OCF and Habit Review

Just had a great bible study at Mark Juntenen's house down south.

Those meetings always go over time, but i think that's just fine. Yesterday afternoon and into today turned out rocky on the habit-developing front:

  • I didn't get a workout in today. 

  • I also didn't take a walk or have a quiet time. 

  • I stayed up late last night and ended up sleeping in this morning until about 10 am. 

  • I didn't plan out today, last night. 

  • I haven't been logging my net time. 

  • I haven't planned out my meals yet. 

  • Didn't have How Hour.


Success has been found in these areas:

  • Less swearing, especially while driving. I'm much more serene on the road now.

  • Haven't been drinking at all.

  • Been taking notes out of Ron Paul book

  • Haven't been smoking

  • Have been practicing great hygiene.


What's the deal?

Something very important is getting a good diet. I've been on a pretty poor diet since getting back. I need to plan meals, even if it's for just the next one. I'm too lazy to cook chicken breast, and it's going to go bad soon.

Having a good walk and quiet time is linked to getting my workout in. Getting a workout in is linked to getting good sleep and not wasting too much time on the 'net (by logging it, or scheduling it). Staying focused on goals is done by planning the day. The trend here is linked habits, which strengthen one another and act to ensure one another. They are not designed so that if one fails, it leads to others failing--but that seems to be what is happening. 

Tonight I'm getting back to the bible reading and planning the next day (including meals). This is setting myself up for success for tomorrow to be a stellar, kick-ass day overall. I've been flaking out on good, solid How Hours and letting them slide since I've been doing well. I'm going to go back to starting them. A good 45 minutes of reflection is good whether you're setting goals, expressing frustration about life, or addressing one specific challenge.
