Journal Entry #2 – 30th September 2025
I’ve had a look back on the last entry on Thursday. I spoke about re-igniting the motivation I had back in college. I need to create the conditions, both mentally and physically to get back to a state where I’m driven to create and produce great work. Right now my actions don’t align with my goals. I need some new patterns. I need to remove some existing patterns.
One pattern that is slowing me down from making progress is watching Youtube. I don’t like to admit it, but the first thing I do in the morning is make a coffee and sit on the sofa on my phone. I’ll either be scrolling through Shorts or watching a video that gives me anxiety and makes me think the world is falling apart. Neither of these has a positive effect on my day, so this is the first existing pattern I want to break.
I will replace it with a short exercise routine. This will include some combination of squats, push ups and pull ups. I’ll start tomorrow morning.
