Howdy Crickets… hm… I kind of like this intro even though I don’t think that I’ve ever used the word “Howdy” in my entire life. Either way, I’m going to stick with it as today’s Operation Achieve Anything greeting. Today makes day number thirty-three and once again I have to admit that I’m a bit underwhelmed by both of the assignments that I’m here to report on.

Good morning Crickets, it’s Operation Achieve Anything time. Today makes the last day of the first month and I hate to admit that this Achieve Anything… book is really starting to test my patience. I’m fully aware that there are still 334 days left to this challenge which is why the book might be slow at rolling out more lofty assignments, but I really am getting burnt-out on the cliché task and no follow through.

Hello Crickets, time for another Operation Achieve Anything update on day number thirty of this year-long daily challenge. Once again, it’s extra early as I’m evolving to be a morning person who wakes with the sun for some reason. Though I do really enjoy how this new morning routine allows me to get my daily obligations done before I used to even wake up, I miss the energy that I used to feel while working through the night while the rest of the world was in slumber.

Good morning Crickets and welcome to the start of week number five of Operation Achieve Anything. I woke extra early this morning in order to get all of my blogging out of the way nice and early so that I can procrastinate the rest of my day away while I attempt to start the second draft of my next novel. I know procrastination is supposed to be bad, but it seems to be part of my day one process when it comes to long format writing.

Happy Sunday Crickets, today’s post marks the end of the fourth week of Operation Achieve Anything, and even though I may come across as resistant, if not dismissive toward some of the assignments, I’d say that the overall challenge is still going strong. To be clear though; when I do take issue with an assignment, it’s usually because I’ve either attempted a task in the past and didn’t see the benefits, or just see things a different way.

Good morning Crickets, I’m back again for another update to keep you posted on my Operation Achieve Anything progress. Being that it’s the weekend and I want to take it easy today, this is going to be a quick one where I just right into sharing my assignment progress instead of building up to it with my morning ramblings. With that said, here we go…

Hey Crickets, time for another update!!! As I pointed out yesterday, I’m still going strong with this challenge but am getting a little burnt out on the slow build to more challenging task. At the same time, I fully understand why the Achieve Anything… book has set this pace to build up a mindset to get readers through the year-long game-plan to achieve a goal.

Alright Crickets, here we go with another day of Operation Achieve Anything. We’re now twenty-five days into this challenge, and I’m starting to get burnt out on all of the Achieve Anything… book’s self-help push to promote happiness as the key to success and can’t wait to move on and start focusing on actually achieving a goal.

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number twenty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. I love how at this point of the challenge the date matches up with the day count making it super easy to remember where I left off. I also like how this year started on a Monday making the Sundays of the month divisible by seven making four Sundays equal precisely four weeks passage of time. These are the weird thoughts that keep me going these days.

Hello Crickets, I started today with a flashback to my high school days by waiting until the very last second to finally get to my assignment. Luckily, unlike with school, I’m in control of the rules and have absolutely no problem with fudging around with my deadlines with my definition of a day.

Welcome back Crickets, it’s time to start day number twenty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. I’m still feeling a tad bit run down, but it could just be a psychosomatic attempt from my brain to get me to stay in bed to daydream about the future to provide content for the uptick in the number of vivid dreams I’ve been having lately.

Alright Crickets, it’s another Sunday and time to get to get to work on my efforts to Achieve my Anything. I’m going to try to make today quick because I’m feeling a tad bit sick and want to spend the day wrapped up in bed, under my new weighted blanket, in hopes that it will facilitate a quicker recovery.

Welcome back Crickets, it’s now time for some more fun and games as I continue to work through Achieve Anything In Just One Year as part of my Operation Achieve Anything challenge. Though I might have seemed a bit down over the past couple of days, I’m actually still enjoying the process; it just turns out that one can’t be happy all of the time.

Good morning Crickets!!!  Though I have mixed feeling on how my I like this Crickets greeting as my daily opening pleasantry, I’m going to continue to try it on for a while to see if it’s an actual fit. I’ve used it from time to time in the past following the point where The Daily Breaker took on the “letters to no one” format where I write to a specific someone who just isn’t there, as opposed to the random musings this section of the site used to be when I started out.

Good morning Crickets, it’s time for another update!!! It’s day number eight teen, and I have to admit that my enthusiasm is starting to diminish. That’s not to say that I’m losing interest, but I do feel my energy levels starting to drop since I currently feel like I am just going through the motions at this point without any burst of encouragement that might come if I felt that I was making more progress.

Hello Crickets, here we go again for day number seventeen of Operation Achieve Anything. Once again, yesterday’s assignment, that I’m about to provide an update on, and the new assignment, that I’m about to share, both involve practices that I’m not just aware of but have already been actively using in my life.

Hello Crickets and welcome to another day of operation achieve anything. This is my second stab at this post thanks to a technical glitch that whipped out my entire first draft. Please keep this in mind if this new post feels less inspired than usual since I’m now writing with a rather annoyed frame of mind. Then again, I did take a walk and feel myself calming now that things are stable once again.

Happy MLK Day everyone!!! Things are still going strong, but once again, I find myself in a tough situation where the assignment for the day is something that I've already done, on the regular, since creating this blog. I think I have a workaround, but I'll get to that later in this post when I get to discussing today's assignment.

Here we are at the end of week two of Operation Achieve Anything and things are still going pretty well. Granted, most of the assignments up to this point have been simple tasks that seem to foreshadow future calls to action, but I appreciate this slow-building approach, especially when you consider there are still three hundred and fifty-one days left to this challenge.
