End of Week 3

3 out of 5 ain't bad. I'm well into the program and I really do feel different. I think I'm reading more, but I haven't been keeping track of it. I've been working harder around the house and not getting stuck avoiding things that I should be doing but don't feel like.

I've also had some pretty major revelations about how I've been living my life. I can't say I'm really more productive right now than I was, but I think that has a lot to do with setting up real goals and making plans to accomplish them.

I think the biggest setback this week has been the sunburn which I cannot wait to get rid of. What's funny is that it happened because I was actually too focused on pulling those weeds, so I guess I need to learn to turn it off sometimes and take a break.

This has also been the first week where I let my friends know about this blog. You'll notice that the comments have been disabled. I'm pretty jaded on the idea of comment systems in general and think that if you can't contact me on another channel, I'm probably not interested.

That being said, I think today I'm going to announce this to some of the communties I belong to and see if there's any interest there.


In all, I've enjoyed week 3. I think the new games they introduced kept me interested and the fact that they swap out some of my worst every other day is appreciated. I can come back to them fresh instead of getting bent out.


Oh, say. Let's get you some data.

So you can see my index (my overall score) is going up and up. I don't remember quite where my overall goal for the index improvement was, but I feel pretty good that I'll make it.

You can also see my focus times (the bottom bar) getting shorter. That's me responding quicker and thinking about it less. The top bar is mostly spent blogging, but occasionally a little day dreaming or stress ball time gets in. That bar was pretty big at the start of the week (42 mins) but has settled at around 25.

Everything right of the red bar happened this week. I started 3d Cube and Asteroids and you can see that I'm just exploding on the cube. I'll likely top out around 6 next week but hopefully I can break out again.

I've also started breaking out on the grids (Visual Data Link, Rotating Data Link, and Data Room). I predicted that last week and I'm very happy with my progress.

Everything else has either been drifting up or the bars are shortening (which means that I'm staying near my peak performance).

I've also been warned that I haven't been taking enough credit in my writing. I say "we" or "the" a lot, when really I'm the only one doing it. So with that I'M very happy with how I'VE been doing.
