Sigma Hextech Grindset

Journals - Major Programs
#1

Education & Business

Who am I?
I’m a student, gamer and make a tiny bit of money with my artistic skills as a side hustle.
Most people know me from my gmx journal. All gaming related updates will be there, as I’m purposely separating these journals now.

Wtf is that topic name?
People who’ve watched Arcane understand the reference/meme. To elaborate, it’s based on my fav character in the show - a scientist researching about “Hextech” (mysterious, magical crystals). A sigma focused on his grind.

Goals (sorted in regards to priority)

  1. Excel at college, study more, apply knowledge in own projects
  2. Improve own financial situation, whether that’s through my already existing side hustle or by building more income streams

Current Stack (might be modified with time, but core goals in this journal remain the same)

Ascended Mogul Qv2
R.I.C.H. ZP

Last college online lessons I was actually speaking a decent amount, which I rarely do because of social anxiety or feeling awkward/not that interested, even if it’s unreasonable at times.

We played kahoot and after the first question I realized that it wasn’t enough to answer correctly, but you gotta be the fastest too ahahaha. This fueled my inner competitor, so I made use of my epic gamer reflexes. Got from 9th place to 1st after some rounds. Unfortunately i choked in the end, only placing 2nd.

Solid progress in today’s study session too, despite 0 sleep, due to an attempt to fix my sleep schedule.
(In case you still see my previous entry “post deleted by author”, I almost fell asleep writing this and misclicked on “reply”.)

My senses for spotting stuff that’s not aligned with my goals seem to be sharper than ever nowadays. Not sure what exactly in my stack is causing this.

I don’t socialize anymore just to be liked by others. I realized how much time I’ve wasted chatting with people due to that reason.
What led me to this observation? Being in a dark place, disappointed and wondering what got me to my current place in life. A conversation in my head, just with myself, alone. It gave me clarity, being away from other influences and voices for a while.

College:
Finally was able to solve a difficult problem regarding my assignments. Still lots of things to get done and to study, as deadlines are approaching.

Money:
Earned much more in sales this xmas time compared to the last one. It ain’t much, but it’s progress.

Health:
I’ve built my own weird toolkit for my mental health. Basically I’ve created an own discord server just for myself, filled with bunch of resources (music, pics, videos, links, books…), role models, stuff i like and some other useful things. Even an own vent text channel, in case recon is hitting me hard one day. Furthermore an own psychoanalysis text-channel to debunk my toxic thoughts. Method is kinda unconventional, but it works well for me personally.

Listening to AM Qv2 caused my strange fatigue I believe. Can’t explain why exactly.

However R.I.C.H. ZP feels much better. Maybe AM is too dense or is conflicting too much with my subconscious beliefs?

Did some research and tasks regarding an income stream, excited to continue working on it. I’m getting more and more ideas how to utilize my current skillset to make money + how to expand my skills/knowledge. Beginning to have a less fixed mindset about wealth, which I got from my parents due to their situation and experience.

Had one day left for an assignment for my audio subject, so I pulled myself together and studied. Had to learn how to use an audio editing software from scratch and different methods to manipulate sound. Noticed increased endurance while studying, even if it got more difficult in the afternoon/evening, being tired after more than 8h of learning something new and having to be focused.

So I’m pretty proud that I made it on time and that I received positive feedback on the assignment.
It was a fun task where I had to choose 1 out of 5 given Overwatch characters and create my own audio for the character’s highlight intro clip.
