You taste that ....... it tastes like it's goal time.
Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

2
00:00:05,254 --> 00:00:08,173
The journey is
Not here to be agonised upon.
3
00:00:08,173 --> 00:00:11,593
Welcome everyone to another
Mere Mortals monthly goals.
4
00:00:11,593 --> 00:00:15,765
Indeed, this is the time
where myself, Kyrin and
5
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:18,018
Juan over here.
Juan. we get together
6
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:21,103
and we talk about our goals
from the previous month.
7
00:00:21,103 --> 00:00:26,275
We analyse them, see how we did.
We talk about our coming
8
00:00:23,272 --> 00:00:28,695
goals for the next month.
We show some appreciation
9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,487
just to supporters
or maybe anything interesting
10
00:00:30,487 --> 00:00:35,993
going on on that front.
And then even some fitness
11
00:00:32,531 --> 00:00:36,994
goals and just a little
bit of a honestly,
12
00:00:36,994 --> 00:00:38,454
there's a little bit of a
catch up one as well.
13
00:00:38,454 --> 00:00:40,414
Just to just to talk about
how we've been going,
14
00:00:40,414 --> 00:00:43,877
which has been sick, both
one and I have been sick.
15
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:45,628
So if you hear some
coughing, sniffling,
16
00:00:45,628 --> 00:00:48,840
that sort of stuff going
on, that is very good.
17
00:00:48,923 --> 00:00:54,595
America, be aware. Be aware.
On the very last day of the month
18
00:00:52,343 --> 00:00:57,848
of 31st of August.
So, Juan, as usual, let's
19
00:00:54,595 --> 00:00:58,725
start off with yours.
Can you give us a bit of a
20
00:00:58,725 --> 00:01:06,231
recap of your what, August 2023?
Awesome. So I had ten goals
21
00:01:03,729 --> 00:01:08,777
and that's basically
it was beginning
22
00:01:06,231 --> 00:01:11,320
of my new annual goals.
Now I think I might have
23
00:01:11,403 --> 00:01:14,573
bitten off a little bit
more than I could chew. And so
24
00:01:14,573 --> 00:01:17,326
that was to actually
in the end that I didn't
25
00:01:17,326 --> 00:01:19,870
I wasn't happy with the way
it adequately filled.
26
00:01:19,870 --> 00:01:23,707
And that was one the
I wanted to document leveraging
27
00:01:23,707 --> 00:01:27,670
previous efforts around
what cadence of,
28
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:30,757
I guess, tracking you
wanted to do bloodwork,
29
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:35,844
setting up my dental work,
setting up, going to the doctor
30
00:01:33,676 --> 00:01:38,138
and all that. Not even close.
I didn't even begin,
31
00:01:36,554 --> 00:01:38,847
didn't even touch it.
Didn't even look at it.
32
00:01:38,847 --> 00:01:40,599
Didn't even review
the previous one man.
33
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:44,144
Not even a clue.
So that just fell way
34
00:01:41,266 --> 00:01:46,438
by the wayside. Weirdly enough,
I went to the doctor
35
00:01:46,438 --> 00:01:50,652
like three times during that time
for completely different things.
36
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:54,489
But it wasn't
you at one point to like,
37
00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:55,864
review these things, so
you'll see that kind of make
38
00:01:55,864 --> 00:01:58,159
come back into September
to try and prioritise it.
39
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:01,662
And look, that was just
the priorities of of thing
40
00:01:59,493 --> 00:02:02,579
that were going on.
Highlight of August.
41
00:02:02,579 --> 00:02:05,457
I really enjoyed doing drawing
a little, finding myself,
42
00:02:05,457 --> 00:02:10,504
enjoying it, about to get a lot
easier to do it and for
43
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:11,463
not to be like go back.
So I come back.
44
00:02:11,463 --> 00:02:14,925
So it was just a do it
and put some minutes into it.
45
00:02:14,925 --> 00:02:18,346
So that was really fun.
You said running up
46
00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:19,597
and didn't you?
Sorry, you said running.
47
00:02:19,597 --> 00:02:21,515
Is that what you said?
Sorry. Writing. Writing.
48
00:02:21,515 --> 00:02:26,229
I will not even write back up.
Drawing, drawing, drawing, folks.
