"I bow to appreciate my parents for giving birth to me"



Despite suffering from crippling jet-lag, I decided to take advantage of the fact that I was up so early. I began by further finalizing the website, and my daily routine to complete this 108 challenge. I find that we can operate more efficiently when we have a schedule to stick to. Frees our energy from thinking what to do next or throughout the day.


I had not been to my commercial gym yet this year, so I decided to do my daily exercise there and then head over to the office to get reading/studying done. Both sessions were effective.


Catching up with friends are not part of the requirement, but I am inclined to include this into the next challenge if I ever do one. I am starting to learn that staying connected by reaching out to people you care about goes a long way. Even if it is just a single text or a quick phone call. You also do not know where the conversation may take you. Today while I was catching up with one of my friends, I got to share my real estate investment plan. We ended up scheduling a meeting to analyze couple properties together.

Should've/Would've/Could've


-- Focused too much on getting things done, my meal#3 got pushed 2 hours. Will need to plan the day better on weekends to stay consistent with meal time.


-- House needs more of my love. Been prolonging the cleaning in certain areas and place is getting progressively messier. Perhaps a deep cleaning tomorrow instead of going out.
