Personally, the last two weeks have been one of faltering for my own goals. Both my meditation and coding have succumbed to the greater good of work on my masters. Interestingly enough, I didn't actually put graduating as a goal, but it is now clear to me that achieving a distinction is something I'm really eager for. The last couple of weeks has seen three deadlines come and go, so things got a bit hectic! In that way, a new clear goal has emerged and pushed two other ones away.

However, I do intend to restart both of those that have stopped on Monday. I was a bit upset that I lost the 20 day meditation streak I had, but oh well. We can try again. Next goal is 30! The coding had actually started to go well as well and I was beginning to retain concepts, so I better get on it again ASAP. There's no reason I couldn't do that right now. Maybe I should...

With regards to meditation, just do it whenever you can. 10 minutes of sitting is better than 0 minutes of sitting.

Oh yeah, I totally agree. I could've kept it up if I really tried, I just fell out of the streak and have since failed to regain the motivation to start again. It's happened before and it'll happen again. I shall get back on it imminently.

What does the trick for me is doing it straight when I wake up. This does not work so good at days where you party all night and wake up in the afternoon. But in 5 of the 7 days a week it will work. Andl thats better than nothing...

Keep it up!

I've been really battling a sinus infection over here and haven't been able to focus on my goals with the sort of clarity that I'd like. I've been pretty good about my diet etc. and I've had some big wins professionally, which is great, but I feel completely out of it right now. Like I'm in a giant haze.

I've been making a shit-ton of music of late though, so there's that. If it weren't for the music...
