No spending for a week

So I have decided to not spend for a week. That's seven days with no food shopping or online shopping or going out anywhere which requires money. So far this week it's been interesting to see where my mind goes and how the old habits pop up. I keep thinking of things I need to get or must shop for, but not being able to shop means I have to just pause and say to myself not now. I have cupboards full of food and a well stocked freezer with more than enough for a month's worth of meals. Yet I keep thinking about going food shopping or that I would like to buy something that I don't have rather than just make meals out of the food I have already. It's been nice not having to go to the shops or need to spend anytime waiting for online orders. I will definitely keep doing this every few weeks as a way of just making do with what I have and learning to not buy so many random things. It's been a challenge of self control saying no I don't need to buy that and...

Oh £50 Come on

New Start to the year, blogging and ideas. OK so once again i feel like im starting from afresh, semms just as i get to a place i want to be i look up and my goals are further away. All i can say is im not happy the fact i have to give up so much of my time for work, i wish i could just work for 10 hours a week and that would be enough, 5 days a week , 8 hours a day and all the adtional time thinking about and preparing for work, it seems like the whole thing is just about the work. Too much time is work related, and its work that i neither care about or really want to do , it makes me money. That is it, i do it because it makes money. and not a huge amount either, i do it because it is regular and if i work x ammount of time i will recive y amount of money. Its stable and repetitive and it makes money and will continue to make me money everytime i go and do it. But at the same time i loose a little bit of myself each time i go, every time i clock in i sit down and the life drains ou...

Paying to have time off work

Image
Paying to have time off work, you know that work is wrong when it cost money not to do , free time cost me £258 for 5 additional days off work. To get away you have to pay , don't think that working 40 hours a week is enough. You want to see something other than a computer, I want to see your money. You want freedom you have to pay of it.  One day I will be financially secure to not have to work all the time, work any place any time and live off my own results. I want my freedom, I want my own time table I want to see. Even if it cost's me money, I will pay money to have more free time. Just a bitch for the boss's dollar at the moment , every day working on a way to break out of the rat race.

Reasons and Health Benefits for getting up early in the morning

Image
Reasons and Health Benefits for getting up early in the morning So my next big challenge in life is to overcome my need to spend all day asleepand day dreaming, as much as i love a good snooze its almost a guilty pleasure that i love and hate at the same time, true its very comfortable laying arround for 2 or 3 hours snoozing and daydreaming, but at the same time i also miss out on those 2 or 3 hours a day activly working on my life. If i just had more time in the week then i would be able to do more with myself, the main part of my snooze thoughts is thinking and brainstorming ideas, but as im half asleep these strokes of insight and genius are soon forgotten, it would be better to just get up and write these ideas on some paper, and do a quick 20 minute's of brainstorming and mind-mapping. Ive got lots i want to do and im sleeping through my life, missing the point and the action by laying in the dreams and thoughts of my own mind. Motivation to get up early, so I've made thi...

How to Get up Early Videos

How am i going to get up earlier each day, learn to get up at 6am or earlier Latest goal to work on is how to get up early, there will be plenty of time too sleep when im dead. The goal getting up early and sleeping less , too much time. Just like the cold showers, they will probly feel bad for the first few weeks but then once i get them in to the system , it will start to feel bad by not getting up early. The cold showers hurt at first , but now it seems that as im on a role it would be a shame to quit now. Getting up early, how early should i get up? . The reason i stay asleep for so long is due to day dreaming, i almost find it hard to face life when im half asleep. By getting up and out , then i hope this will improve my focus. Of all the hours ive spent daydreaming and thinking in my daze, i honestly dont remeber what ive been thinking about or if that this has even been of benifit to myself. Its going to be a struggle to get up early, perhaps just go straight for 5am so i can t...

I want to clear my student loan

Image
Although it does not worry me, its a debt that i have hanging over my head, that i wish i was clear of. University was great, i enjoyed the experience of the whole thing every year i was there i was also creating more debt. Ive been working on trying to pay some of it back, i want to cleat this debt. Still i am on an income that does not allow me to clear this loan, i could pay some of it off but then im also not going to be able to save for the future. So im in a situation where, this is a goal i am trying to think creatively about. The easiest way to clear this is to just get a higher paying job. Although i am happy in my current role, so i will keep working at clearing this debt. See more progress on: pay my student loans

Improve your luck and chances a little bit, increase probability or success.

