Day 12 Recap

Now that I am wrapping up week 2 of my 90 Day Challenge, I am going to make a point of documenting my days more frequently.

Today was an extremely productive day but it was also a true test of persistence. I began my day at 9am Friday morning and I am finally wrapping things up at 1:15am Saturday morning. I probably had a total of 30 minutes break today! While I would not recommend this type of workload for a long stretches, it was mentally satisfying to successfully accomplish what I was able to do today.

In summary, here was my day:
9am-12pm Website development and content development
12pm-1pm Family time and Lunch
1pm-2:30pm More content development and business research
2:30pm-4:00pm Meeting with Coaching Client
4:00pm-5:30pm Grass Cutting (it was WAY overdue!)
5:30pm-9:00pm Booth Assistance for out Xocai business
(Listened to Robin Sharma Personal Development coaching en route to and from this event...got some GREAT ideas to implement)
9:00pm-10:00pm Workout at gym
10:00pm-11:00pm Time with my wife Jessica
11:00pm-1:00am Content development

The reason I am logging these activities is to have a journal of my tasks. It would have been VERY easy in the past to decide to SKIP my workout after such a long day. I would have made the excuse that "cutting the grass" was enough of a workout to qualify for physical activity.

Now that I'm doing this challenge, I *knew* at a core level that I didn't even have the option to skip the gym. If i did...the challenge was over and I would have to start again!! I was not prepared to go there.

So, the great aspect of this challenge is that I do not allow myself off the hook as easily as I might have in the past. Personally, I REALLY like using this as a forcing function. By the way, once midnight hit, I HAPPILY put another big blue 'X' through another day on my calendar.

That is now 12 days complete on my 90 Day challenge and I am looking forward to continuing the journey.

For the purpose of this challenge I have also created the following scale to measure my state of mind and state of physiology (1 being low and 10 being high). Check it out....

As of Sept.19 (Day 12 of 90):

Mental Toughness - 10
Physical Energy - 7
Self Confidence - 8
Persistence Threshold - 10
Faith That I Will Complete This Successfully - 10
