3rd cycle of EoG st 1 and RoW. 2nd cycle of EoG st2
I had some big breakthroughs my first month on each sub. I realized that the plans I already had weren’t aligned with where I was in relation to the plans. I needed something more palpable and tangible for me to do now, than the big plans I had. I’ve always loved finance, and the stock market. This is one of the projects, and where I’m at now, short-term trading makes the most sense. I’d later rather move to swing or positional trading since that’s where I’d really shine and find the most balance. But I would also get bored during weekends and need projects to work on. So I also need a second project to work on - now I do.
After that? It’s been slow.
I’m making progress, but at the same time getting bothered by the fact that I’m not progressing as fast as I want to. I spend a couple hours a day working on stuff indirectly related to what I want to do and I find myself burning out. So I’m “wasting time” doing the small stuff, rather than the big stuff. One of the projects seems to be completely on hold because the timing for whatever reason seems off. (This is how I’m feeling, I’m not certain it’s true since I only started doing this “indirect” stuff after the subs, and it has my mind going over these thought-problems almost 24/7.) My “side-project” is the project that would most quickly have the most noticeable impact on my income and wealth, it relates to giving back, and it’s something I’d enjoy. The financial markets are more adapted to personality and skills and has much better scaleability - but I’m not finding myself progressing as quickly as I want. And when I try to push myself forward, I enter a phase where I need to recover.
Which is all in line with EoG and partly RoW where I have to find a balance of consistently moving forward without burning myself out. Stable and consistent progress, rather than explosive at the cost of well-being. But it’s annoying.
As I now write this out I also find myself being kinder to myself. I’m looking to do in weeks and months what other does in years, while also (trying) to retain a work/life balance.
EoG2 gave me lots of ideas to help structure this work/life balance, and these are getting in place. But it’s just one of those things that are step-by-step. I can’t make it so that I have 3 habits TOMORROW, that will allow me to perform better. I have to take one day at a time, and focus on that. While I would’ve loved to run EoG2 for one cycle, use all the ideas and daily routines to be part of my life for the next years, it’s just not realistic. And that sucks. 
EoG1 I’m having a hard time noticing stuff on. It’s the last week or so where I noticed as I was working through a problem related to trading how many limiting beliefs that are being overcome. I thought I was gonna leave EoG 1 after 3 months. But it’ll be at least 4 months. Not sure what happens to my stack after that.
One of the main things I’ve been pondering this last week is really the relation to - which subs do I choose based on my goals?
HoM is my sub. But it won’t have time to shine for another 2-4 years. Do I start running that one now or do I take it step-by-step until I can do my best at working with it? Previously I would’ve said start running it. Now I’m leaning towards taking it step-by-step, which I find to be a boring answer. But it might be the right one. That kind of question, line of thinking seems to be the main thing that EoG seems to be working on now. Where I’m more focused on the outcome, rather than the process that leads to the outcome. And not letting that outcome become more important than a healthy life/work balance - because it’s not.