49
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:30,525
Drawing. I wanted to do for
drawings this particular month.
50
00:02:30,525 --> 00:02:35,612
Get that done. And again,
it was just a variety
51
00:02:31,693 --> 00:02:36,990
of try to do like a little
drawing of someone sitting on it.
52
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:39,366
So far there was another one
about some property.
53
00:02:39,366 --> 00:02:41,411
There was another one
just being like
54
00:02:39,908 --> 00:02:43,621
completely abstract
to do with actually
55
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:45,080
an NFT for creatures.
So was a bit of a mixed bag.
56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,748
There wasn't
any realistic outcome
57
00:02:46,748 --> 00:02:48,626
and I really enjoyed it.
Oh, that was real fun.
58
00:02:48,626 --> 00:02:52,337
The next people over here.
JS Yeah, yeah, but this was
59
00:02:52,337 --> 00:02:54,507
I made the decision,
at least right now,
60
00:02:54,507 --> 00:02:56,800
not to share it like it's
not for posting anyway,
61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,180
it was because I think that
that would attract me
62
00:02:57,885 --> 00:03:01,806
to making it, doing it
for a particular reason.
63
00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:04,808
And it has to be
very specifically
64
00:03:03,015 --> 00:03:08,770
like almost any reason
just to be settled. The mind
65
00:03:06,644 --> 00:03:10,439
really is what it is. Another
couple of highlights.
66
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:13,776
I'm glad I got the Liberty
Prince book in French,
67
00:03:13,776 --> 00:03:16,528
so I can start with that
reading when I need to
68
00:03:16,528 --> 00:03:19,907
as of today. And so
this is interesting. We use
69
00:03:19,907 --> 00:03:22,034
Riverside to do our recording
and I've been using it
70
00:03:22,034 --> 00:03:26,497
to do the Mere Mortals in Motion.
Now I wanted to create
71
00:03:23,912 --> 00:03:27,706
for this early release,
which I didn't,
72
00:03:27,706 --> 00:03:29,292
although I released two,
but I wanted to create
73
00:03:29,292 --> 00:03:32,628
four sort of Be Immortals
in Motion episodes, and
74
00:03:32,711 --> 00:03:36,424
I recorded the fourth
one two days ago
75
00:03:36,507 --> 00:03:38,884
during Riverside,
and it didn't work at all.
76
00:03:38,884 --> 00:03:41,804
I was me trying to use
sharing the screen
77
00:03:41,804 --> 00:03:45,515
and getting it recording
for whatever reason
78
00:03:43,389 --> 00:03:48,061
it like glitched out.
And I didn't save it
79
00:03:45,515 --> 00:03:49,687
and I was like, Oh, hmm,
that's bad. But today,
80
00:03:49,687 --> 00:03:52,356
half an hour before this
got the fourth one done,
81
00:03:52,356 --> 00:03:53,441
I was like, I'm
going to get this done.
82
00:03:53,441 --> 00:03:54,776
It's going to be
within the of August.
83
00:03:54,776 --> 00:03:58,237
So I clean that up.
But the other one
84
00:03:57,194 --> 00:04:02,074
that I get myself a bit of a
no was my number
85
00:03:58,862 --> 00:04:04,201
eight of August which was
had no replies
86
00:04:02,116 --> 00:04:05,078
my personal professional
without a full thought of what
87
00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:06,454
the end consumption
is going to be.
88
00:04:06,454 --> 00:04:09,831
So I trying to get
calmness over friendliness
89
00:04:09,915 --> 00:04:13,711
and I did it someone
but if I realistically
90
00:04:11,709 --> 00:04:16,338
go back through the month
and even just a couple of
91
00:04:13,711 --> 00:04:17,798
days ago, I go mad.
There was some time
92
00:04:16,338 --> 00:04:18,800
that I did not react
to that at all.
93
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:25,348
Even though I won't
I won't put it to
94
00:04:20,509 --> 00:04:26,807
aspects when you know it
suddenly can. It's not
95
00:04:26,807 --> 00:04:30,560
not it's not even rational
for you to go and behave
96
00:04:30,644 --> 00:04:34,148
frantically and like that.
BE okay scenarios
97
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:35,858
for you to be frantic. I woke up
and so I could see myself.
