Happy Friday!

You’ll enjoy this week’s edition of Funny Friday with this 8 minute video of animal videos. These are just terrific!

I hope each of you has a great weekend, filled with love, happiness, and joy. I’ll be playing Far Cry 6 on the XBox, Call of Duty Mobile (enjoying the Halloween theme), and will jump on normal Call of Duty to enjoy my time in their Halloween-themed maps and weapons as well. It will be a great weekend!!

That’s it for now. Enjoy the video. Decompress, relax, and turn off work for a few days. You owe it to yourself to sleep in, go on some weekend excursions, or heck, just binge watch some shows on your favorite streaming service.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Motivation Monday – August!!

consistent, little, motivation, Read, Start, Steps, Write

Can you believe we are already in August? Wow, does time fly.

This is why it is so important to do little things each day to address your goals and aspirations. Do a little each day. You’ll be amazed how much traction you will make toward these goals by year’s end.

Read a little, write a little, exercise a little, meditate a little, pamper yourself a little, etc. These are my areas of concentration, so yours will be different. It’s little activities, consistently done over time that result in huge impacts later in life.

It also does not matter when you start. So what if you had an unproductive year. So what is you don’t have any idea what you want to do. So what, so what, so what.

Pick something new or something you’ve always wanted to do. Start small. Make it simple. Then do a little every day.

Happy August, folks!

Have a great Monday! Have a great week!

Until next time…

This week’s challenge is another easy one (maybe): Read a book that’s been sitting on your shelf, desk, or nightstand and finish it this week.

In the comments, tell me the book you read.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Motivation Monday – Staying Busy

I’m a dabbler. I enjoy doing lots of things during the day and love the variety of tasks I set for myself. My motivation is provided by the variety. A variety of books to read (I read multiple books simultaneously), a variety of classes to take, going to the gym, running errands, working on my book, and all the rest.

If you are bored or overwhelmed, adjust your schedule. Either add more things to your day or take some away. Be flexible and monitor yourself at the end of the day. If I consistently finish all of my stuff too quickly and find myself getting antsy, I add some stuff to my calendar for the next day. If I can’t finish all the things I have scheduled or feeling resistance to my daily rituals, I back some things off.

Ok, folks. Here’s my schedule for the week:

• Work on Book Daily
• Read Daily
• Blog Daily
• Journal Daily
• Code Daily (Computer Science Course Codecademy)
• Meditate Daily
• Exercise Daily (See my Workout Routine post for the week)
• Learn daily (classes in Algebra, American History, Autism Spectrum Disorder)
• Budget Daily

I hope all of you have a terrific week! Remember, take time to monitor how you feel about your daily routines. Be flexible and be prepared to adjust, keeping in mind your core priorities.

Until next time…
