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.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-One, Dateline 9-8-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-one of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday’s assignment was to reflect on the first two-hundred-fifty days that I’ve spent with the Achieve Anything… book. Since I habitually use such reflections to transition to the assignment portion of these posts, I’m going to skip the intro and dig right in.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty, Dateline 9-7-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night was night number three working my new graveyard schedule, and now that I’m actually getting some sleep, I’m really loving the new way that my day breaks down. It’s amazing how freeing starting my day at midnight is when you also have control over your schedule. This is why I may often complain about my work from home gig but am in no rush to leave it.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Nine, Dateline 9-6-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night was my second attempt at this new graveyard schedule I plan to keep while I clean up this website to make it more presentable, now that I’m confident enough in my work to promote it in hope to replace my day job. I can’t wait to settle into this sleep cycle because I love how it frees up more time for my personal project, while still allowing time for my paid work.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Eight, Dateline 9-5-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. I’m setting myself up for a rough next couple of months, but at the same time, it should also be rather fun. As you may see from the note at the top of this page (at the time of writing this post), I had a spellchecker incident that’s led the entire site to be filled with typos from said spellchecker not committing the changes when I would hit the publish button to share my posts.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Seven, Dateline 9-4-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. Here we are on a Tuesday following a ten and a half day break from my day job due to a system outage. At first, I was upset because the time off meant that I wasn’t making money, but now I am thankful for the random gift since it reminded me that I can’t count on the company as a reliable income stream.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Six, Dateline 9-3-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s weird, but ever since I started to think of this next project that I want to start that will run alongside The Wicker Breaker, I’ve been feeling a sense of building momentum toward this site and my life in general. Though it might night be apparent to an outsider, to me, it feels like the decades worth of puzzle pieces that I’ve been sowing about are finally piecing together.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Five, Dateline 9-2-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-five of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night ended up being an amazingly productive night as I tripled down on the behind-the-scenes work for this website in an effort to ease me out of vacation mode. I was getting a bit worry that come Tuesday, I’d be so set into my downtime ways that I wouldn’t be able that I would struggle to keep up with my prevacation pace.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Four, Dateline 9-1-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. This week off from the day job has been great, but it’s also made me extremely lethargic since I’ve been taking advantage of the spare time to take a legitimate break. Having only this Daily Breaker post and one SNL review to worry about, I’ve been extremely casual with my efforts. I’ve also started a walking regiment that has me feeling extra burnt out since I’ve been so inactive over the past several of months.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Three, Dateline 8-31-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-three of Operation Achieve Anything. Between the summer heat that started my latest bout of inactivity and my most recent run-in with sciatica that had me bedridden for about a month, I’ve been feeling like complete garbage for most of this year as far as my physical health is concerned. That’s why when the Achieve Anything… book challenged me to start a new habit, I knew right away that it would have to be health based.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Two, Dateline 8-30-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. Today’s number seven of my impromptu vacation from my day jobs task assigning system being down all fricking week. Though I’m enjoying the time off, I really wish my work was honest enough to say that they met their client’s quota for the month so there will be no more work until the first instead of treating it like it’s a system error.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-One, Dateline 8-29-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-one of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Wednesday and seems that my day job has finally worked through the issues that allowed/forced me to take the last five days off, counting the weekend which I initially planned to work to make up for the days my work’s site was down just the week before. Though I hope it isn’t the case, returning to work might allow me to practice some of these anger management techniques being taught in the Achieve Anything… book over the past couple of day.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty, Dateline 8-28-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty of Operation Achieve Anything. I don’t know if it’s the fact that the Achieve Anything… book’s current theme is anger management has me thinking about the subject with intent, the fact that I’ve been more focused on relaxation during my downtime, or the fact that a system error is given me an impromptu five day weekend, also giving me a guilt-free break from my work, but I’ve been feeling extra calm as of late.
