Yeah, back on track !!!

Woke up at 5 after sleeping at 11. But Since it was way too cold, I decided to sleep in for an hr. Again woke at 6 ( All this without any alarm, though that has been my style always) and went to gym. Today, there was actually a few people, and a queue for trademill, so skipped that part and worked only on weight training.

Today I need to figure out to set goals, to do lists, and get the whole time management thing together. Now, I think I have got the momentum going for me, and the new habits are comfortably ingrained. So, I think its now time to go one step ahead and utilize the free time and energy I am getting out of all these brand new habits!

I mean, I exercise, I read books, I study extra things, I attend lectures, and still I find I have huge chunks of time and no goal to go towards. So this situation must be rectified. A couple of more goals, nothing too much, nothing too stressful, always keeping ample time for breaks.

Another of my observation is that I do feel tired of sleepy at times. But I don’t feel groggy or mentally tired now a days. So, the non caffeine thing must be working already! Tomorrow I will complete first week of this new life I have been steering myself to, and already it feels as if I have been living like this since I was born. The old habits are quite out of my mind now, and I hope they are out of my life as well. So, I think a scaffold has been created of these habits, and I can cautiously but consistently build further improvements in the monument that is my life. So, I will allot some time today and tomorrow to sort out the goal setting and time management stuff.

Just came back from a lecture on Alliances and JV. The prof is so knowledgeable that it’s a pleasure to listen to him give examples. One thing which I was thinking during his lecture was how people have perspectives on life. Some are very serious about everything they encounter, some live through their life criticizing others and so on. I need to write something on this line of thought.

Also, I have now realized what I was missing from life. For example, alertness, freshness of mind, free flow of ideas, a better ( much better ) recall of facts, previously read things and other such stuff. Now I have realized where I had let myself slip to, such low and pathetic vegetative state of existence. The tide has turned though, and I am eager to reach the other side of the valley, which is the pinnacle of such meaningful life.

The lecture which TC gave today was awesome! well, technically he is supposed to teach taxation, but who cares He talked about impending US recession which could be converted into global recession, fall of NIKKEI, asset bubble in India which is on the verge of bursting and investments of moslem funds in Citi and UBS. Trully a changing experience.

As I was planning, I finished the book “Influence: science and practice” in the night, and slept at 11.
