Pocket Journal #6.jpg
@sjennon's exclusive blep

Achievement History

  1. My shoulder seems to be almost fixed.
    Now, I'm able to play badminton and smash the shuttle good, without constant pain.
    So I can safely say that Physiotheraphy exercises come to an end. (woohoo!)
    I'll still be doing them when I feel like/get time. ✓

  2. Running everyday, thanks to the Badminton coaching that I joined since the beginning of March. ✓

  3. The accompanied getting up early has been tough though. Still haven't achieved that even once. :(
    (any early risers got pointers for that?) ♻

  4. Sleeping early has been happening, but inconsistently. Still don't switch off electronics before 10:30 PM so, will focus on that. ♻

  5. Assignments are finally effin done! ✓

  6. 7 Min Workouts are not needed anymore, thanks to the awesome and epic badminton coaching that I go to! ✓

  7. Headspace meditation everyday has been a huge success.
    I'm on day 28 now! It's had a huge influence on my daily mood and well-being.
    Get the full version of Headspace app here, totally recommend it. ✓

  8. Sticking to my Steemit schedule is what I've to work on from today.
    Have been doing it rarely, but now on, you're gonna be seeing lots of posts from my side.
    (Have you followed me yet?) ♻

  9. 10K SP is still in progress. It's gonna get a lot faster when I stick to my schedule and rewards start pouring in consistently. ♻

    Oi whale, upvote me man!

So, the scoreboard is:

Good3 (yey)
Bad2

Let's Improve

Which also means I get to add some new goals and challenges!

Challenges

  1. Learning Japanese everyday
    So, in my last PJ entry, I told you all that I've started learning a new language - Japanese.
    Now, I'll make it a challenge so that I get good results and finish learning it quicker!
    I'm using the Human Japanese app, in case you're wondering.

  2. Reading Books everyday
    Anything from Novels to Self-Help, so my knowledge base gets stronger and wider.
    Currently, I'm reading "Wheels of Wish" by Bibhu Datta Rout. It's an interesting book - filled with drama, mystery and crime.
    If you've any good book suggestions, do drop it in the comment section below. :)

  3. Play the Guitar everyday
    For a minimum of 30 minutes.
    I used to play it before but now, I've gotten lazier so I stopped.
    Now that it's part of my challenges, I'll resume playing it.

Goal

Following my Steemit Schedule should help me in attaining my previous goal of earning 10K SP by December 31st, 2018. Until then, here's a new goal:

Reduce daily mobile usage to 1 hour by March 31st.

I'll be using AppDetox for this.
So you guys will be able to see my stats in the end too.


That Happened

13 Peeps Onboarded 👋

That's right! I went with the direct approach of marketing - face to face!
The people I onboarded include family members, friends, friends of family and strangers-that-later-became-friends.
Most of the last category onboarding happened at a 3-day event that I had attended, called Play for Peace.
I'll make a post about that event that later on too.
Registered users among these are:

@satishart
@mirrorwriter
@cloudbox
@therealghost
@chaithra
@notayepoet

...and the rest are in process of getting their accounts verified.
Some among the above mentioned have started posting while others have yet to.
Please do support them if you liked their content by following them. :D
I'd like to give a shout-out to two of these users -

@satishart

He is an amazing painter and probably one of the best I've seen. His paintings are so life-like that you start questioning whether it's actually a painting or a photograph!
You may read his introduction post to know more about him.

@mirrorwriter

Another awesome user, mirrorwriter has such a username because she can do the art of 'mirror' writing; to write simultaneously with both the hands, in opposite directions. Truly incredible talent that she was gifted with since childhood.
Her introduction post has some examples of mirror-writing, do check it out!
Also she's my mum. :P

@Sjennon Is Here! 💃

On 21st March, @sjennon came to New Delhi accompanied by @firepower.
She spent about 2 weeks in Mangaluru, Karnataka, India before this, where she was given an amazing hospitality by @geetharao and @firepower's crew...er, family!

LRM_EXPORT_20180323_191615.jpg
Those were some yummy Whoppers!

On 22nd March, we (@sjennon, @wandereronwheels and @yesaye) went on our first 'Adventure With Sjennon'! (that's gonna be a short series in the future ;P) to location a secret, yet to be disclosed. Stay tuned to find out where hehe.
She's gonna be here for a total of 8 days. 8 epic-adventure-filled-days-thanks-to-@yesaye's-awesomeness, that is. We're gonna go to awesome places, attend amazing events, eat yummy foods, drink tasty drinks and whatnot!

Badminton Coaching

I love playing badminton, as I told you guys in my Intro.
So, from March 1st, I resumed my badminton coaching. I used to go to it last year. Went for about 3 months after which I had to stop because we went back to Mangalore for my exams.

