So, I've done this experiment through May- I wrote my goals every day, first thing in the morning. OK, almost every day, I did miss out on some days, I admit.
I really enjoyed this little experiment, and hope you enjoy the video:)

Wah this is a new trick that I get from you, you always consistently write every morning for a month, wow it is very productive, thanks many have shared the tricks, I will steal your way of work, keep consistent on purpose
Thanks for the comment! It's really been helping me be productive and focused:)
I've done some similar things in the past with gratitude journals, etc. One of the main things I learned about myself was just the entire process of having to be disciplined with something, haha. I am a fan of routine, but I found out I can be rebellious, lol. Those days where I say, "you know what....I don't want to do this! (stomping off like a little kid)" But what I find is that if I just commit, and do it anyway, I always am glad I did in the end. I think most people don't enjoy the discipline, but we always like the outcome haha.
Truer words! (haha is that saying? I think it is, right?)
Discipline sucks, but the results it brings are amazing. I've actually tried gratitude journal in the past, but much like yourself didn't stick with it too much. I don't know why this time was different, I think it's mostly because doing something first thing in the morning is easier than at the and of the day. Also, whenever I didn't do my writing, I didn't treat it as falling off the horse, and started back up again fast.
I love the way you constantly bring fresh ideas @Rutheh! You always inspire me and your entertaining to watch! I love making notes. If I didn't have my notes I probably wouldn't remember anything. I don't really write actual goals down but maybe I should try. For me remembering to get milk when I am out, and then actually buying it without forgetting is my goal haha... that reminds me I need to pick up some margarine today lol Its cool that you have a business with your cousin. That is something not many people know about me. I have my business license as well. Which helps with being a vlogger. I know how to organize receipts etc.Being self employed is very rewarding. But yes rewriting the goals down each day would be a great way to remind ones self about what we want to achieve! I should be back online full time by Friday. What keeps me in line is my OCD lol I like to have things in order, and I can't stand doing things sloppy. I feel like if a job is worth doing it is worth doing right! I am motivated by love. First my love for God, then my love for my family.. and then my love for everything, and everyone I meet! Mind you there are obviously things I don't love so for example the weeds on my lawn, split ends in my hair.. but you know what I mean! Love ya Girl! Talk to you soon!
Thanks! I try to be entertaining, but sometimes when I edit a video I'm thinking: is this even interesting? And that's a sign I shouldn't post it.
Notes are lifesavers! haha I've started using google keep on my phone for notes writing, but there's something about writing on a physical paper that just makes it stick to your brain more! (to my brain at least). Being moved by love is amazing, I wish more people were motivated by it, but we all also have the things that we hate- I try to make sure I do them as little as possible lol.
And I didn't know you had a business licens, that's cool! I actually stepped out of my business with my cusin for verious reasons, so I'm actually doing something with my brother now. What kind of business do you/did you own?
I'll be happy to see you back online fully- computer issues are the worst. <3
