats missing? A clear road is missing! Well if Im honest with myself then there is a clear road. I should make knives from now on in exactly the way which I planned, maybe even with a softwood handle so the work gets easier. I will say this idea counted because I brought up using soft wood. Its okay, not all ideas need to be bangers

Decrease distraction. I could go over all distractions with a fine toothed comb and weed out all unncessary impulses. The most pressing one is The horrific setup I have at the moment. Change setup, improve setup for focus, Get a real chair and a real table for work. (im sitting low as fuck at the moment. Fucking unbearable).

Max out facebook friends list, keep goals on goal sheet

Okay what else man? What Im I suffering from? Sickness at the moment. How do I get well most quickly? Nurture and medicine Id say. I should drink tea and make bottles full of it right now. Huge bottles full of just tea so I can keep drinking and drnking, all fuids in form of tea more or less :D* Nice thats a good idea

The last idea, this should better be good. Yes ofcourse its supposed to be good, then it has to solve a nimportant problem. Whats an important problem? Not knowing what to do next. I should carry a card or something. Okay I ll do that, I ll take a sheet of paper and put it in my pocked tomorrow so I ll always know what to do. On top of that I should find a way to kick out unwatned things.

Have you noticed that there was no evening journal yesterday? Basically I was at a birthday party and got home at 4am so I didnt journal (thats fuken weak, I should always journal no matter how tf I feel: The next time I get home late I promise I will write the journal anyway even if its just brief). There was an argument with a girl (which Im not trying to hit up or something) and Im seriously not looking to get into a relationship with her, her life is a trainwreck. Basically there was an argument over nothing which she stirred up, then she cried and everyone wanted that I reconcile it, I did my best, no luck, then after a while of waiting she wanted to talk to me and reconcile, we talked and then she hugged and gave me a peck and this peck man it came over and over, I was uncomfortable with it. I think shes a great person and Id like to talk to her friendlily during the day time but I absolutely dont want to have anything sexual with this person. Shes very attractive but has a violent character and an extremely messed up life. Fuck no dude, no shot. I walked across the dance floor and she’d grab me dancing and wouldnt let go and so on. Whats complicating things more is that this is the dream girl of the guy whos birthday was celebrated! And hes a friend of mine, another top reason why I fucken dont want to catch anything from this person. On top of this all this feels slutty as fuck and Im a guy who always gets his feelings involved when sexual things are involved so I cant allow this shit.
Gotta fortify my mind against these bitches, gonna meditate 15mins today.

Finishing order, it must be delivered today!

5 ideas

Ideas for what? For improving the sales? Well what do I sell? I should make more things which are completed quickly and sold quickly. HORSESHOES. I ll sell small, decorative horseshoes. Cool idea! Leaves, I ll sell leaves too (forged iron leaves) on a leather band as a necklace.

The next idea. For fortifying my mind against these bitches. Well the friendliness aspect is not a problem, Im friendly with everyone, I just need to find a way to block the sexual aspect. Hand infront of me and no, we are just friends. :+1:

Getting ahead in life: I should listen more to “the effective executive” on audible, its a great book it already improved a lot of my inefficiencies! I will take headphones with me and listen to it while working

2 More ideas. Getting an orderly room: every time I leave the room I will put one item or one messy thing in its place before hand :+1: thats a phenomenal idea

Last idea: idea for what man? What do I need an idea for. For which thing do I need an urgent improvement… For my monetary situation. I need a way to get to steel very cheaply so I make more profit. I will call a metalworking shop and ask if they have scraps for a cheap price

Okay thats all, see you this evening!

I absolutely need to swap this pc with something, its extremely annoying to hear it running. I ll get a laptop and do my best to get that running instead of the pc and I need a chair and a table, everything is way too low to work properly, I sit on this rocking chair, its completely unsuitable for real work and I have a horrilble posture on it. Tomorrow evening: Chair, table and swapped PC for laptop.

Tomorrow I will start a batch of knives and create handles for the existing knives to finally ramp up production. I feel like I got worse at expelling bad thigns from my mind. The reason is that Im not surrounded by good people, Im surrounded by drug dealers, booze drinkers, losers and idiots, generally people who dont have their life in order at all. That cant be my social circle! I refuse to let this be my social circle. I ll greet and talk but I HAVE to find another social circle. The best way would be on the internet, I should increase my social bonds here. I ll write something for one of these people and then read antoher chapter in the book “the laws of winning” , it is a german book, I loosely translated it.
Goals still not visible. I write down ideas and never find them. I need a centralized goal book, I ll get a physical goal book and write things down there. I ll take a blank paper and use that now.
See you!

