Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Fifteen, Dateline 4-25-2018

Hey Cricket, how are things going? It’s day number one-hundred-fifteen of Operation Achieve Anything and once again, the Achieve Anything… book has left me feeling uninspired so this is going to be a quick daily update. For one, not only was it too easy to complete yesterday’s threepeat assignment where once again I was told to sit in silence in a directionless attempt to get me to try meditation. With this being the third time the book’s asked me to try this out while not adding anything else to learn from, I’ve not only already shared very similar outcomes but have already shared all that I’ve got on the topic of meditation, at least as how my outlook relates to the lesson and task at hand.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Fourteen, Dateline 4-24-2018

Good morning Crickets. Here we go again for day number one-hundred-fourteen of Operation Achieve Anything. Currently the Achieve Anything… book is focused on meditation which is something that I really want to incorporate into my daily routine and have for many years. The problem is, I struggle with what most mediation books warn against, in that I expect there to be some sort of magical feeling that would let me know that I’m doing it right.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Thirteen, Dateline 4-23-2018

Good morning Crickets!!! Welcome to day number one-hundred-thirteen of Operation Achieve Anything. Hopefully, this is the last day that the Achieve Anything… book focuses on religion and/or prayer because I would prefer for this to be the last time I comment on the subject, at least as far as this particular challenge goes.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Twelve, Dateline 4-22-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-twelve of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s a Sunday, meaning it’s also the end of week number sixteen of this challenge. Unfortunately for me it being Sunday also makes it extra annoying that the topic of today’s assignment is prayer. Yes, once again, the Achieve Anything… points out that you don’t have to be religious in order to fulfill the task at hand but as a non-believer, this feels like a passive-aggressive approach to pushing a belief by preemptively putting it out there that I’m being closed-minded by not wanting to play along because we all know how accepting religious-types are when it comes to conflicting belief.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Eleven, Dateline 4-21-2018

Good afternoon Crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-eleven of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Saturday and I’m feeling a little spent so I’m going to take advantage of the fact that I’m a little ahead of the game and spend the day slacking off. That’s part of the reason I’m getting such a late start. Thankfully, I recently made a vow to go easier on the weekends because I’d really be beating myself up right now for neglecting my work.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Ten, Dateline 4-20-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-ten of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s been about a week since I started the seemingly impossible task of going through everything that I own in order to sort out what I actually need and what is actually just clutter. The fact that I haven’t done more than tidy for multiple years has turned this into a much bigger project than I was expecting. It doesn’t help that the first step of a major cleaning session like this is to create a bigger mess by pulling literally everything I own into the middle of my place to sort through it.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Nine, Dateline 4-19-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Today, everything is back to usual, I’m on my regular sleep schedule and my mood has balanced out after a few behind-the-scenes issues had me bouncing back and forth between the verge of mania-inducing optimism and a slight sense of hopelessness as I waited to see how things would play out.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Eight, Dateline 4-18-2018

Good afternoon Crickets. Welcome to my late start of day number one-hundred-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. I guess it’s not really all that late since I’m starting to write this before the midday hour of noon but it is a bit later than usual considering I usually start closer to 10:30 in the AM. Part of the reason for this late start is that I slept in a couple extra hours in an effort to recapture the extra energy that I’ve had lately due to a spike in my level of enthusiasm.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Seven, Dateline 4-17-2018

Hey Crickets, how are things going for you on this shitty Tuesday morning? Sorry to start day number one-hundred-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. On a negative note but it actually plays into my insights of yesterday’s assignment. This morning has started as one of those days where absolutely nothing is going right. First I found that my sink issue has grown to be more of a major problem, then I sat down to write only to find that my keyboard’s not working like it’s supposed and now I’m here pecking away on a generic piece of crap that feels foreign to my fingers.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Six, Dateline 4-16-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-six of Operation Achieve Anything. Since yesterday’s assignment centered around explore my thoughts on enthusiasm in almost the same exact way as the day before, I’m just going to jump right in and continue to share my thoughts on the subject and consider this done. For a quick recap of what I got into in yesterday’s post, I fully agree that enthusiasm might be the most important ingredient when it comes to success.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Five, Dateline 4-15-2018

