My Daily Journal For December 1st, 2022
Morning Routine, General Diary, Thoughts, and Ideas
Slept in the hospital last night, I had a good night’s sleep, however, I woke up far too early. I did manage to complete most of my morning routine though, I even completed some exercises in the bathroom.
Big loss on horse bot yesterday, small strategy change geared for the winter today!
Day 8 for my son post-transplant, he’s arguing like his old self! Hope he stays well. 🤞
Watched a boring 0 – 0 world cup game between Belgium and Croatia, the result means that the 2nd best team in the world, Belgium is now out of the world cup.
I sold a few shares today for a small profit. I sold (stock symbols only I’m Afraid) DOCS, BATS, DPLM, DGE, EDV,BNKR, and NFLX. I think I need to go on a new buying spree tomorrow! My latest shares magazine is out, so hopefully a few more tips in there.
Food Diary
The picture is of a sparkling bottle of water today as it was the only healthy thing that passed my lips!
Today I ate:
– 1 packet of cheese & onion Seabrook crisps
– 3 biscuits
– 1 caramel shortbread
– 2 thirds of a baked potato with cheese and butter
– 1 packet of Walkers salt & vinegar crisps
– 2 slices of toast
– 1 advent calendar chocolate
– About 10 sweets
– 1 pack of quavers
– 2 chocolate digestives
– Half a cup of curried rice
– 1 Pack of Plain Seabrook crisps
– A small chocolate thing
– 3 custard cremes
Shocking!!! So much for the idea that you lose weight if you keep a food diary! 😂
I will do it properly when the hospital is all over and done with.

My learnings from reading The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
Keynotes from the book today were:
Journal about an area, person, or circumstance that you struggle with the most. What about it are you most grateful for?
Area: acquiring new customers: not clear how I can be grateful about that though!
Where in your life are you not taking 100 percent responsibility for the success or failure of your present condition?
Getting new customers, making our offerings clear and better looking than competitor offerings.
Three things you have done that have messed things up? Hmmm not sure about this either
Three things you should have done but didn’t, I did 12 and could probably keep going!
1. Made Objitec offerings clear on the website
2. Improve the PlanIt-BookIt website

The more you do a habit the stronger it forms the example was of a boy pulling a sapling out of the ground compared to a big oak tree that has developed over many years.
Head with direction. Don’t let the horse lead you, lead the horse.
Successful sales – have a habit of mental preparation and positive self-talk so that you can enable yourself to stay optimistic in the face of rejection.