Today was an interesting day: I absolutely faken need a table! Im sitting low asf on a very low chair and a way too low “table” and after helping someone he gave a table to me when I asked him! Nice! I finally have a clean space. I have rules man: No shit ever on the table ever. Nothing ever. I want a workspace thats always, always, always completely clean and blank. The table is my mind man. If its cluttered, my mind is trashed. (Im looking over to the table right now. Very calm feeling).

The hoe from sunday (attractive girl that started kissing around with everyone and tried to dance with me but I know her life is a wreck and I dont want to fuken get involved) was in my mind for a while and thanks to this BS I got nudged into the pmo BS again, at least in thought. Thankfully I know this is all a gigantic waste of time and I dont need to follow this illusion shit at all. Fuken gen jutsu or smth. Its empty man! Its faken empty man! Its emtpy through and through. What will happen after I orgasm? Fuken nothing! Its fuken empty, I ll be baited even after Im given the bait! I win nothing! I see through this shit, its putting a chain on my neck once I give in to it. Cringe shit, cringe trap shit. Fuck pmo dude, thank god Im free from this BS. How tf can the majority of people even be in this unnatural BS situation. It must be the porn industry consciously pushing this. If anyone is reading this who is currently still in the pmo trap: fuck it dude, its all a mental trap. You THINK you are missing out on something when youre getting rid of it. YOure FUCKING NOT missing fucking anything, this is a big fat lie that they use to enslave you. As long as you believe the lie “that youre missing out on something” and you stay dumb as fuck and curious, you ll be fucking fettered, tied down and fettered, literally defeated. This cant pass dude, Im not giving this a pass, this is getting reported and banned from my life, Im not a degenerate, what the fuck is Pmo, what a fucking BS situation, how the fuck does anyone endure this locked up shit, Im not getting locked up anywhere I Have fucken goals, cant divert from my fucking life purpose just to lose in some mind trap BS. Fuck this illusion. Its actually a test. Its a test if you believe yourself more than the society. Do you trust yourself more than you trust the peer pressure. I trust myself, I know the peer are clueless fool trash losers who talk alike and nod alike and dont know what the fuck kind of noose they are hanging around their neck, they comply. I dont fucking comply. Im a winner! Im a fuken wiinner! Fuck these… you know what I want to say, these retards… Fucking beneath me, these mind tricks are fucken beneath me, I see through them! The illusion is that any fo this is hard. Its fucking easy.

You dont even have to do anything. Just focus on yor fucking goal man, dont be so fucking lazily distracted, get a hand on things, get a fucking plan, get some direction you retard, make your goal clear gosh darn it, you cant be drifting around like an ibecile clueless of where youre going! Know where youre going! Know where the fuck youre going! You have a goal right? You have fucken goals dont you? Ofcourse! You have a fucking dream. You want money and a family you idiot so stop fucking around and focus on your fucking money and family! Get a fuken real life physical non digital fuken notepad. Write down your fucking shit man, write down what you want to do this day and then fucken do it, carry the notebook with you like a shopping list because youre evidently fucking retarded and dont follow through on what you originally planned to do, make a fuken promise! Make a week goal!

Set the week goal and accomplish all the shit! Set a shorter goal, set a 3 day goal of things that HAVE TO BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE 3 DAYS. If youre on day 3 and you relaize you didnt do shit, you HAVE TO FUKEN RAMP THINGS UP and finish the work of 2 previous days in this 1 day. Find a way! Find a fucken way! Youre the fucken man!

Lastly, I want to leave you with this:
Dont ever fucken doubt yourself. Dont ever, not in a single millisecond allow to think that youre anything less than the coolest motherfucker to ever fucken walk the earth, because you are. Youre the fucking G. Fucking go after your goal and be a little more relentless you faken faggit

Body trainsformation commitment (workout 6d/week):
ill, today I ll attempt 100 pushups

Goals

returning package
never asking for favors
starting 4 knives, preparing handles for 4 knives (day load)
making scraper for tree resin as a gift for a friend
How would I organize this day? Cook breakfast and eat it, then leave and complete the workload for today and the knife handle. Perfectly reasonable plan!

5 ideas

For “my business”. What an extremely general term. What part of teh business? Whats most important. Producion at the moment. All other things should be left alone. I think Tesla is investing 0 dollars into advertising. They put it all into the product. I ll do the same. So how should production be improved? Whats missing? A good anneal is missing to be honest. Why is the anneal so bad? There is not enough depth to the vermiculite container I put it into. I should put a larger heap onto it. and I think I could even warm the container itself up a little.

Why tf do I go to bed late? I had the chance not to go to bed late yesterday which I will use today. How will I use this chance today? What woudl I have to do to my former self to convince him to go ot bed when I saw the appropriate time was reached? I have to realize that I always need 1 hour until I sleep. If I decide "I ll sleep now, the necessary evening preparations etc. always take antoher hour. So I ll always start this process at 8, knowing I ll absolutely need that full hour and probably wont make it if I slack. I ahve to accept that I dont have spare tie when I use this hour, it will be completely filled and I shouldnt pay any attention to if Im using less time than I have given myself. IN general I should stiop being so cheap with time. I should grant myself more of it and give less of it to BS activities like whatsapp and so on.

