Today I have realized, it looks like my work task manager, is my email inbox. Most of what I do is through email so it makes sense. Right? I categorize, I flag items and use folders to manage my workload. Everything else it’s handled via the calendar (meetings, reminders-ish, etc..). At this point, my task manager of choice, It would be more for like personal things. And to be honest, this is working fine so far. All this time obsessing about “What would be the best app/system for my new job?” when it was a lot simpler than I thought.

The one thing about my new gig that so far stresses me out a little bit, is the commute. Though I may have other options this one is the most straightforward, takes me about 22 minutes to get to work. It is pretty much a straight shoot from dropping the girls at the grandparents' house to my workplace. The problem is the fact that is a long two lanes high-speed road and most people seem to be in quite a hurry or not paying too much attention. They tend to do dumb things and they drive way too close from each other — at a high-speed. In the past two days, I have witnessed two accidents, usually involving at least three other cars.

I have been using the activity sharing feature ever since Apple made it a thing. At first just with my wife and maybe a friend or two. In the past year or so I have been adding more and more people, even participated in some competitions (which to I’ve probably lost most of them). I guess the idea to this feature was to keep people motivated. Something like that?

But to be honest lately I don’t find it very motivating at all, if anything it’s a little… shamming? Makes me feel guilty? I have friends that complete a workout every single day. And there are days were I can’t workout for whatever reason and then I see one person completing three or four different workouts on the same day, that doesn’t motivate me whatsoever, it depresses me (😅).

Yesterday (2019)

Jack Malik was just another struggling songwriter…but that was yesterday. After a mysterious blackout, Jack (Himesh Patel) discovers he is the only person on earth who remembers The Beatles! As he rockets to fame by passing off the Fab Four’s songs as his own, Jack risks losing Ellie (Lily James) – the one person who has loved him and believed in him from the start. Before the door to his old life closes forever, Jack must decide if all he needs is love, after all. Kate McKinnon and Ed Sheeran also star in this romantic rock ‘n’ roll comedy from Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Richard Curtis.

Always since high school I have always been interested in fitness, not in a professional way though. At the time the motivation probably was to look good for the girls, I guess. Whereas now is more about stay healthy and fit because I am not 25 anymore. But there has never been another goal other than just loose or maintain weight.

At my last job I knew this girl, she started this journey of hers, training for a fitness competition. I gotta say, she pretty much inspired me to get back into the gym and to resume a healthy lifestyle. Always admired her dedication, commitment and discipline. Every once in a while we would talk about fitness and workouts and that kind of stuff. She always suggested that I should probably train for a competition even if I don’t ended up competing at all. This is something that has been on the back of my head ever since.

I also have another lady friend that I knew from another previous job. She also decided to live a healthy lifestyle and her transformation is also very inspiring.

Another friend of mine, she used to compete as well and she the one who harasses me every now and then when she notices that I have gotten lazy. 😅

What if I do this? What if I commit myself to train in a different way. Not just about staying healthy and fitted but have a much bigger goal. I think what sets me back a little bit is everything that this would involve. It will involve discipline, sacrifice and, let’s be honest, it will involve money. I’ll probably going to have to invest on a trainer (or maybe not), on supplements (Protein shakes at least) and sacrifice a lot of the things I enjoy eating and/or drinking. I guess since I have been making progress in the past month or so I find myself motivated to do this. 💪🏼

I don’t know, I need to talk with a few friends and see what or how am I going to do this if I decide to really commit.
