Monkey's Month Long Test Of Will

[The Monkey]

Here we go. Starts tomorrow, March 1st, ends April 1st (I'm not foolin'!)

- Read Bible 30 minutes every morning
Purpose: Closer relationship with Jesus

- Wash face 2x daily
Purpose: Less pimples, face won't itch

- Wear retainer 10 consecutive hours
Purpose: Keep my hard-earned straight teeth

- Workout 30 minutes on Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Purpose: General fitness - etc

- Practice piano for 30 minutes
Purpose: Feeling of accomplishment, worthwhile skill

- Accomplish all assigned schoolwork
Purpose: Time for friends

- Fill out Assignment Sheet
Purpose: Make life easier for Mom

- Max 30 minutes of Halo a day after everything else is checked off
Purpose: Motivator for checking off list, and I spend too much time playing it anyway.

Note: LAN parties at friends' does not count

- In bed by 10:00 PM
Purpose: Rested body

This is my list, and I'm sticking to it. I'm confident I can handle it. All of this stuff I do almost every day... but I rarely do all of it every day. I want to have the feeling of I did everything I needed to and I can sit down at my computer knowing I don't have anything better I should be doing.

It starts tomorrow morning. We'll see how it goes.

why would you say that? if you dont have something positive to say dont say it.

monkey: thats pretty sweet,i couldnt do all that. but piano is defintely worthwhile,i wish i learned it when i was younger. music theory is a wonderful thing to understand.

go monkey!

and zaine, please get rid of the negativity, it really doesn't help. I havn't seen the other threads like this getting closed, its a nice idea, this self improvement stuff.

If you happen to find Jesus...remember to tell him to give me a call.

I'm Catholic and all, and I can believe there's a superior being, but why doesn't he talk to us?

That could take hours to discuss. I'm big on philosophy so IM me if you want to talk to me about it. And no this wouldn't get closed...
I may start something like this soon.
Good luck Monkey.

It's a little annoying. Maybe we should have a forum on this?

seems like AFK maybe started something

Hmm, I'm sorry some of you are too dumb to understand what the subject line "Month Long Test of Will" means. I hardly think this is more space-cluttering then all of these "omg wtf noo this girl i like doesn't like me" threads we get hourly.

If a mod thinks this isn't worthwhile, he may lock it and I will hold no hard feelings. The rest of you should figure out how to read subject lines.

Anyway.

I woke up an hour and a half late this morning, and didn't have time to read my Bible before I had to go somewhere, unfortunately.

- Read Bible 30 minutes every morning - Failed

- Wash face 2x daily - Complete

- Wear retainer 10 consecutive hours - Complete

- Workout Mon, Wed, Fri - Complete
I worked out today, because I didn't on Monday.

- Practice piano 30 minutes daily - Complete

- Accomplish all assigned homework - Complete

- Mark off assignment sheet - Complete

- Max 30 mins Halo - Complete
No Halo for me today, I just didn't feel like playing.

- In bed by 10 - Complete
It's 9:30, and I'm going to go get ready for bed right after I post this.

I really like this so far, it's great for motivation when you know you have to check off everything you accomplished at the end of the day.

You're not a mod, and this is one of the very many will tests. And why single him out?

And for all of you who are annoyed, you all have been here for a month. Get used to it. And we don't need a flame war going on here. Read Dan's post (Sosuave.com) in the Suggestions and Feedback.

But the forum is a good idea.

Dude if you think that then you never read some of the great posters posts such as Sammo. All he does is talk about self-improvement. They usually stay in high school forum. Do a search on Sammo.

Also Self-improvement is such a key goal to becoming a DJ. Without it you will never become a DJ because you will not grow.

This is a high school forum. I'm a highschooler. Nobody gives a fvck what you think.

I get what you are saying but don't you agree that they should make a forum for all this? I don't care if they guy doesn't jerk off.

I don't care if I don't jerk off either. If you had bothered to read my list, you would have seen that not masturabating isn't even on the list.

You're dumber then a box of toothpicks.

His name is "Allen," not "Dan."

 

[Mr. Debonaire]

theres a very simple solution if you don't like reading self improvement posts

DON'T READ THEM!
