Working on Self Improvement

Changes for the best

As a first post it is hard to start writing. I have been procrastinating for weeks to get the first few sentences down, but I feel as if it is finally time to get the ball rolling in an attempt to “pivot” myself to the next level.

“Non-Zero Days”

The idea of non-zero days came up on a reddit a few days ago with the idea is that every day you should be doing something productive.

Write one sentence. One pushup. Read one page of that chapter. One.

As long as something is done it can be considered a non-zero day. As of late I have been filling my time up with zero day activities. Spread out between video games, TV, reddit, and anything else on the internet I could get my hands on, I was the definition of non-productive. But today, today that all changes.

The FIRST

This is the first. Day one. The first day of the non-zero days. I have already made progress just by writing this first post. In the first sentence I wrote that it was hard to get started, but now looking at the bottom of the first page it is incredible how easy it was to write. It is always hard to get started but once you have that initial push it is much easier to start building up momentum.

And not that LAST

Now that I have finally started my journey it is time to start fleshing out my goals and future plans. I have many things I want to accomplish and these posts will hopefully allow me to keep motivated as I learn new skills and move away from activities which effectively waste my day way. I constantly have ideas of small programs I want to write, gadgets I want to make, and fitness goals I want to achieve. With one day down, I have many to go but everyone has to start somewhere.

Going Forward

Tonight’s goal is to formulate a plan of action and really start drawing out a road map of where I want to be in the next month, 6 months, and beyond. Goals which I can fulfill and help me progress forward, all which can be measured and quantified.
