It is 1:30AM
I set a timer for 1 hour and told myself I’m going to study data science today regardless of how good or bad my day goes. I also told a friend if I did not study, I have to take a cold shower. Cold showers in the winter are not fun. Luckily, I did not take a cold shower today 
Today was the ultimate test of QL ST4.
I am heavily underslept. I had about 4-5 hours of very poor quality sleep. I slept without my heater and my blanket was in the laundry. I had this crazy dream of fighting zombies with my new martial arts training.
There were moments today where I was standing and falling asleep. However, the rest of my day was under a trance like focused state of work. I was clumsy. I was tripping over things, but the work got done. I made maybe 20% more errors today but I course corrected and got the job done.
My diet today was poor. My sleep today was poor. My body is a bit damaged from the martial arts training. I have the full argument to sleep early and shirk all responsibilities.
But no. I am not allowing another day to slip by and I don’t move the needle forward on my goals. QL ST4 has given me the strength to push through the day. I am writing this post after my 1 hour study session.
I took a 2 hour nap once I got home from work(was supposed to be 20 minutes) and woke up, gave my friend a call and ranted about how nothing is OK. I am not doing enough. I am not putting enough hours of focused work on my goals. It was as if my brain dumped out this information after processing everything.
Serious question guys: How in the hell am I supposed to reach those goals if I am not putting in the hours? It is cool and all to pay for mentors, but what about the hours of training outside of the mentorship hours?
This week, I am setting up my google calendar. No more excuses. Things will be done at a certain time for a certain amount of time. Chores? there will be a time for that. Studying? Time for that. Working out? You already know. Practicing martial arts? I will make time.
At the bare minimum, I should have my goals prioritized and I should be progressing towards those goals every week, hour by hour.
Also…oh my god does my house look spotless. My bathtub sparkles in the light a bright pearly white. My toilet…you could eat off of it. I disinfected everything. My sink is shiny, no toothpaste marks or grime anywhere.
future projects: whiten the grout on bathroom tiles, set up groom station, buy a soap holder, paint walls
Anyways, today was the litmus test. QL ST4 pulled through and I crushed another day (considering how badly I had treated my health)
Good night. This is worth the money folks.