There's a tournament coming up on 8th April. Gotta give my best, wish me luck.
This will be the second tournament I'll be competing in, the first one resulting in a huge defeat in the first match itself!
I play a lot better now, so be assured I'll be kicking some ass on the D-Day.

Dream Journaling

Some experiment I've been doing is writing down my dreams.
I've been doing this continuously for 9 days now.
The last time I tried it, I was able to control my dreams (a.k.a lucid dream) just after 4 days.
Dunno why it's taking so long this time though. Maybe because of the tiredness from all that traveling with @sjennon and @wandereronwheels, my mind just says, "Ah screw it, just dream on auto-pilot, will ya? Why spend more energy trying to control this too?
Dumbass."
Will update on this as soon as I can start lucid dreaming.

Hey funny man.

Do a COM post... You know...

We want two this week from your funny arse.

Oh and good work on developing your steemit presence.

Yo idi, will do! This time I'm not gonna let the contest round time-travel and seem like it got over in 2 days.

Oh and good work on developing your steemit presence.

Haha am I doing that good? Thanks!

Absolutely! Keep it up

Thank you senzhey.

I agree. i headed over to your blog and all I found was this serious post...

lol I'm hilarious.
Check out my past memes and COM entries and this and this too.
All the gold is buried, just like the real ones. ;)
And hey, welcome to my blog! Thanks for dropping by~

Guess I'll add em to the list! Hope your shoulder feels better, injuries are a real pai... hassle.

Thanks man. It's like 80% healed now.
Psst, #VPlow, will upvote ya in 3.5 days!

Nice post, buddy!

Nice to finally see an other side from you besides your words on the discord chat and some stick figures.

I used to play badminton in the last century, haha - 1995 to 1998 - when I was still a teenager.

Great job with the meditation. I am on a 22 day streak myself, using an app called 'Calm'. I don't run but I go on daily walks (preferably at least 5k). I gave up on waking up early, it's just not my thing, although I managed to do it for a couple of months a year to half a year ago. Reading rocks! Unfortunately, these days, I mainly read from screens but - when I finally find myself a place to stay (hopefully in Portugal) - I will definitely invest in a bookshelf and books.

Talking about, Portugal, I will finally be heading there on Thursday, still in the south of Spain.

Keeping a dream journal is cool, I might pick up that habit again myself. Would love to do some lucid dreaming.

Talking about my adventures, traveling by myself for 6 weeks is kind of an adventure in itself, so there's your answer. Also getting to know myself (strengths and weaknesses again).

Have a great day!

Saludos,

Vincent

Awesome comment dude! Thanks. :)

lol yeah, stickman was starting to become boring so thought I'll show you guys a real man instead. xD
Nice, it seems like we have a lot of common interests. Badminton, not being able to wake up early (more like, not liking), meditation etc.

Traveling by yourself for 6 weeks is cool! Nice to know you got to learn more about yourself. :D
btw what does it mean in your bio that you're blogging your way to Portugal? Is it like, what you're earning from Steemit is being used for your travel to Portugal?

You have a good day too buddy~

When something becomes boring it is definitely time to level up and try someting new.

Traveling is by yourself is definitely cool although it feels a little lonely at times. Luckily I have Steemit, discord and a couple of other modern media to compensate that these days. At the same time, that makes it way harder to actually enjoy the now ;>)

'Blogging my way to Portugal' means that:

  1. steemit is my full time gig and only income
  2. I am blogging about my travels
  3. I plan to live in Portugal. Will go there to find myself a little house and some land. Plan to live a cheaper live, closer to nature as much outside the system as possible. It helps to have a twinsister who plans to do the same with her family. She is leaving The Netherlands in a week (or two) with her partner and two little kids.

So, let's say that it is a little more than a holiday and I can use all the support I can get ;>)

All the best,

Vincent

Oh got it. It's going to be interesting living in a country side-like place. That's the stuff people dream about!
Do post pics of the star-lit night sky! That's my favorite part of living outside cities.

I think I need a better camera for that but I will keep it in mind. I love to watch the stars myself (and I am not talking about celebrities) Wrote two posts about Portugal so far, yesterday and today. I am having a good time here! :>)

Nice! btw your profile seems more polished now with the new cover art and all.

Cool post Yessi!

Accumulated Pocket memos is good.....still want you to flow good content out, it will develop your strength, creativity and comedy.

You know what you need todo.

Thanks dj! Yeah, still not able to stick with the Steemit Posting schedule + gotta send in 'em COM entries quick! I'm gonna post 3 more posts today, no matter what. And 2 of those will be the entries!

Smash them cocks..I mean shuttlecocks.

Am smashing hard. Shoulder's healed even more. >:D
