Day 7 / 108 Challenge

#7

"I bow to think about my true desires"

I lost the edge. Now I wake up like a regular human being. Struggling to get up by 7am. I planned on doing a light cardio in the morning as it is my off day from the gym. An hour in the morning is crucial to be productive throughout the day, because usually there are less distraction and people demand less attention from you. Plus you will not be drained from daily activities, so you can bear more stress. Honestly, I can probably list endless reasons why it is beneficial for me. I must get the jet-lag edge back.

I was off to a rocky start, but I was performing better as the day went by. One thing I started to notice was that I became more articulate. I heard journalling improves your communication skills (that's why I wanted to start writing more), but I never knew how effective it would be. I mean it's only been a week, but I am noticing a significant improvement.

If I must explain, I can better process sentences I am about to deliver and put together words in a timely manner. I still struggle to finish off what I started, or easily get distracted by the next topic my brain decided to spiral off to, but I am much clearly able to deliver the intended message.

Rethinking my investment decision now that I saw this on CNBC

The evening took a quite interesting turn when I decided to go for a site-seeing (yes, it is not a typo) on a property I had my eyes on with my friend. This was an impulsive decision followed by an hour of discussing couple investment candidates. I got to learn more about construction side of the real estate business, and a unique way to raise capital to fund the projects which might provide more alpha to my investment thesis. More on this later when I make a decision. Funny enough, today's prayer is to think about my true desire.

Should've/Would've/Could've

-- I have attempted to clean the kitchen, but decided to work more on scoping real estate or writing this journal longer. I could have cleaned it in the morning if I woke up earlier...
