Day of Tiw: June 16, 2020

Week 25/52: Day 168 of 366 (198 left)

45.9% thru 2020; 84.7% thru Q2

I want 2020 to be, hands-down, unequivocally, incontrovertibly, the best year of my life. That will require daily commitment! Every day, I need to reaffirm my goals and direction before getting started. I need to make my actions congruent with my goals. I've already laid out what that will look like with some goals for each month. I will follow this plan as closely as possible.

It's very easy to lose time to the television set, so it's extra important to make sure the day's commitments are met FIRST.

"What's preventing you from achieving your ten-year goals inside of six months?" -- Peter Thiel

Get organized. Get FOCUSED. Get to work!

Priorities this week: making progress on the VieDay app, making use of the new JAM stack blog, and work on Ricoh.

Start thinking of yourself as a character in your own video game, and choose the actions that will "level you up".

WHEN it comes to things you are PROCRASTINATING on: If not NOW, then WHEN? Set a firm time or deadline to do it.

It's time to meditate, exercise, organize, and get to work! Remember to review your list of daily affirmations.