Third idea? All these impulses need to go. I cant act goverened by impulses. After completing each impulse I always forget where I was and what I oroginally wanted to do. I ll write down each impulse and act on it at an appropriate time.

Starting the day: Everything is so slow, I take forever, I have to get ready much quicker. I ll set a time when I have to have completed something. 6am waking up, by 7am I have to have showered and completed the goal sheet and started writing, by 7:30 I have to be done iwth the ideas and the goal setting., cant take more than that, then I leave.

Last Idea: Food. I need to think up a meal which I can cook in the evenig to be prepared for the day. I ll look up a recipe now. Cooking a lot of rice and making rolls with cheese in the morning and to take with me to work

Alright thats it, see you soon!

A little crime!

I helped commit a little crime today: the owner of the smithy sold scrap at the junkyard and suggested this little maneuver: (I made no money, he got money for it) Basically I stay in the car when the car is weighed and then on the way out I don’t sit in the car when it is weighed again ^^ so 70 kg (more or less my weight) was added to our bargain :smiley: it translates to about 7€ so not much, I feel like I did someone a favor, it’s a little crime-esque but man this is a huge junkyard and we are just two guys :smiley:

When we did the little maneuver I said to him " I need to gain some weight, if I weighed 100kg we would have made 10€" and he laughed and said I ll get there too soon (he weighs 100kg right now (not fat) tall and extremely strong). That touched me man, he really believes in me. 80kg will be quite heavy for my size, I’m 1.76m, 90kg will be extremely heavy and 100 the absolute maximum. I feel like I’m a mouse and he’s a bear and hes sure this mouse will grow into a bear too when it’s older. That touches my heart man. In many ways he’s like a father to me, I don’t speak to my blood-father anymore.

Planning for sleep absolutely didn’t work at all, it’s 9:42 now, way past bedtime. Why didn’t it work? I was extremely hungry and couldn’t go to bed without cooking. Something always needs to be prepared, there always has to be a snack that’s ready to eat for these circumstances.

Tomorrow I will complete the knives and make them ready for glue up and create a second batch with an improved handle! Yes we’re moving quickly now! Batch after batch day after day! 28 knives will be created in 12 days if this pace is sustained and I finish each batch in 3 days total, that would come around to 56 knives in 24 days, let’s round that down because it’s not realistic, let’s say 50 knives in a month at 50€ profit per knife (estimate) which would leave me at 2500€/Month! And if I could ramp up the profit to 100€ it would be 5000€/Month! I should not make the production in batches, because each improvement happens per batch so I would make a whole bunch of knives of the same quality when I could improve the quality much quicker. For this month I will finish today’s batch and then make one knife at a time. This slows me down in production but speeds me up in development and that’s much more important. If I can raise the quality of the individual knife I can make a much larger improvement to the profit than by producing a large quantity.

ill, today I ll re-attempt 100 pushups 100 pullups 100 squats 100 back exercises

Goals

returning package
never asking for favors
starting 4 knives, preparing handles for 4 knives (day load)
making scraper for tree resin as a gift for a friend

List of all things taht are on my mind (and their solutions if possible):
-Wieird landlord with crazy dumb conspiracy theories which she tries to convince me of like that the german police is a company and other crazy BS that I absolutely dont give an f about / solution: just dont talk to her, go about your own business youre busy af arent you?
-Package that I have to return and label that I Have to print, / Solution: I just bought a printer. It will come in a week, all printing problems solved hopefully
-have to go to the doctor but Im not insured at the moment / solution: call after this session and ask
-I have to finish the knife and give it to the person who ordered it and then make it back in time for a lesson, maybe i can take the car of someone, I will ask her, I ll write this note down
-finish batch of knives and start one high focus individual knife, start handles on the rest
-buy physical notebook / solution: buy the notebook

5 ideas

I said I need more containers to create order and separate things into categories into those containers. I dont really have containers but I see there are distnict spaces in this room where things can go. After finishing these ideas I will put the things in those palces.

I take a while to come up with another idea. Maybe its because I dont implement the previous ideas readily enough and new opportunities dont show quickly enough. I have to find a way to implement those ideas. I already said I will get a notebook and write everything there today. It has to be handy so I can have it in my pocket all the time. I should look at tit at regualr intervalls, for example when I arrive at the smtihy to know whats next and after I start and finish a break so IM focussed on the things ahead. Its really not that much, I ll try to write down all things on my mind above and see through it.

