Day 8 / 108 Challenge

#8

"I bow to find myself and to learn how to control myself"

My first self-analysis of the day - the harder you discipline yourself, the harder your brain will try to be lazy. My morning started off as I was woken up by an alarm at 5:30am. I was not necessarily tired, but my brain immediately instructed to stay in the bed. And this is where my brain decided to go a step further. It told me to keep the blinds down, so I can rest better. Once I realized that I immediately got up and got the studying done.

Still majority of my time and effort goes into making decision on my next real estate investment, and I spoke to three different people in the industry about my idea. I still had not made a decision. I am starting to worry that it is taking up my capacity to study for my portfolio management exam, which should be my priority. Do less, better. Do the essential things only and excel at it.

I am going to take a look at few more properties tomorrow, so hopefully I can make up my mind soon. Then I will be able to focus on other goals I had set for myself.

Should've/Would've/Could've

-- It's great that I have a lot of different moving parts, and maintaining relationship with other people. But it is getting to a point where it is unsustainable to keep all parties satisfied. I should pick less area I want to focus on each day and put more energy on to it.

Drink/Dessert tickets remaining: 1

Mystery drink my friend offered (it was tequila)