98
00:04:35,858 --> 00:04:38,278
Yeah, those some of those.
And it's kind of okay.
99
00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:39,569
I was like,
But there was some others
100
00:04:39,569 --> 00:04:42,906
where I was just frantic
for frantic sake. Like I didn't
101
00:04:41,738 --> 00:04:44,742
even have to be
and I could have been
102
00:04:42,906 --> 00:04:46,369
calmer, went, Nah, that could
take that off.
103
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:49,913
So you'll see it come up
in the September goal as well,
104
00:04:48,704 --> 00:04:52,916
in some other way.
So see how I can try to
105
00:04:49,913 --> 00:04:54,002
tweak or improve on that.
Yeah, but everything else.
106
00:04:54,002 --> 00:04:55,752
Yeah, it was,
that was quite good. Okay.
107
00:04:55,752 --> 00:04:58,423
Those were the August goals
and some of
108
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:59,382
the reflections on it.
Sounds like a mixed bag.
109
00:04:59,382 --> 00:05:01,718
Typically when you,
you speak a lot
110
00:05:00,341 --> 00:05:04,595
at the start here,
it means you haven't
111
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:07,764
had as exactly. Yeah.
Although although I'm
112
00:05:05,387 --> 00:05:11,935
also trying to because
even though
113
00:05:07,764 --> 00:05:13,228
it's like 80% goal based
I think you called it out
114
00:05:13,228 --> 00:05:14,771
last time that you like
to talk a little bit more
115
00:05:14,771 --> 00:05:16,607
about the previous goals
and sort of describe
116
00:05:16,607 --> 00:05:18,692
a little bit more.
So then I share it
117
00:05:18,692 --> 00:05:19,985
to share from that
perspective as well.
118
00:05:19,985 --> 00:05:22,322
Nice car in August goals.
What about you mean?
119
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:24,781
Yeah, yeah. Kind of a
mixed bag for me as well.
120
00:05:24,781 --> 00:05:29,704
I did probably the the ones which
funnily enough I would have said
121
00:05:29,704 --> 00:05:32,206
were were harder
to do in many ways.
122
00:05:32,206 --> 00:05:34,791
So it was kind of like
improving eye contact
123
00:05:34,791 --> 00:05:37,420
and smiling. You know,
I'm not good at that naturally,
124
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:41,466
but I was really working on that,
especially
125
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:43,550
like in the gym scenarios
and even outside of it as well.
126
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:47,555
I managed to finalise
all my taxes and stuff.
127
00:05:47,637 --> 00:05:52,100
Cross Blue. Just waiting for
the last. Time I went I shared
128
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:55,396
I was shared on this podcast.
But I'll tell you what man one's.
129
00:05:55,396 --> 00:05:58,690
Facebook page on that one's
is like it's going to take up
130
00:05:58,690 --> 00:06:01,778
as a whole month of just. Well,
not on how it's done,
131
00:06:01,778 --> 00:06:07,199
but I had to follow up
the whole like taxation
132
00:06:03,862 --> 00:06:08,742
accountant agency
and teach them about what
133
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:11,286
they were doing.
It was out of control anyways.
134
00:06:11,286 --> 00:06:14,874
All right, good.
And setting aside
135
00:06:12,704 --> 00:06:16,416
extra time for middle
splits and stuff,
136
00:06:14,874 --> 00:06:17,459
that that's actually
been going really good.
137
00:06:17,459 --> 00:06:20,170
So now you can tell me
if I did this one.
138
00:06:20,170 --> 00:06:22,464
Did I write a decent best
man speech?
139
00:06:22,464 --> 00:06:27,845
Yes, Karen Absolutely.
Both wrote and delivered
140
00:06:24,341 --> 00:06:28,512
a great best man speech.
Yeah. Yes.
141
00:06:28,512 --> 00:06:32,557
This is this is rarefied
territory. What I will call out
142
00:06:30,430 --> 00:06:34,810
such a thing.
But Karen did indeed present down
143
00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:37,396
to Melbourne a fantastic
best man speech. It was.
144
00:06:37,396 --> 00:06:40,358
It wowed the crowd.