Second idea: the way from the here to the smithy is long and tiring, I should use a better bike with less resistance, I should fix one of the other bikes and suse that with thinner tires and less friction

I need snacks! Where can I get things or what can i cook which I can eat all the time? maybe peanuts but I need a bigger snack, something like avocado and scrambled egg on toast. I shoudl make a whole bowl of avocado and scrambled agg and a lot of toast and then I can just combine them, when I go to buy groceries today I ll do that

I have to get several bottles of water and put them where I work often. THen I Ll drink neough. I could actually fill them with tea instead of water to book my health.

Last idea: I should comb my beard! It looks horrofic the way it is right now, long and so on! I ll take care of it after the shower

Nice! Very organized!

Things I should not forget

Call doctor and ask about insurance
Take friends car instead of train, take glasses with me
put things in order in the room
shower
Get bottles to put near workspace
Take care of beard with comb

  • :x: shoulder raises (50 per side)
  • :x: shrugs (100 reps @ 15kg)

Plan today: harden the blades, make a test hamon for one blade

5 ideas:
For the blades; surface polish takes up 70% of the manufacturing time, polish to see the hamon requires a very high polish so I won’t polish it at all, I ll produce a few knives without a hamon, it’s uncommon that someone buys such an expensive knife anyway. I should make 1 knife w hamon to produce a value ladder

For gaining weight: make a bag with food to take with me to snack during the day, always more food than I can eat so I gain weight

For getting straight blades (yes they are warped again, there was another chance in the process): the important thing is a straight blade when it’s glowing red hot so I ll put it between two aluminum plates to straighten it and then put it back

For sharpening: the blades were sharp and now suddenly they are not anymore! What happened? On the dull blades the burr is extremely long, I have an idea! I will sharpen, then break the burr on leather and then continue sharpening! This is a great solution

Last idea: for the social environment: I can’t not talk to them ever, I should have something to talk about so I control the conversation. I ll bring her a little part out of which I will make a tool for her and ask her about suggestions

Perfect!

Evening journal:

I ll bang out another 100 pushups for the body transformation challange, then shower and sleep.

I saw one of my olld classmates post his degree, he finished it. I thought about myself and that I dont have such a degree, I just have the A level examination and I was sad. Then I thought about this. This doesnt make a difference. This makes as much of a difference as people put weight on it and the real reason there is any weight on it at all is that it was the life purpose of some remarable people and thats how this title was decorated with honor. My way, the path Ive chosen is not some random thing, it is EXCTLY what I chose, it is my life purpose and the real thing I want. So authentically, Im doing exactly the right thing and even if not I couldh ave not known in the past because I did not know. All decisions I made were the right decisions. It was the right decision not to continue engineering, Im not an engineer, thats not me andi the right decision to go into blacksmithing and tutoring, these two things are perfect for me. The path Im on right now is the perfect direction, nothing could better fit me. All other things are superficial things that I just say or do for my ego. Im living my life as if noone was watching, Im living the right life. Who dares to do this? Noone. Noone lives their life, they all pretend and pus themselves into roles to look good in the eyes of others. I dont give a fuck. I know I ll die one day and noone will congratulate me on pressing myself into some fk role. Noone will console me, noone will give me compensation for foregoing my life. I claim it. I claim my life. All decisions I make are permanent, nothing will be undone. I take the right decision. I have a vision, I ll make it true, all distractions left and right are powerless, nothing can divert me. Compromise? NO COMPROMISE. I choose. I decide. 4000€/M is my inevitable destination. Im not a fuckwit, Im gonna get it fucking done, quite soon too.

Game plan: 4k has to be broken down into segments. 1k can easily come from tutoring alone, it has already in the past. Just more advertising, gettign hte website up to speed. The knives and other parts have to at least serve another 2k and I will have to find another way to fill the remaining 1k. 2k with knives itself is already possible. If I didnt screw around the past few days I could have sustained the pace of 2 knives in 2 days with no problem. At 50€ profit per knife this would ! already ! mean 1k per month with knives. Apart from that small other things are produced and sold too and courses bring the most anyway. They have to be placed on the official website of the smithy (which I dont lead) and another 1k can easily be accomplished. Lets say knives and small articles ramp up to 2k in total which is not unrealistic and tutoring reaches 1k, courses 1k then Im already set. I would have already achieved my goal. This is realistic.

Whcih things are necessary to bring this about?
Knife bottlenecks have to be eliminated. Main bottlenck was polish and sharpening, got eliminated. Remaining ottleneck was hardening, I think a solution was found there too. No bottleneck as far as I can say. Great, when I find one I will think about it again.

I will complete the tasks afterward, I had to leave quickly to return a car. Planning the day and the 5 ideas are more important now.

Planning

Knives are still at home, untempered. They can wait as long as I use today productively. I should create small items for sale. I ll do some research about this now.

Result of the research: firepokers and candle stands
I ll spend the day going after these two projects
