Let me introduce my self. Hi. My name is Liam, I am 20 years old, from England and I work as an apprentice Software Engineer. I like to spend way too much time hanging out with my friends rather than actually getting on with my life and putting in the work needed to get to where I want to get to, and this is what I aim to address in this blog. I want to document my goals and keep a day to day diary of how my journey goes and well my entire life in the next 6 months. Hopefully if I have a task like, say I don't know, writing a blog, that I can do everyday without fail, it will help me focus myself onto my goals.
So let's talk about these goals, what do I want to achieve in this 6 month journey? Well for starters i think the most important thing is that I Finnish all of my college coursework. I also am due to go on holiday camping with all my friends in September ( hopefully it's still sunny) and I want to go away with the amazing beach body that I have always dreamed off, but neglected to work for. Next is promotions, I want to smash it at work and hopefully land myself a pay rise later this year (hopefully within the 6 months). Naturally I also want to quit smoking, part of the fitness goals I think that is. Finally, I want to have written a blog post everyday for the duration. Let's talk about these goals in detail, flesh them out a bit before I head to bed ready to start my 6 month journey of self improvement.
Right, so college work. I have never been overly compelled to do my college work and now it's getting towards crunch time. In just 3 months I have to have completed all of my college modules or I may be at risk of loosing my job. I have had almost 2 years to work on this and currently have 6 units left to complete. My goal is to do a little bit EVERY DAY until it is done. Tomorrow I sit down with my reviewer from he college course provider to assess my progress and look at the work I have produced. I also have to say to her that I have done next to no work. I think this new assessor is cool and won't be bothered too much about the lack of work as long as I can show her something and we have a constructive conversation about a plan going forwards.
Next is my fitness goals. I am a classic example of the guy that didn't try hard enough for a long time and got no where with my fitness goals, or at least i would make some progress but then derail myself and have weeks and weeks without going to the gym or eating right. This is my time to say enough is enough. Stick to going to the gym, stick to my calories and consistently track my progress. I want to make a massive change in myself and that starts with me.
I have the opportunity to really shine at work with my current project and I need to make sure that happens. I need to make sure that I work my hardest, get a good review and hopefully a pay rise, I cannot afford to not get these promotions with my new car, 2011 Special Edition S Line Audi TT for those who were asking... So yeh, hard work, I will be reporting how my work day went and how much I managed to stay off of my phone and all the good and bad points of my performance at work.
Last year I quit smoking and it lasted 3 months, the year anniversary of that attempt would have been this month, but I was weak and instead have ended up back where I began. As of now I intend to switch to Vaping and eventually coming off of nicotine altogether. This ties itself in naturally to wanting to get fit.
Lastly I want to write a blog post for every day for the next 6 months and hopefully I will go on that camping trip with a new motivation, a new body and a whole new outlook on life geared towards success. In these daily posts I will compare my days against my goals and what I did that day to strive towards them. But right now, it's late and I have work tomorrow so I am going to go to bed and get a good nights sleep before I get up in 5 hours, tomorrows goal is to go to bed earlier! Night random people reading my little blog, until tomorrow.
