    I watched the complete four season series of “You.” There are 10 episodes per season, and each episode is an hour. Which means I used 30 hours to watch this series and could have used that time to better myself. Why do I keep doing this to myself? I keep procrastinating! I do not have much time left, I am human. Time is finite. Time to really get my act together and get obsessed on what I want to have for my future.

    I leased procrastinator.im. I transferred/moved procrastinator.work to procrastinator.im. I did a DNS forward of procrastinator.work to procrastinator.im. Total time taken, about 2 hours.

    I must stop procrastinating, and for me to do this, I must stay consistent…

    2022 is the year I make that change!

    What did I do today?
    I will provide an update after I meditate.

    Update @ 23:48
    Woke up at 3:30 AM, started the day well, put away the dishes, made coffee. While the coffee was brewing, I started to sort my study plan. AND that was about as productive as I got. Ate and slept most of the day. 🙁

    I have to kick this addiction to procrastination. I really want to succeed in life, have a business that I can pass on to my Wife and Kids if they choose to want to carry on… BUT at the pace I am going, I will leave nothing by scorched earth.

    I feel really lost. No direction. I look at domain names to maybe spark the fire and get me excited and build something that will bring in money, but zilch, nada, goose egg. My diet is nonexistent, I am overweight, my financials is just as bad as my weight. My credit score is exceptionally great, above 800, but that is only because I have been paying off all the balances each month. What I need to do is stop charging! So this puts the spending in the same category as my weight. I wonder if I fix my weight problem, if that will trickle through to fix my financials? Hmmm.. I will try.

    Currently I have close to 400 domain names. I am still wondering in how to turn them into a business. Right now, the domain names are just draining my bank account. 🤬

    My current life is like a leaky faucet and I have to fix this issue as soon as possible, because if I do not, the situation is only going to get worse!

    No matter how good my intentions, I seem to fail. I continue to sabotage myself. I keep watching television and movies on Netflix, Amazon, and downloads. I am listening to a book recording, the Procrastination Equation. One of the tips is to get ahead of things that will make me procrastinate. I believe I can implement today. I have so much on my plate, yet have not started to eat.

    Just have to say no to the things that stop my forward progress! I must get out this year or I will be stuck forever. I do not want to die with the dream still inside me…

    Inch by inch, life is a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.
    When things are too big, break down to the littlest possible portion.
    Keep doing what I have been doing and I will keep getting what I have been getting.

    I do not feel well… Lately the little lump on my forehead has started to cause pain. My stomach has been hurting. I am being optimistic, that may be just something I ate, or a bug. But I have made a doctor’s appointment. If I did not think that I had much time before, I think that my time has just shrunk…
