mehmood’s shaadi is in december. i have to reduce some weight by then.
these days i’m making habits. i’ve started an habit of reading. i’ve started to wake up at around 9.15am.
i’ve finished two books till now and bought more than 15. the two books i’ve finished are um… you might have guessed it, atomic habits, and the power of habit. pretty nice books.
one new habit could be of getting fit, and push up is one thing i can do anywhere, any time - it doesn’t require a mental bandwidth of setting things up.
and do you even realise the number of pushups i can do right now?
it’s 0. exactly 0. so that’s a good start? i’ll be planning, and updating - sort of like a journal.
phases:
day 1
i’ll just plan out what i have to do. might not be on this page.
so one of the hacks i found in the book was - ‘the two minute rule’ - i’m not sure how it exactly was, but it was something like - for your brain to comprehend it as ‘easy’ make sure you can do it in 2 minutes. reduces friction. and that’s what i did for reading books, and now for about 22 days straight i have read a book, skipped it one day though.
so i’ll plan something like this:
right now i can’t do even 1 proper pushup. so what i can start with is:
i’ll do this at 6.30pm tomorrow in my room. this is the minimum (and can be done in 2 minutes)
and to reward myself i’ll read some pages of the book.
there are three hacks i used here:
day..0?
i did do some pushups, but most of it was watchign a tutorial. it's really very tough.
day 1?
