Reflections
Richer
- Spent nearly 3,500 AED. Spending less not impacted. Covered several monthly expenses this week.
- Got an unexpected $1,750 refund from AIW. Could have gotten more.
More Powerful
- No, not in any meaningful way. Some internal wins. But reach and influence has not grown in the past week.
Happier
- Faced a lot of nervousness and anxiety addressing areas I've been avoiding. Wasn't pleasant, but proud of it. Broke the enemy's back, and now it's easy.
Stronger
- More consistent in the gym. More fat. Boxing sparring with Nico will improve my boxing.
- Not tracking progress in the gym well. For now, it's fine. Other priorities.
- More cardio has shown improvement in HRV and RHR again.
Wiser
- Learned from Nico: I'm an inconsistent and emotionally driven opponent. If I could stay in state more I would be extremely difficult to beat.
- Distraction is the enemy even more. Phone. Book. Game. Anything that isn't the intention in the moment. Going to battle with this opponent next week.
Acting Smarter
- Followed habit board less. Didn't progress towards business goal. Finally handled finances and understand my money position.
Did I Have the Week I Planned?
- No formal week assessment recorded for this week.
Changes to Implement
- Track spending in KPI sheet every day. Add to evening habit tracker.
- Add smiling, laughing to AM tracker.
- Continue going to the gym consistently and lifting heavy. Take gym clothes to Ritz, change at UFC, run up the building when arriving home.
- Stop listening to books or engaging in other distractions when working. When I work, I should work.
- Begin working with Claude Cowork and leverage AI for greater productivity.
- Go offline more. Read instead of playing games.
- No screens late in the evening. Replace with positive offline activities: reading, stretching, meditation, writing, reflecting, journaling, calling parents/Anu/friends.
- Focus much more on Upwork and its performance.
- Contact every SSG lead and see if there's an opportunity to work with them again.
- Make good use of Business Initiative Tracker to bring things to completion.
Future Pacing
Extremely good, so long as there's tangible output. Business is improved, got a lot done, more opportunities, allocated time well. Time and focus allocation is what I want to continually improve. I want to be a master operator who can move mountains with massive leverage. Implemented knowledge as a fulcrum.
