Day-1/ 730


The Day's Unfolding: From Global News to Personal Gains
Woke up a bit before my alarm today – a small win. The first thing that hit me was the news about Trump declaring a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Honestly, it's wild how when someone's powerful, everyone just seems to listen. Then came the leaked report about match-fixing between Iran and the US, leaving Iran and Israel confused. It makes you wonder how much of what governments tell us is the real story, versus what's happening behind the scenes. Like that situation with Thailand's PM and the Cambodian ex-leader, where a leaked call could cost her everything. Just a lot to think about right after waking up!

Finding My Stride (and My Space)
After all that mental gymnastics, I put on some morning music. But then my parents burst into my room, loud and oblivious to my desire for a peaceful start. My initial annoyance quickly faded though. I realized that a calm mindset isn't about others catering to my comfort; it's about me taking responsibility. Right now, I'm dependent on them, so if I want comfort, privacy, and space, I need to work for it. My age is definitely climbing, and it's time to act fast. So, a quick face wash, and it was straight into my schedule.

The Study Grind and Reality Checks
The first part of my day went pretty great. Got some stretches in, and my study schedule was mostly on track. There were moments I felt lazy, but I pushed through. Getting into this exam feels like making it to the Olympics for studies, so I'm training myself that way. My biggest immediate goal? Not getting irritated with my parents, especially since I'm relying on them. I even shifted from my chair to my bed to keep things fresh while studying.

The second half, though, didn't go as smoothly. I definitely need to focus more during my Pomodoro sessions. My night routine needs an overhaul, and I really need to get a handle on my leisure time. And seriously, less unnecessary news, more articles and magazines. I didn't get to practice math today, but from tomorrow, I'm committing to at least an hour, plus 10 pages of current affairs. I'm almost done with the history portion and hoping to finish medieval history tomorrow and dive into modern.

Consistency is key this time, not just for me, but because my parents have so much hope, and yeah, for my country too.

How do you tackle those moments when your plans go a little off track?

Day 5/730

Chasing Better Days: Overslept, Overate, but Still Grinding Hey, hustlers! It’s me, back with another chapter of my beautifully messy life. Today was like trying to herd cats while riding a unicycle—challenging, but I made it work. Let’s unpack the chaos. So, I overslept. * Three hours late *. My alarm clock is basically trolling me at this point. I spent two whole hours sulking, feeling like I’d already fumbled the day. But then I snapped out of it, dusted off the disappointment, and got my schedule rolling. Was it smooth sailing? Not quite, but it was progress. I’m on a mission to become a better me—stronger, sharper, all that good stuff. But some days, it feels like I’m stuck in reverse. No worries, though—I’m not letting these hiccups derail me. I’m locked in, determined to nail my schedule, and it’s gotta happen on time. No excuses. The win of the day? Kept my phone on the desk, far from distraction city. Things were going great until a heavy lunch turned me into a human sloth. ...