I got lots of commentary
145
00:06:38,355 --> 00:06:42,401
from people in the crowd
that they really enjoy
146
00:06:40,358 --> 00:06:44,319
that. Nice. Nice. That's
that's good to hear. Yeah, it
147
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,656
it was one of those ones
where I even as I did
148
00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:49,117
it, I'm like, Yeah,
you know what? The only way
149
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:51,536
I really could have made
this better was to go to stand up
150
00:06:51,536 --> 00:06:55,497
comedy nights and try out
these jokes on people
151
00:06:55,581 --> 00:06:59,127
and then just filter out
which jokes work and which
152
00:06:59,209 --> 00:07:03,423
which don't or things like that.
So yeah, and I only needed
153
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:06,800
to look down at my like
little phone notes once
154
00:07:06,884 --> 00:07:08,427
and I didn't even need
to do that really.
155
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,762
It was just more, just,
just to make sure. So, yeah,
156
00:07:10,762 --> 00:07:12,973
I was, I was pretty happy
with that as well.
157
00:07:12,973 --> 00:07:16,144
So yeah, that was good.
The bad stuff was I only did
158
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:20,105
one hour of the four of Duolingo.
I think this is one
159
00:07:18,562 --> 00:07:22,608
where it's like,
I just have to smash it
160
00:07:20,105 --> 00:07:24,444
out in the first two days.
Don't give a fuck
161
00:07:24,485 --> 00:07:27,863
if it's the best or not,
but it's very, very hard.
162
00:07:27,947 --> 00:07:29,031
Especially when it was
coming towards
163
00:07:29,031 --> 00:07:31,701
the end of the month
and it's like, Oh shit,
164
00:07:30,115 --> 00:07:32,994
I've got five days
which are dedicated
165
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:37,081
to this wedding. Basically.
I'm not going to be able
166
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:38,081
to do much here.
I didn't go to the doctors
167
00:07:38,081 --> 00:07:40,168
for a Check-Up
that's just straight up.
168
00:07:40,168 --> 00:07:42,295
Once again,
I should book it in early,
169
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:47,216
just get it done
and then researching other
170
00:07:43,420 --> 00:07:50,720
book review channels.
Yeah, that's it's kind of
171
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:55,266
because I'm like, it's not this,
this was meant to be
172
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:57,225
related to the coding
and you know,
173
00:07:55,348 --> 00:07:58,603
because I've kind of
stopped the coding and said like,
174
00:07:58,603 --> 00:08:01,898
you know, that's not for me.
I learnt it was not for me.
175
00:08:01,898 --> 00:08:05,317
This is this is just like
an extra goal that just kind of
176
00:08:04,024 --> 00:08:08,362
floating out there.
So it's, it's more of a
177
00:08:05,317 --> 00:08:10,615
like the last on the list.
So Yeah. But yeah, that'll,
178
00:08:10,615 --> 00:08:13,201
that'll change as well
in the end. Remind, remind folks
179
00:08:13,201 --> 00:08:14,826
when does your new
and your goals begin.
180
00:08:14,826 --> 00:08:16,913
They begin in October.
So this is like
181
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:20,875
the last month, September
of, of my old ones.
182
00:08:20,916 --> 00:08:23,668
I might even quickly
read them out at when I do
183
00:08:23,668 --> 00:08:26,838
my portion.
Just, just so we all have
184
00:08:24,795 --> 00:08:30,593
a little reminder or maybe not
because it would be
185
00:08:27,714 --> 00:08:32,345
maybe nice to do like a re
just a relook at of our goals
186
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:36,640
for last year, both you and I,
maybe sometime
187
00:08:35,096 --> 00:08:39,519
this month or something. Yeah.
Well, we did a big
188
00:08:36,974 --> 00:08:41,645
look into my annual goals
I think, in my life
189
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,063
doing something similar.
Yeah. Yes. I want to do a looking
190
00:08:43,063 --> 00:08:46,359
forward one, but maybe just a
looking back one
191
00:08:44,398 --> 00:08:47,860
would be nice, but yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Cool.
192
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:51,154
In terms of the boosts
and things like this,
193
00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:56,326
I once again I do the numbers
on the first of the month, which
194
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,703
would be tomorrow. So
I can just generally say
195
00:08:58,703 --> 00:09:00,998
we sent out what,
three shots this month
196
00:09:00,998 --> 00:09:04,000
and all got received.
So that was, you know,
197
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,336
good on Australia Post
in the US Postal Service.
