How do I make my $1000 this month???

Initially my idea was to earn the amount with Google AdSense. But alas, that idea was way too far fledged. By 5th of Jan I realized the practicality of plan A. I have half completed a fun and sexy website, but getting enough traffic on it in a month to make that amount is unlikely.

Then I started chilling out and didn’t worry too much about making the money.

Then I started plan B. Its a sexy biz idea with very little initial investment required. I found a niche market and made a service to target it. But alas, though I got good feedback on the service, it was required that I continue the service for a prolongated period of time. Since I am going on a 2 month vacation in the mid of Feb, I could not pursue plan B as well. But the basics have been handled.

Ok so plan B also temporarily halted.

Then I again chilled for a couple of days. And came up with plan C. I am good at teaching, and I found another niche market filled with clients to train. Today I went to propose that business prospect to a relevant client. He was interested but said that the earliest he can organize such a session is in March. That again leaves me with no way to make my $1000 this month.

So I came back today and didn’t do anything. No meditation today, No Yoga either (2nd day in a row), didn’t eat a good lunch, had buns and biscuits for dinner and didn’t read during the night, started solving a quiz instead.

And now I am back on track, I have come up with a Plan D. This one does not look promising, but will surely teach me a lot! I gotta read and learn a lot to make it happen. And of-course I am not writing about it right now in this blog.

Right now I am wondering, why do I write down all these things in my blog. Someday in the future, I’ll come back to these pages and smile at the process of my evolution.

16 Days of Megaliving Complete!!!

Todays exercises in Megaliving were rather fun.

Mind: Go on an imaginary vacation! It was real fun. I did feel relaxed after coming out of my forest to my room. We even found a cave with a mini lake inside and camped there. Not to mention my tree house in the forest and my friendship with the Langoors there. I used to think that my imaginary skills are not that good. But this exercise proved otherwise. None the less, its fun and easy! I would love to make such a discovery (talking about the cave here) in real life.

Body: Banishing the belly. Well I did 20+ sit-ups

Soul: Writing a love letter! This one was amazing. I wrote a love letter to my ex. Of course we were not asked to dispatch it. But writing it, I realized there were just so many good things in our relationship that I ignored earlier. It felt great to look at the things that worked rather than the things that did not. Good exercise.

Thats all for Day 16.

I have started waking up early, but the routine is still in a mess. Lets make it better tomorrow.

There’s nothing wrong with anything, only an Impact.

I have caught me making myself wrong hundreds of times. I feel really good these days, and I simply don’t feel like doing the same anymore. For instance today, I didn’t sleep in the night because I wanted to wake up at 5.30 AM. Then I dozed off while meditating ! However I had done my exercise and had pushed myself a little (Kaizen) which might have contributed to my need for some rest. I woke up at 12 noon. But no, I am not making myself wrong over it.

But I would like to take a moment to analyze the impacts my waking up late has caused.

1. I did not eat my breakfast on time and its gonna delay my lunch and dinner as well.
2. I did not do my yoga in the morning. Neither did I plan the rest of my day.
3. I got late for a number of things including a morning informal appointment.
4. I again didn’t read anything in the morning.
5. I will have to work till midnight to finish my 8 hours of daily work.
6. And my routine is ruptured for another day.

Aah, the impact is huge. I’ll keep it in mind next time I feel like sleeping.

Lets get down to work now.

At times I wonder, will I ever come back and read all this that I have written. If not then why am I writing this? None the less, I enjoy blogging

Yet Another Breakdown,

I don’t know what happens to me every morning. I wake up and then go to sleep again.

OK no more cribbing. I go back to sleep again because I don’t value working my plan as much as I value the comfort of the quilt. So what can I do about it. I guess I should plan the next day’s work every night before sleeping. OK, this is 1 thing I’ll do. Besides, I gotta build other structures to hold me into account every morning and every evening. I’ll talk to Deepu, Aashish, Soniya, Mamta, Kiran and Mansi to do so. With so many people catching my collar, I guess I will have no reason to falter. That also means, about 30 minutes on the phone in the morning and 30 mins on the phone in the night. Thats expensive. I have just about 14 $ left. I don’t know but Ill also do something about it.

So how do I make my 1000$ for this month? I don’t know, I’ll have to think.

