It’s the beginning of the week, and we’ve got to get moving!
Here’s my routine for the week:
Reading daily; Writing daily; Exercise Daily; Spiritual tasks daily; Learning daily; and Posting quotes/blogging daily.
One of my favorite tasks each day is programming. I am really enjoying Python. I’ve been at it for a year, and now I’m starting to feel some comfort with it. I’ve still got more to learn, but I’m getting there.
Have a great week, folks!
Until next time…

The late Stephen Covey wrote about the Circle of Control in his book: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The Circle of Control is what you control entirely. It is your attitude, your belief system, your values, and your actions. The Circle of Control does not depend on anyone or anything else.
What a lot of people worry about is what is called the Circle of Concern. They are concerned about the weather, what another person will do, or what event might happen. Do they have control of any of these things? No. This is why the Circle of Concern if focused on will actually shrink the Circle of Control. Focus on what you can control and you will grow your Circle of Control. Take this little piece of advice into the upcoming week. You’ll be less stressed and more productive.
Here’s my week folks (All tasks listed below are daily tasks (Monday – Saturday):
Physical: (See Workout Routine)
Mental: Reading Star Carrier Series Book 3, Reading my Bible, Computer Science Path on Codecademy, and working on my book, The Forever Soldier.
Spiritual: Reading my Bible, Gratitude and Dream Journaling, Working through my Spiritual discourses, doing my spiritual exercises
Social: Post uplifting quotes and poems, Blogging, staying in contact with my friends and family
Have a great week, folks!
Until next time…

Well, folks. It’s the beginning of a new week. What do you have planned to accomplish this week? What habits are you trying to establish or maintain?
This week is the beginning of week three of Kris Gethin’ s Hardcore trainer. This week, I’ll be doing two 30-minute cardio sessions, combined with weight training Mon-Fri.
I also have some online classes I’m taking: Udemy course on nonfiction book writing, a Happiness course from Yale on Coursera, and a course on U.S. Presidents offered for free by Hillsdale College.
This week, I’m elevating the game on my exercise routine by documenting my meals, sleep, weight, supplements, and exercise routines. I’ve got a buddy of mine that I will email these to each day to keep myself accountable.
For my spiritual pursuits, I will do two sessions of meditation each day (once in the morning and once in the evening before bed), read my Bible daily, and read a chapter in a religious book each day.
How do you structure your week? What are you doing to improve physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially? Let me know in the comments area if you are comfortable with sharing.
Have a great week everybody!!
Until next time…
Dave