198
00:09:06,336 --> 00:09:10,633
Very, very nice.
So that was good to do.
199
00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:14,511
I know a couple of other people
are taking closer and
200
00:09:14,511 --> 00:09:17,472
I think the effort
that I've been putting
201
00:09:15,804 --> 00:09:19,057
into the Value for Value
podcast has been reflected
202
00:09:19,057 --> 00:09:24,145
because I'm actually
getting kind of more, more boosts
203
00:09:21,601 --> 00:09:26,481
and more feedback
from that show than than
204
00:09:24,145 --> 00:09:29,277
we have been for this one.
So yeah, just shows,
205
00:09:26,481 --> 00:09:31,528
you know, when you really
and I think it shows because
206
00:09:31,528 --> 00:09:33,072
this has kind
of been on autopilot
207
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:36,075
for a little bit,
like we've got our rough set up.
208
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:39,703
We know roughly what we're doing,
but I have been focusing
209
00:09:37,994 --> 00:09:44,708
more on that. So yeah, I think
the focus will switch to the book
210
00:09:43,206 --> 00:09:46,626
reviews for a little bit
and then it'll refocus
211
00:09:44,708 --> 00:09:48,546
back to this one.
So I wouldn't be surprised
212
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:52,924
if we have a couple
of more months of like less,
213
00:09:52,924 --> 00:09:56,596
less boost, less feedback on
on this particular channel.
214
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:59,724
But I think that'll change
coming up. Good.
215
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:00,850
Is there anything else
you wanted to talk
216
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:03,436
or just support wise, any
any notes,
217
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:05,980
emails, any feedback from
people that you thought
218
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:10,900
would be worth worthy of sharing.
Or nothing I was about? Okay. So.
219
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:13,153
All right. Let's get into
what's coming up.
220
00:10:13,153 --> 00:10:17,283
One, What do you what do you do?
Just start the second attempt
221
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:20,952
at killing the goals
for 2023, 2024.
222
00:10:20,952 --> 00:10:22,996
What have you got?
Correct. Correct.
223
00:10:22,996 --> 00:10:25,791
Now, for me, I went down
the path of scaling back.
224
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:30,754
I summarise it as scaling
back the goals to focus on
225
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:32,631
optimising automating.
Before I load up again,
226
00:10:32,631 --> 00:10:36,469
I'm going to calling myself up
and going, Hey, I need to do some
227
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:39,013
sort of tidy up here before
I can even think of trying
228
00:10:39,013 --> 00:10:41,264
to go for such large
amount of goals again.
229
00:10:41,264 --> 00:10:44,434
So you'll see it.
I'll talk about it
230
00:10:43,142 --> 00:10:48,105
directly. Right. One of them is
I want to take a bit
231
00:10:46,394 --> 00:10:51,024
of a review of the items
in my work business life
232
00:10:48,105 --> 00:10:52,234
that are repeatable
and therefore optimise.
233
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:55,028
So I'm going to target
specifically work business
234
00:10:53,318 --> 00:10:58,157
things. This includes,
you know, time wasted on
235
00:10:58,157 --> 00:11:00,201
emails, time
wasted on interactions
236
00:11:00,201 --> 00:11:05,706
from a lot of businesses
and everything else. Quick things
237
00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:08,000
that, you know, I might
and you think it's
238
00:11:05,706 --> 00:11:11,003
a second or five, second
or 10 seconds
239
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,087
but a B do that 100 times
and you repeat it every day
240
00:11:12,087 --> 00:11:13,380
and all of a sudden
you've just lost
241
00:11:13,380 --> 00:11:17,551
a hell of a lot of time.
So there's a lot of that which
242
00:11:15,883 --> 00:11:19,845
I've done a few years ago
and in a broad like whole of day.
243
00:11:19,845 --> 00:11:22,722
But I want to just go back
at the work business aspect.
244
00:11:22,722 --> 00:11:25,225
I want to go waking up
to my speakers about
245
00:11:25,225 --> 00:11:28,437
without removing a few things,
I'm just going to be able
246
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:30,355
to find extra time. So that's
one of the goals.
247
00:11:30,355 --> 00:11:33,609
Of this is before you go. Yeah.
