All of us have played the victim role at some points in our lives. Yes even entrepreneurs do it. Remember when you blamed your sibling for your anger because they took your seat at the dining table? Did you feel bad when you had to do your chores after school and felt like it was too much? How about when you put all the blame on one colleague for messing up a project at work?

My Ultraworking Pentathlon Update: Day 13
Key habits tip I relearned - remove choice. My monkey mind can think of a zillion excuses why to do something later. From https://zenhabits.net/ Remove choice. Don’t think about it — make a decision ahead of time to do it every day at the same time for at least a month, then each day, don’t make it a decision. Just start. Have a trigger that’s already in your daily life (like waking up, or showering, brushing your teeth, starting the coffee maker, eating lunch, whatever) and use that … [Read more...] about My Ultraworking Pentathlon Update: Day 13

My Ultraworking Pentathalon Day 8: Travel + Focus
I took a trip to Puno by train and wanted to maintain my good health and work habits during the 2-day trip. So! I got up early to get in my exercise, went to bed early the night before and during the trip. And I planned work ahead of time that did not need internet access. I also picked it as my "1" day of eating anything in my 5-11 diet so I could enjoy the great food and service on the train.
