The Diary Game- 09/25/2020- Day 50

Date- 09/25/2020

Friday

So the Season 2 of #thediarygame comes to an end with this dairy post and at the same time, Season 3 of #thediarygame begins. The diary game has made this Blockchain more general and social than ever. I must express my gratitude to the team who conceptualized a game like #thediarygame and made it all possible with two seasons so far; a beacon of light in this journey.

“Take excellent care of the front end of your day, and the rest of your day will pretty much take care of itself. Own your morning. Elevate your life.”
― Robin Sharma, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life.

I hope as the season 3 of the dairy game begins, I will be able to get more people to join the 5 AM club. The diary game has also brought positive transformations in the life of many, for example, diarist/CR @rishabh99946, who now wake up as early as 4:00 AM. So virtually, #thediarygame is playing a quintessential role to bring positive transformations in the lives of people.

I wake up at 4:35 AM as the alarm hits my ear, I was not at all reluctant to get out of my bed, rather I always get out of bed like a pro, like a "yogi". The first thing I used to do is to take two glasses of lukewarm water(without brushing my teeth), followed the morning hygiene routine. Basically, at this time I also take my medicine Montas-L, one tablet each day, empty stomach.

The morning itself is an inspiration for me which fills my day with optimism, possibilities, opportunities.

I also make a checklist/to-do-list of the day at this time, highlight the important activities/tasks that I need to accomplish in the day. The checklist helps me to track my productivity and progress, trust me it helps me to remain focused, goal-oriented, and more organized in my daily schedule.

I set up myself for a productive day right from the early morning hours. First I engaged with myself, I try to establish me in the self, by doing "Yoga & Meditation". This session sets the tone of the day, as I progress in the day, it goes easy, smooth, cognitively I get better.

The day is calling me, my purpose is calling me. I head to my study table at 6:00 AM, to engage in the "preparation for my exam". I spent at least four hours in this session, with better focus, attention.

My personal experience:

In your daily schedule, try to accomplish a task in which you are more likely to procrastinate. Trust me once you complete that by hook or crook it will fill you with joy and you will get ecstatic for having accomplished such a task. I have personally experienced it.

It's raining in the entire second half of the day, a big relief again, but still a very irregular contour of rainy days this month. I did not do grocery and other essentials because of rain, so I postponed it for a day.

Suggestion for your dairy entry in Season 3

Just ask yourself what you want to get from writing your dairy in Steem Blockchain. Write it down on a piece of paper. For example:-

• Money
• Learning
• Wants to be a better writer and choosing this platform as a learning ground
• A combination of both
• Others

Then try to analyze what you are up to in your life(goal) and investment of resources(time) to achieve another end(money).

“The rich invest in time, the poor invest in money.”
― Warren Buffett

Time is indeed a powerful resource, don't spoil your time which does not add value to your life, where the outcome is "only money" with NO or Negative progress(spam/plagiarism).

Do you just want to earn money, without value addition? Ask this question to yourself, if it aligns with your goal, go ahead.

Do you want to earn money along with progress in your life, goal? So Value addition along with rewards. Again ask yourself. This contour will sound better than the former, by doing so you will become a part of the process, and that will always have invisible rewards not just in Steem Blockchain, in your real physical world too?

How??

• You have started journaling in Steem Blockchain through the diary game and in that process, you have evaluated yourself in a better way, now you know better "what you are up to in your life"?

• You were struggling in your write-up yesterday, by the end of season 2, at least you are better than what you were yesterday. So you are improving, progressing each day.

• In your professional domain, your communication skill has improved as you have strengthened your vocabulary by writing dairy and by engaging with good authors.

I engaged in Stem blockchain from 11 AM to 12:30 PM and then in the afternoon session, I resumed it from 2:30 PM onwards. I kept myself engaged in Steem Blockchain for the remainder of the day.

During this engagement in Steem Blockchain, I reviewed and curated Newcomers Achievement Tasks 5 & 6. I also spent some valuable time in the discord channel with our team of Greeters & Coordinator to organize it in a better especially related to Tasks 5 & 6, we are working on a module to keep it basic and easy for the Newcomers.

I also had to catch up with the busy notification box and responded to each of the replies/comments. And last but not the least, productive engagement with other's diary posts.

^{"Aloo Pakode"}

As it was a rainy day, I prepared "pakoda" today, two varieties I prepared today: "Aloo Pakode and Piyaz Pakode". I know it's not healthy but at times we need this (if it is a rainy day) to assuage the taste buds.

And home-made "pakode" is at least better than what we get from the Street food vendors.

At 8:00 PM, I played chess. I played 3 games, won 2 and lost one.

I had my dinner at 9:30 PM today. It's still raining at this time. A beautiful day with rains. I wish many more rainy days like this.

I stayed up late for another hour before retiring to bed at 10:30 PM. I attended other less important chores during this time. I also checked my email.

That concludes my dairy of the Season 2.

Thank you all for your support & motivation.

Steem on.
