# Wednesday ## Meditations and Idea Capture https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aaronhayslip_sometimes-i-forget-what-all-this-hard-work-activity-6988472581670453248-O8-1?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop Sometimes I forget what all this hard work is for. In part, it's so that I can fulfill my desires. I keep track of all of desires in a notion database called “someday/maybe”. These are all the things I want or want to do, but don't have to do this week. Here are my (current) categories: - to-buy (stuff I want) - to-copy (great content) - to-start (business ideas) - to-date (date night ideas) - to-invest (ways to grow ca$h) - to-watch (shows, YouTube vids) - to-listen (podcasts, albums, etc) - to-read (books, articles, social posts) - to-research (things to learn more about) - to-implement (mostly marketing frameworks) - to-visit (cool hotels, outdoor concert venues, etc) - to-drink (mostly interesting cocktails people tell me about) - to-build (blueprints for an outdoor kitchen, a workbench, etc) - to-achieve (future goals, like building a family camp in the mountains) I have not been sticking to my morning routine. I need to either re-examine if it's good and I need to get back on it, or it needs revision. I will do that later tonight. I loved when I followed it. But them life happened. I also need to put boundaries around it. It's a bit sacred (not wholly, but it is my path to sanctity and developing the virtues I need). So I owe it to others to follow it even if it inconveniences them. Others understand that. I need to be okay with that. Also, go keto. Being a slave to your gut is awful. Stop it. "Sometimes you need to just stop reading and execute." (not all the time) ## Recollection - Didn't stay 100% on target at work. + Talked with and consoled Stephen. + Did the podcast. + Made progress on self-authoring. > I really like to listen. Is there anything I can do that would leverage that better? - Was sullen in the morning and didn't get up in time. > Can I do something different for an alarm? > # Brass Tacks ## Weather Report Sunny, 57/36 ## Arise [ ] Intentions [x] 15 mins mental prayer [x] Rosary ## Work - [ ] Restructure/tidy obsidian - [ ] Change pants - [ ] Zero-ply concept - [ ] Think about a reasonable frame concept - [ ] 0930 Sticks Checkin - [ ] Call vacuum table guys - [ ] Datasheets for CAD models ## Evening ##### Go home - [ ] Cut cheese - [ ] Pack beer and food - [ ] Shower ##### To the space - [ ] MED - Creativity ##### Back home - [ ] Recollection - [ ] Morning routine