And for today, its about 1 PM right now. I will complete my future plan by 5 PM and find out if the conference is not finished. If not then I’ll go and meet my friends there. Chances are that everyone will party tonight. But hey today is a Sunday! I am not supposed to be  working on Saturdays and Sundays remember! But then, partying won’t pay my bills. WTF! Man, I am utterly disillusioned. I better get down to work. But before that I’ll make a note of all the things that I gotta work on and all the things that I need to avoid.

What I am missing is Focus.

Another Bad Day, but I am not Abusing Myself.

I worked long and hard, got stuck, didn’t work smart and didn’t do all that I said Ill be doing. Got some old friends coming home, chose to give priority to that. And I am glad that I am not killing myself over not finishing up my site, not making my future plan on time and not attending headstart.in (the conference that so many of my good friends have been working so hard at organizing).

Today is my 13th day following Megaliving. Today’s character building exercise is finding “Energy Leeches” and eliminating them.

Today is also my 5th day following Simple.ology.

I know there is lots to do and that I have fucked up my plans.

But I have just too many unkept promises right now to take life easy.

I have had my day’s share of fun. Now I better get down and finish things off.

Man I am so lost. Feel really helpless. Guess I’ll paint tonight.

Daily Doze :D

Today again I started at 11. Only this time, I started with WORK at 11. Thanks to Mamta who woke me up at 6. I was able to complete all my morning exercises, the way they were meant to be done!

I have got a website to build by tomorrow. Also its our cherished entrepreneurship event – Headstart is gonna start tomorrow. I am excited about attending it.

However, the habit building takes higher priority. And I have resolved that I wont go there till version 0.1 of my Handwriting Analysis site is up. Given that I have never built a website from the scratch, this task is gonna be really challenging. And thats what gives me a kick. So far I have only been able to make some 30 odd images that I would be using in the site using MS-Paintbrush . Am downloading DirectX9 so that I can install some heavy photo editing tool from Corel.

Ok, back on action.

Today all plans followed for the morning and only the 2 min concentration exercise omitted in the noon. The routine has changed for the coming 4 days cause I have an emergency and an event to attend.

Back to work.

Todays update

Well today was a disaster.

I woke up again at 11 even though I had forced myself to sleep at 1 AM the previous night. I did not do my Yoga, didn’t even have a shower or wash my clothes. Didn’t do any work, but did read a Robert Kiyosaki book about which I will write a couple of posts later.

The day was not entirely unproductive because I sat down with my Coach Mamta. (She was my coach at Landmark’s SELP program and is like a mother to me. She literally takes care of me like her own son ) and found out what are the missing ingredients in my routine. I realized that I had not set any buffers. So I updated my “Daily Routine” post and put timings against the same.

I however also took on not perpetually postponing my targets. Earlier this month I had decided that my site will be up by the 11th then postponed to 15th and then to 19th and the fact is that I have still not started any work on it. So I took on “NO MORE POSTPONING”. Mamta wont allow me to work 24 hours without time for fun and proper food and proper rest. So I still have 14 hours a day. In 28 hours I have to ready 5 Handwriting Analysis books, 1 software guide and build a website. Learn how to host it and host it. Also to post 20 articles in my site’s blog.

Ok, thats not practical. I will read 1 book instead of 5 Handwriting Analysis books.

Rest, Ill do the bare minimum of the Megaliving and Simple.ology courses.

9 Days of Megaliving complete :D | Today was really challenging

Wow, I must congratulate myself on completing 9 days of Megaliving. Man it has been a very confronting yet enjoyable journey.

So as I promised myself, I am writing the days activities here.

I had never realized the magnitude of my inefficiency. First of all, yesterday I had slept at 5.30 AM (This is supposed to be my wake up time actually). And I woke up at 11.30. After that I took me 4.5 hours to just complete my morning chores. And I did not wash my clothes. I did not work, just kept running around for my simple.ology printouts. But eventually I made it happen. I was very unreasonable with myself and made an array of powerful requests to delegate some of my important work.

As per the 8 habits I took on, I haven’t kept up 2 of them

• Waking up early
• Putting 8 hours of concentrated effort towards work

As per my daily routine, I followed the morning part (barring the ‘flower exercise’) I did not follow the Afternoon part and mildly followed the evening part.

Anyways, it has been a good reality check. I gotta get at least 4 times more efficient to make things happen my way. And I am taking on being that.

I have started typing and publishing posts incredibly fast. Signs of improvement (efficiency) already showing
