goals

I've just realized that it's almost december 2023 and so I have found it a bit funny that I'm starting this right now, but anyway, I have read in many places that you should give yourself 6 months to notice radical changes in your life, and since I'm currently trying to be more organized and consistent so I can live my dream life, I decided to give it a go :). My goals in a so-very-not-specific-and-concrete list:

Make schedules and stick to them.

Find people with similar goals so that we can motivate each other!

Make creative projects consistently.

Improve my health in all aspects (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc).

Also, a few years ago I created some blogs to help myself in the language learning journey with korean, french and german. I really liked it and I would like to be in a place where I can reactivate them and be constant again with them.

I want to do and learn so many things! and I expect that this blog will help me achieve those dreams, so: this blog's main goal is to assist me in the process of staying focused, so I can achieve the THAT girl badge*.

I don't really have an official plan as to what I will be posting about, but I guess it should be interesting information in regards to getting things done, motivational quotes, etc.

Thanks for reading :)

*I found it nice to think that being "that girl" is like a badge from girl scouts haha :), but idk if the concept of "that girl" is the same for everyone, as for myself, it means a woman who prioritizes herself (her health, her peace, her dreams...), and knows, values and honors herself for who she is.

Five Habits To Fix Your Problems

1. NON-NEGOTIABLE

Daily tasks or activities that are essential and must be completed each day without exception.

My non-negotiables are:

• 8-10K daily steps.

• Studying (your religious book)

• Cold Showers.

• 10 min journaling .

• No screen time an hour before bed.

• No food 2 hours before bed.

• Stretching.

2. 80/20 RULE

Investing most of your energy and time on specific tasks that create a big impact and maximize your productivity.

20% of the tasks yield 80% of the results.

80% of your productivity comes from

20% of your tasks. By identifying and prioritizing the most important tasks, you can maximize your efficiency and focus on what truly matters.

3. DOPAMINE DETOX

It's a method aimed at taking back control of your life by reducing dependency on instant gratification and increasing productivity.

Abstaining from activities that provide quick dopamine hits:

• social media

• video games

• excessive screen time.

By eliminating these distractions, you create space to focus on meaningful activities.

4. PLAN YOUR DAY THE NIGHT BEFORE

Get everything ready you need for the morning.

Things seem simpler when everything is planned and handy.

This practice allows you to be more intentional with your time and ensures that you are working towards your goals effectively.

• make a to-do list or block time for tasks

• Set out your gym and work clothes

• Prep your morning breakfast

5. CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS

Controlling your emotions can be a valuable skill that helps you address and navigate problems more effectively.

How controlling your emotions helps you: clear thinking (make rational)

Discipline

• Shadow work

• Improve problem solving

• Better communication

• And etc.

controlling your emotions does not mean suppressing or ignoring them. It's about acknowledging and understanding your emotions while choosing how to respond to them in a constructive manner.

It takes practice and self-awareness
