So I am ill again (talk about fucked up health lol. Working on it though), and had some time on my hands. So I went to youtube
Time Management from a real expert - a person with 6 more months to live (he is now dead).
It really highlights the needs to evaluate what we do, plan our time and focus on important things.
The overall goal in whatever you do should be to have fun.

Tips:
1) Use to -do lists. Always do the 'ugly' things first
2) Do things from Important, Due soon-> Important, not due now. People focus on unimportant things due now way too much. Always keep opportunity cost in mind.
3) Find your creative times and your 'dead' times. Do boring/repetitive or easy things in your weak times during the day
Time is the most important commodity, that you never can get back. You can get money later, but time is gone once it passes.
It is useful to set up a time journal for 3-14 days, and see how you spend your time, and see how you waste it
Interview shortly before he died:
Values/needs in life
Every human has the need for:
1) Certainty - achieved through knowledge or skill or experience
2) Uncertainty - we want new things to happen
3) Significance - we like to matter, be it through money, power, influence or clothes
4) Love/ connection (with people)
5) Grow -we want to get better/further
6) Contribute beyond ourselves - we want to help others
Every person has a different map of needs and values, and will lean towards one or more of the above. Still every person needs all of those.
Obama
Pretty refreshing seeing an intelligent president that doesn't take himself seriously (and is not a complete retard like Bush - seriously, how fucked up a country must be to have voted him in the office. TWICE.)
Bill Gatesbefore his retirenment
Skip to 5:30 for pretty funny vid with a truckload of A-listers.
P.S. re my previous blog, there are easy steps for balancing nutrition and moving towards 100% Health (derived from a study of a 55,000+sample of respondents to a health survey). These are just a basic general changes, and my first step in the next few weeks before I will go into specifics.
1) Reduce wheat consumption to 1 serving/day (White bread, pasta, pizza)
2) No refined sugar snacks. At all.
3) Stop adding extra salt to food.
4) Refined foods = max 1 serving/day (white bread, flour...)
5) Eat 8-10 servings of vegetable/fruit per day
6) Lower consumption of red meat to max 2 servings/week
7) Eat fresh oily fish at least 3 servings/week
8) Eat fresh, raw seeds 3 times per day
9) Drink 11 glasses of water minimum every day

I feel ashamed, I really do.
Try visiting the more conservative areas of the US and then you'll start to realize just how easy it is to manipulate that crowd with pretty words like "god, faith, justice, etc"

I dont see how anyone can enjoy life living by such a strict regimen as you have outlined. Doesnt that seem kinda counter productive? Unless you are grossly unhealthy and NEED these changes, cant you just do what you want within reason, and enjoy life? I dont eat 8-10 servings of fruit/vegies per day, or raw seed or any of that shit. Am I missing out? Would I feel better if I did? Possibly, but that feeling would be countered by the sheer annoyance of having to focus on it every fucking waking second lol.
Btw dont take frequent illness negatively right now, you just started working out right? It's normal to get sick a couple of times if you arent used to exertion, since your body's defenses are being consumed by your physical recovery.
bye now

I mean, how hard is it to change a couple habits? It will take months and you change your life? If you have a healthy diet and get vitamins etc. you will live longer and have less danger of serious diseases, and you will feel better overall (+weight loss is so much easier and comes automatically).
I agree it is extremely hard and annoying, and I am in front of that hurdle of not overeating on takeaway 3 times per week, and not grabbing a pizza or crisps as a snack. But it should take a couple months to change the routine and then you won't think about it...at all, you just replace what you eat with different foods.
And time management is not about a strict regime imo Its about getting the important things that you need to get done done, so that you both develop but also have time for things that you enjoy, and to do things that contribute to the needs described in the second vid.
