Man congrats on the a solid 2018. I definitely support your idea of cutting out the video games, man those things are time vampires. Glad you mentioned it, because I have been sacrificing a lot of time to my own time vampires (watching not even so entertaining videos). For me it's like, I can do that stuff for hours and it feels like the time just disappeared, no gratification after, just time gone. Cutting that stuff can be so gratifying, so much awesome shit out there to do.
I really like the idea of calling it Running to Korea. It's memorable and motivating!I definitely think you're right to want to cut down on those time vampires, and I think you can really do it. One other thing to think about is just finding a small amount of time each day to work on a goal. Even without time vampires, it can be hard to fit in the things you want to do because there are so many things you have to do. At least, my goals and dreams are always getting pushed out of the way by the things that I'm required to do regularly. For me, one of these dreams/hobbies that I have really wanted to do was to write more. I used to write a lot, but life just got busy and I never had time for it anymore. That really got me down since I never had time to do what I wanted to do. But I made a little change and decided that I would take just 5-10 minutes to write every day before I post here. I used to feel like I had to wait until I had lots of time to work on a writing project, but that time never came. Now, I have managed to do a little bit of writing every day for 35 days, maybe not that much each day and not as much as I wish I could do. But, I have managed to write so much more in the last month than I have in the past two years put together. This is a long way of saying small things add up over time. Don't sweat it if you can't find an hour a day to work on something. Maybe 15 minutes will do the trick, at least while you build the habit. Then you can grow from there. Keep on running!
Running to Korea day 1.Good day today, work wasn't too bad, got to chat with my roommate, took a bath, and finally sat down and did a ton of work on this volunteer book project. I need to get this done and then I can focus on studying. This should be mostly done by Thursday though. Didn't do any solo gaming besides a few minutes on a mobile game in the bathroom haha. After work I normally binge overwatch but today I chatted with my roommate who said he only sees me when I take a break from overwatch. Also I heated up dinner, set up a tablet I bought and did the bath and then worked on the project. It was great! Did I run or study Korean? Nope but I am laying the ground work. Tomorrow I workout with the gf Stay free my friends,-squid
