I haven't posted here in a few months after I first discovered Andy's content. I haven't really slipped off the wagon too bad, but I wanted to post here as I think some of you guys might have some constructive things to say to me.
My Vision and Change Towards the New Vision
My Vision is that I will live differently than I am currently. It will be radically different than what I am doing now. The first thing that I will change is waking up late in the morning.
URGENCY
I need to change this as without it, I won’t have enough time to do the things that I want to. The things I want are to be on top of my classes, I want to be physically fit and make myself more dangerous, I want time to spend with my girlfriend, and I want to have time to develop my skills for a future career, physical strength and readiness, and develop and discipline my mind, such that I will do what I need to do when it needs to be done, all on time, without losing the creative spark inside of my mind. I also need to develop my love of the world, love for others, and love and skills in music. With more time I can develop my skills in these areas even more.
I have urgency as I could be doing what I want, but I misuse what time I have.
GUIDING TEAM
My guiding team will be my brother and friends. I will use the KYIL forum and post there at least once a week on Tuesdays.
GETTING THE VISION RIGHT
My vision is that I will develop the vision more with my brother, friends, and the KYIL forum.
The main parts of this vision are that I first fix how I feel on a daily basis. This means I change the way that I conduct my days. I think this will mean that I will log out of my twitter and snap for a while and put the passwords on a separate piece of paper in my safe and remove the passwords from the password vault on the computer and phone so I can’t just easily log in. I will commit to physical activity every day. This does not mean that I will lift every day, but I will do at least some movement (preferably in the sun) no matter the weather. On days with bad weather, this means that I will do calisthenics in the room. I will take my vitamins and medicine every day and experiment with only drinking tea, as coffee feels a bit much with caffeine.
6:30 am Wake Up, 10pm bedtime, 9:30 pm melatonin and magnesium dose, 9:15pm meditation session, 8:45 shower
When I wake up, I will have a morning ritual. My ritual will be that I wake up, the phone will be in the common room, and I will start the tea (electric kettle being filled the night before). I will start the tea and go to the bathroom (shit, brush teeth, wash face), and when I get out the water will be ready and I will make tea. I have not touched my phone yet. I will get my tea and get dressed. Then I will be ready for breakfast then gym. After gym, I will shower and go to library and then classes.
Night Before Prep:
- Water in the kettle and tea by the kettle every night.
- Phone will be plugged in the common room.
- Outfit for next day placed on chair the night before.
- Supplements and medicine will be put in the pill holder night before.
BUY IN
I am bought into the idea of changing, but it feels a bit scary and I feel a bit pessimistic that I can actually make it happen this time. This is because I feel that my goals in the past were developed a bit and then I fell off. I can’t fall off. I need to radically change my life, as what I am experiencing right now is not what I want. I cannot live like this any more.
EMPOWER ACTION
I am empowering myself right now. I have a plan that will be executed. This must happen.
I will send this to my brother and the Forum.
I will update my brother and the Forum.
CREATING A SHORT TERM WIN
My short term win will be that I complete this routine tomorrow and will post about it on the forum. I will give an update immediately after I have completed it.
NOT LETTING UP
I will not let up. Once I can get up every day for 18 days (about two weeks) I will commit to a new part of changing. This will make it stick. If I make a mistake with this, I will just try my best the next day, but I must log my failure on the website and explain why I failed. I will print this post and put it on my wall in front of my desk.

UPDATE (11/15/2023)
I went to bed late as I went to my girlfriend's to talk as she was having a really bad time dealing with some drama related to some of my friends (maybe soon to be ex-friends unfortunately), so I got home at 11 and went to bed at midnight. I did all the prep right. It was a great idea to have the plan of setting up prep. I got up at 9 and followed the plan, and have been working most of the day. I did not follow my plan to a T, but I will do better tonight for sure. I logged out of my twitter and aim to do so for a long time. I am changing.
Feels Good Man.
(EDITS)
What I did wrong and what I can do to avoid these issues in the future:
- Spend time with gf during the day rather than night.
- Cannot think of anything else right now, but will update once I can
