After a neat conversation with my new friend Victor Lopez (creator of EconomiaPersonal.com) and reading Steve Pavlina’s “30 days to success” post, I decided to take the challenge and here are my 30 day trials:
- Write a simple program every day (Java, C/C++, Python or PHP).
- Read a tech reading one hour per day (time managed by Slimtimer).
- Read a non-tech reading one hour per day (time managed by Slimtimer).
- Read about Personal Economy one hour per day (time managed by Slimtimer).
- Create and send 5 bussiness emails everyday.
- SpecR Twitter account will be off.
- Sleep at most 1am (weekends are off).
It seems to me that it’s gonna be hard, since it’s 7 trials and not just one, but I’ll do my best to try to acomplish most of them, I know I can for I am a tremendously motivated and results-oriented person ;)
I’ll be documenting my advances here.
[UPDATE] In a more winning approach I’ve changed my trials to:
- Write a simple exercise program every day (Java, C/C++, Python or PHP). Try to solve a simple everyday situation
- Read about Personal Economy two hours per day (time managed by Slimtimer).
- Create and expand new bussiness idea everyday, whatever it is.
- Make the most of the mornings.
I’ll be documenting my advances here.