Image
I read that luck is improved by following this principal Labor Under Correct Knowledge = LUCK This means that in order to improve luck you need to increase the percentage and probability so that there is a greater chance of becoming lucky. What is luck , think i would define luck of serendipitous events leading to an outcome that you would require. So the labor part, doing actions that increase the chance of having the lucky outcome. If you are trying to meet a new person , you improve your luck of finding that person if you leave the house. If you are trying to loose weight you will have more luck and chance of sucsess if you follow a healthy lifestyle. If you want more money or a new job and career you improve your luck by study , and work and looking for the jobs and applying. Luck is nothing more than a chance or unexpected, twist of fate that takes life in the direction of your dreams and wishes. To improve luck learn what situations you need to place your self in that will make y...

80-20 rule

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w06c-Qqjlis[/youtube]   As i watched YouTube today i saw a very positive video, it was a raw food video. With matt monark and steve pavlina , you can watch below its a 2 partner. But what i found today is that in order to be a success you need to surround yourself with the people that will help you be a success, get on their energy wave length. Just as my housemates don’t go out so much i have found that i don’t go out as much as i used too. Same as the people who i have in my life seem to be problematic with relationships, i have pulled people in to my life who are having problems with there relationships and i have been in sync with them myself , how can i have a positive understanding of relationships when all i keep seeing is problems and talks of negativity.   I need to start being around the people who are going to bring me up and take me forward instead of staying in the same level of people that are just causing me to have all these diffi...

Taking a leap of faith

Image
Leap of Faith in to the Unkown Web Changing Servers and domains changes everything. This leap of faith applies to the change of BeWiseMonkey.Com changing its server on the web, the site was getting good quality hits everyday , up to 1000 hits a day and has all the promise of growing to be a nice popular site, for all those people who like watching funny monkeys, checking some nice girl pictures and reading some random articles. Unfortunatly the site was on Wordpress.com which has a very little tolerance for advertising. Affiliate links and adverts are not allowed on Wordpress and so i was risking the site by having it on there. Not that i could have just taken ads off the site, but i want to be able to advertise on my site and i dont want all my articles to be deleted. So the choice was to take a leap of faith and move away from Wordpress.com and hoste privatly but still using Wordpress.org to manage site contents. Having used the wordpress content and system i am happy with it and it ...

Easy Mistakes Cost Hard Choices

Image
  I learnt from business the principal of RIGHT FIRST TIME , this statement is very profound as simple mistakes that would be easy to do right first time, then turn in to huge wastes of time when done wrong. Not only do they waste time but the time they waste is stress filled hard work , depressing and usally causes stress and negativity and cost of money and resources. What also is lost and i think this is the worst thing. The loss of the unknown, ie had it been done RIGHT FIRST TIME , we would probly be allot happier be working on another goal, we would be more motivated and a stronger more confident person. The experiances and path that would have been walked down due to getting the situation right could have been a whole lot better. Simple mistakes cost so much and hold you down, i used to procrastinate allot at university. and so much time was spent thinking and planning to do the work , i stayed in some nights playing catchup to the work i should have done months ago. If i had do...

Double Check To Do List

Image
  Missed an important interview this morning because i was sure in my mind that it was at 2.45 in the afternoon even though its written in my diary in big black pen 9.40 am . I had already planned my entire day around 2.45pm and was busy with some chores before setting off, when a glance at the pad gave me the realisation that the meeting was already 2 hours ago. Had i double checked the night before then i would have been aware of this and planed my day around the 9.40am meeting. Now another time waster  is the reschedule of the appointment. The searching for the number to contact the person. The possibility of loss of earnings and reputation. The whole stress and annoyance that i would let a meeting be confused and not plan well in advance. Now i got my day on catch up and damage limitation due to a blunder that would have been easily avoided had i done a quick double check. Fail to Prepare  = Prepare to Fail !   BeWiseMonkey
