Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Seventy-One, Dateline 9-28-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-seventy-one of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Friday, I’m burnt out from the week and uninspired by yesterdays assignment, so I’m going to make this a quick update so I can attempt to get an early start to my weekend. With that, instead of the usual build-up, I’m just going to jump right in and start to share how I fulfilled yesterday’s task to note all the new things I learned throughout the day. Again, for those who didn’t read yesterday’s post, the reason I feel uninspired by the task is that it’s an exact duplicate of a task from a couple months ago and this book is getting even more repetitive the closer it gets to the end.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Seventy, Dateline 9-27-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-seventy of Operation Achieve Anything. One final note on my recent bout of concerns as to whether or not I’m putting in the right amount of effort I put into my day, that I feel stupid for just now figuring out. The real reason I’ve been overthinking this topic is that my day job has been extremely unstable over the past couple of week. In fact, I’ve had more days with no work available than I’ve had days where I actually been able to do my job.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-Nine, Dateline 9-26-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night I couldn’t stop thinking about how often these posts keep coming back to me trying to justify how I spend my time. Whether I’m claiming to need a break before I burn myself out, or beat myself up for not getting as much done as I planned, you have to remember I haven’t missed a deadline or bailed out on an obligation every since starting this site over five years ago.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-Eight, Dateline 9-25-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. The cold I was complaining about yesterday is still in effect. I’m still not entirely sure if I’m actually sick or is this is a psychosomatic effort from my body to trick me into getting more sleep. I’m kind of leaning toward the latter because aside from the morning sniffles and coughs I don’t really feel all that bad. Either way, I’ve gotten more sleep over the past two days than I have the past two weeks combined.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-Seven, Dateline 9-24-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday I woke with cold-like symptoms and joked to myself that this meant the season of heat is finally over. Today, looking out through my open door provided evidence that it might have been right as a see a beautiful overcast sky and a pleasant feel of the temperature as the outside air blows by.  Hopefully, this weather will hold up because I have much more energy when I’m cold.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-Six, Dateline 9-23-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. Once again, I’m stuck beating myself up for being a slacker after staying up all night doing nothing but work. The problem in my head this time is that, that I want to start my next project to get the ball rolling because there is more potential for it to lead to a profit than this page where I just share my thoughts.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-Five, Dateline 9-22-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-five of Operation Achieve Anything.  I don’t know for sure, but I think that the Achieve Anything… book’s current theme of underused ambition and lack of genuine effort has me feeling the need to defend the use of my time. It kind of seems that the book is saying that unsuccessful people are only failures because their not being honest with just how much they try. I know that the book never blatantly says that this is always the case, but even putting it out there makes it hard not to believe that this is how my efforts are seen by the world.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-Four, Dateline 9-21-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. I often feel that I spend too much time on here talking about how I need to take it easy for a little bit. I just realized that this is because I beat myself up on a weekly basis for wanting to actually take time off during the weekend, especially ever since I started to work this five day a week part time job instead of just randomly working whenever a gig became available.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-Three, Dateline 9-20-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-three of Operation Achieve Anything. Sometimes I feel like I spend too much time writing reminders that this site was created with the intention train for at least ten years in my effort to branch out and write content outside of the screenwriting format and structure. Though I am compelled to throw this fact out as a reminder for any wackiness one might find in my writing as an explanation and not an excuse.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-Two, Dateline 9-19-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. Thanks to last night’s efforts, I am now extremely close to meeting my goal of having a week’s worth of backlog content by this weekend. I think all that I have to do is two more double review nights before I can feel completely safe from having to do another same day review for the rest of this SNL challenge. This would allow me to double down on my efforts to clean up as many pages of this blog as I can to get this website to a site where I wouldn’t feel more confident if I were to actively start to promote it.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty-One, Dateline 9-18-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty-one of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night I kept on keeping on with the behind-the-scenes work for this blog as I watched and reviewed three more episode of Saturday Night Live, in my effort to build enough of a backlog to be an entire week ahead of my deadline schedule. The plan to lessen some of the extra stress that’s been building ever since I started to clean up this blog.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Sixty, Dateline 9-17-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-sixty of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday turned out to be an enjoyable day where all that I did was work on personal projects. Since it was Sunday, all of my dwelling mates were out and about enjoying their own time off, leaving me with peace of mind that it was going to be a day where I wouldn’t be bothered. Not that anyone bugs me when I’m out in my room, but there is just a hint of extra peace when everyone else is gone.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-Nine, Dateline 9-16-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Alright, it’s time to start getting back to the busy. My performance has become a little lackluster as of late, and by this, I mean the volume of work that I’ve been putting out recently and not the quality. As far as quality goes, I’ve been pretty proud of myself and my content. The problem has been that I overworked myself last week and now I feel stuck in bare minimum weekend mode.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-Eight, Dateline 9-15-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. I think I got a lot of pent-up rambling out of my system over the past couple of days. I hate the fact that I now suppress a lot more thoughts than I used to, causing me to snap and have manic sounding outbursts during sporadic drunken nights as oppose to releasing pressure constantly by disguising rants through my jokes. Now that I’m out of practice in both the fields of joking and drinking only adds to the mental tone of my posts.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-Seven, Dateline 9-14-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night turned out to be another fun example of how our increasingly polarizing political system is driving many of us otherwise rational folks out of our fucking mind. I can’t stand the new state of the world where we now have to self-censor trying not to offend while discussing very serious manors. It’s to the point where I can no longer be anti-Bush without being aligned with the Nazis who voted for Trump.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-Six, Dateline 9-13-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. I think last night was the night that I finally fulfilled my fear of burning myself out by burning the candle at both ends. Last week, not only did I start a new graveyard schedule in order to facilitate the significant cleaning plans for this blog, but I’ve also started walking for the sake of health once again, while also starting a new diet where I’m not only limiting the types and amounts of food I’m eating, I’m also limiting the time window when I can partake of these meals.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-Five, Dateline 9-12-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-five of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s now been about a week since I’ve started to work on a graveyard schedule, and though I still love how it allows me to do more with my time, I still need to tweak the order in which I attempt to get things done. Up until tonight, I’ve been starting at midnight but pacing back and forth across my room to fit in my ten-thousand Fitbit steps. I currently have an ankle injury, so this pace can take a few hours.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-Four, Dateline 9-11-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday was my first Monday working the graveyard schedule that I recently started. It was really reassuring because, over the weekend, I was able to get ahead of my SNL reviews to where I am now a little over a day ahead of my schedule. This means that once I’m done with my walking and day job and six-thirty in the AM, I can quickly post said review before I head off to bed. Depending on whether or not I have the energy to write a Daily Breaker post before my slumber, it’s now possible for me to meet all of my deadlines before seven-thirty in the AM so that when I wake, I can then casually work on cleaning this site after finishing my SNL review for the following day.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-Three, Dateline 9-10-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-three of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Monday, starting the second week of my new experimental graveyard shift schedule that I’ll be committing to until I finish up fixing all of the uncommitted typo corrections that my spellchecker caused throughout the entire site. Well, the spellchecker didn’t create the typos, it’s only to blame for the noncommittal part since the issue stems from my blog publisher using incompatible programming languages and the spellcheck provided no warning that this was even a potential issue.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-Two, Dateline 9-9-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. Here we go with another Sunday, so I’m going to make this one quick in order to enjoy my last day off before having to return to tomorrow’s day job schedule. I’m also going to make this one short because yesterday I put in the time to write a six-page post that’s reception was absolutely flat. It’s funny how often it seems like I’m on the right track when it comes to drawing an audience, and shift gears thinking that I have a brilliant plan only to instantly see my readers drop off.
