What I Say vs. What I Do - Monthly Challenge

[weir]

I will definitely participate in this

[hellojaani]

Welcome! Type your details man and add them to the scoreboard! Lets get started!

Looks like I will be the winner this month at this pace. I can only imagine people thinking… why do this challenge publicly when I can do it privately… also cuz its easier done privately. And the immediate consequences of not keeping our word or even making commitments is not particularly self-evident. Being “meh” is typically “meh”… and perhaps the idea of being true to your word is not about the outcome or even declaring it publicly especially if you truly love what you are doing… then its effortless, then its like all other areas of life mold themselves so you can maximize doing what you love to do.

But that also applies to whatever you have habituated to… and that can be negative. Hence this group. The more I love something, the larger my goals will be and the further in time my deadlines. And the less need I will feel to write here.

Just thinking out loud.

3. I won’t procrastinate nor distract myself with garbage Internet.

Reporting in table-form to show exactly how the week went: (upon edit)

It wasn’t as bad as it could be so I’m happy. In fact it was actually quite okay, absolutely mindblowing in some regards and I haven’t had that for so long. So I’m grateful that I did make as much progress as I did. It’s not conducive to anyone to be weighed down by unnecessary expectations.

[MrXYZ]

1.I commit to studying at least 10 hrs everyday.
2. My deadline will be upcoming monday.
3. I will not use my smartphone or let myself get distracted.

Ok This Is My 1st To Do Post Here In This Group
0.1 I will delete Movie I am watching Right Now, Which will help me with my day become productive

0.1 = Done

[hellojaani]

I wrote a longer message but deleted it because as they say, empty cans make the most noise. I pointed out the bullshit “I will do this and that” mindset right after relapse… idiot, it’s pathetic to chatter like that uselessly… learn and move on. So that’s what I’m doing.

My ratio is 3:6 now - this week has been mind-blowing in some ways but disastrous in others - my previous commitment wasn’t well crafted - so here’s the new one.

1. I choose to commit to documenting the frogs I eat with the aim of developing a routine
2. My deadline is the end of the month which is 7 days from now.
3. To help me achieve this, I will aim for efficiency regarding where I focus my attention.

Alright, next post after 7 days!

[hellojaani]

What I Say vs What I Do… this is controlled solely by me, myself and “I” and this applies to everyone. So, I will be concluding this thread - I believe it has served it’s purpose for me. I have an app called habits through which I am accounting for just this.

I have a set routine now and from this experience I learned that I’m only haphazardly keeping my word… with more intention I mean to follow through — I will be posting in my diary from hereon out regarding these matters.

Others are welcome to continue this effort — I don’t want to branch out too much so I’m conserving my efforts to produce more quality than quantity on forums. And this is one such endeavor that imo is no longer necessary for me.