Happy Sunday Crickets!!! Welcome to day number one-hundred-five of Operation Achieve Anything. The fact that it’s Sunday means we’re at the official end of another week making it fifteen since I started this project. Oh, what a week this has been. As you may know, from reading these post, I currently live at home while I try to work through a mid-life crisis that caused me to abandon the life that I once loved while living in Seattle.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Four, Dateline 4-14-2018

Good morning Crickets, and welcome to day number one-hundred-four of Operation Achieve Anything. Today’s a Saturday which brings us to the end of one of the most successful weeks that I’ve had since deciding to move home from Seattle. Not only was I productive with my personal projects, I also was able to fit in the most hours toward a paid gig than I’ve been able to in quite a while.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Three, Dateline 4-13-2018

Good morning Crickets, and welcome to day number one-hundred-three of Operation Achieve Anything. First off, I’d like to apologize, or at least acknowledge the new advertisements that I’ve added to the site. I guess I’m not all that apologetic for adding them but, due to the way that I set it up, Google Adsense places that ads where ever it feels they are the best fit which sometimes can create a bit of an eyesore.  Since this is an automated service where I simply cut and paste one code to create a site-wide style, it’s going to take me a little while to figure out how to customize the layout.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Two, Dateline 4-12-2018

Good afternoon Crickets and welcome to day number one-hundred-two of Operation Achieve Anything. I’m off to a bit of a late start but that’s only because I woke at midnight last night in order to bust out the five hours I was allowed to work on my current side job. I’ve found that, since the company delves out work on a first come first serve basis, it’s easier to max out my allowed hours by starting at midnight. When the work does run dry, doing it this way, I can’t beat myself up for lollygagging through my daily blog obligations or sleeping in too late to fit in all of the work that I can.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-One, Dateline 4-11-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-one of Operation Achieve Anything. I don’t know why it seems that every single time things seem to be turning to head to where things are starting to go my way, there always has to be one little thing, that’s completely irrelevant, that comes along to ruin my ability to enjoy the experience.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred, Dateline 4-9-2018

Hey Crickets, how are you doing today? We’ve now successfully completed one-hundred days of Operation Achieve Anything!!! Well… successfully completed as soon as I publish this post. Today’s going to be another quick one since once again the Achieve Anything… book’s lessons based on children’s quotes still has me a bit uninspired but, on a side note, I finally feel like I’ve caught up on my sleep to where I no longer have such a cloudy head.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Ninety-Nine, Dateline 4-9-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number ninety-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. I think today’s post is going to be a real quick one due to the fact that I’m feeling a bit burnt out after staying up pretty late in order to cram in as many hours as I could into a paid gig that landed in my inbox late in the evening. If being a little extra tired wasn’t enough, the assignments that I have to report on for the day don’t have me all that inspired.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Ninety-Eight, Dateline 4-8-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number ninety-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. Sorry for the drunken rambling that made up yesterday’s post, it’s been a while since I’ve been actively drunk while writing. Where I used to love to drink while writing, now that I’m down to only binge drinking once or twice a month, I now try to wait until all of my responsibilities for the day are over.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Ninety-Seven, Dateline 4-7-2018

Good morning Crickets. Welcome to day number ninety-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Saturday early in the AM, I’m still a little drunk from a bender that I started last night a plan to continue as soon as I publish this post. Last night was kind of fun because I was in just the right mood that the liquor allowed me to tap into the old energy that I used to have where I actually felt confident in my wacky approach toward promoting my work which allowed me to have fun on Twitter, acting as if I had already made it.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Ninety-Six, Dateline 4-6-2018

Good Afternoon Crickets!!! Welcome to day number ninety-six of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Friday so I plan to put in a little extra work and double down on my efforts to get enough done to take the weekend off, or at least going a bit easier like I’ve started to do towards the end of last month. Granted, there are several daily tasks that are unavoidable but this new trend to take my weekends back has helped me not feel as burnt out as often as I have been in the past, where every day was exactly the same 24/7/365/(366 on Leap Years.)
