Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
I used to use so many excuses. Why I couldn’t do this or that. Have you ever felt that? If so, use this quote for motivation.
Start where you are. We are all some place. Think about what you want to do this week. Think about how you will accomplish these things. Plan then out, get them on your calendar and execute. Just assume you’ll get them done. If something appears to be too complicated, plan it out, break it down. Maybe you only do one step this week. Next week, you’ll tackle the next step(s).
If you’re a creative and stuck, don’t worry. There are no rules surrounding creativity. Some days you’ll be on fire, other days, you’ll be thinking how to move forward. Just keep thinking and working as best you can. You’ll get there.
This week, I’ll be doing my homework, exercising, doing my spiritual exercises, doing some chores around the house, reading, writing, learning. I’ll do some socializing, now that Michigan is predominantly opened back up. The libraries and coffee shops are open again–Thank God!
Sometimes, when I feel like I’m in a rut, I’ll head out to the library or one of my local coffee shops and work there. This year was tough getting out, but now that things are opening again, I’ll be back at it on a weekly basis.
Mondays for some folks are absolute torture. This used to be the way I felt too, especially when I was still working. How did I turn that around? I began doing the same things every day of the week, other than my “Do Nothing Day.” When I did this, Monday was just another day.
Well, that’s all I got for this week, folks. I hope all of you have a terrific week! Get out there and get at it. You’re the only one that can.
Until next time…

One of the tricks I use to get pumped up for the gym is to watch a great motivational video or listen to some inspiring music. Attack the week, folks!

Monday – Saturday:
20 minutes cardio
Upper Body (weights) Lower Body (weights) alternating every day.
Have a great week! Get at it, folks! You got this!

Here’s my schedule for the week:
I’ll be conducting some research on Afghanistan for my book. I’ll be taking three courses (Sociology on Study.com, Sociology course at Grand Canyon University, and Malcolm Gladwell’s writing course on Masterclass). I’ll also continue pushing through my Computer Science course. I’m currently working on a Python project that reinforces the algorithms surrounding various search strategies.
I’ll also continue reading my books. One of them is on politics by Ben Shapiro, the other is a book on Afghanistan for my book research, and the third is a book by one of my favorite new authors (K.M. Allan) who just released book two of her Blackbirch series.
I’ll be jounaling daily, blogging daily, doing my spiritual exercises, spiritual reading, physical exercises (see my workout routine posting), and posting meaningful quotes and other uplifting content to my social media feeds.
Well, that’s it folks. Keep pushing on whatever goals you set for the year. I realize that some of them have probably gotten nixed due to COVID, but do the best you can. I’m rootin’ for ya!
Have a great Monday!
Until next time…

Here we are again, folks. Another Monday. The start of another week, and another week to excel and succeed. Mondays used to be a drag. I’d have a great weekend, and then, before you know it, it’s time to head to work.
Now that my schedule is more my own, I love Monday. I love starting a new week, and driving through all of my tasks. I guess I’m somewhat addicted to checking things off my daily to-do list.
I hope all of you have a terrific week!
My upcoming week:
Write a paper for school
Write a discussion board posting for school and respond to two others
Work on my book
Work through my Python Course
Work through my writing Course on MasterClass
Exercise daily
Spiritual Exercise/Reading daily
Journaling daily
Post uplifting quotes, poems, and articles to my social media feeds
Until next time…