Do you have any more time
248
00:11:33,609 --> 00:11:35,568
for tick tock scrolling
like you used to,
249
00:11:35,568 --> 00:11:40,573
or is that just been eliminated?
Well, it does definitely deviate
250
00:11:40,573 --> 00:11:42,784
depending on
how much other things
251
00:11:42,784 --> 00:11:45,162
I've got in the day
like this last week
252
00:11:45,162 --> 00:11:48,541
that's been so far.
There has just been
253
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:51,293
so many other things I was deal
with. There's been broker
254
00:11:51,293 --> 00:11:55,214
work that's been
lines as being normal work
255
00:11:55,214 --> 00:11:59,467
that's been trying
to do podcasts that I find myself
256
00:11:58,174 --> 00:12:02,138
with some spare time to do that
mindless scrolling
257
00:12:02,138 --> 00:12:04,974
maybe at Night-Time,
but not in between things.
258
00:12:04,974 --> 00:12:07,893
So definitely gets crunched down
the more of those things
259
00:12:06,182 --> 00:12:10,645
I do have. But I think more
specifically here, it's
260
00:12:10,645 --> 00:12:12,940
I know that
there are some aspects of
261
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:14,859
not just even just
email reading, but
262
00:12:14,859 --> 00:12:21,115
even just subscriptions
on my emails. And I'll routinely
263
00:12:18,195 --> 00:12:21,823
get 23 emails an hour
and I'll go through it
264
00:12:21,823 --> 00:12:23,408
quickly like tick, tick,
tick, tick, tick,
265
00:12:23,408 --> 00:12:25,160
tick, tick, tick, tick,
tick, tick, tick, delete.
266
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,455
Because none of them
are important. Some of them
267
00:12:26,202 --> 00:12:29,789
I do want to check,
but a lot of them are
268
00:12:27,455 --> 00:12:31,708
just not very important.
And I just reminded myself
269
00:12:29,789 --> 00:12:33,793
like I should just
go in bulk, unsubscribe
270
00:12:31,708 --> 00:12:34,879
from all these things
and if I really wanted,
271
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:37,214
I'll go and seek it out
again and again.
272
00:12:37,214 --> 00:12:40,301
That's 20 seconds,
30 seconds every hour
273
00:12:40,341 --> 00:12:42,970
that I could be saving on
a whole day, you know, 8 hours.
274
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:44,263
You know,
you don't think it's much,
275
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:46,849
but it's 4 minutes,
20 minutes over a week.
276
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:52,480
Take something up to something.
So that's a big one
277
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:54,815
from a mind as like
from a fitness perspective
278
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,817
or a body perspective,
I want to continue documenting
279
00:12:55,816 --> 00:12:59,028
and leveraging the
previous efforts for running.
280
00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:00,946
So getting too much
more of a cadence Now,
281
00:13:00,946 --> 00:13:02,530
hopefully this
bloody sickness goes away
282
00:13:02,530 --> 00:13:05,033
because I can tell you right now,
this week of running
283
00:13:05,033 --> 00:13:09,705
had just gone to absolute shit.
So are you
284
00:13:06,576 --> 00:13:11,414
still attempting to move
on? I've definitely
285
00:13:09,788 --> 00:13:12,957
pulled back like today.
I didn't train at all yesterday.
286
00:13:12,957 --> 00:13:15,878
I did some running,
but not the running
287
00:13:13,875 --> 00:13:16,169
that I was supposed to do.
So I've
288
00:13:16,169 --> 00:13:17,837
really just scaled it back
completely
289
00:13:17,837 --> 00:13:21,926
and when I was basically
doing fine and it of cool sense,
290
00:13:21,926 --> 00:13:24,302
I guess I just want to kind of
want to get through the
291
00:13:22,717 --> 00:13:27,014
mere mortals in motion.
It's just not like
292
00:13:24,302 --> 00:13:28,389
some fucking perfect
cookie cutter thing
293
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:30,768
that's always working.
It's, Oh shit, you got
294
00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:31,684
sick through the week.
What do you do about it?
295
00:13:31,684 --> 00:13:38,984
How do you like shift this?
So it sort of me be learning it,
296
00:13:35,980 --> 00:13:42,071
sharing, learning as I go
and I'm trying to call it
297
00:13:39,067 --> 00:13:43,364
out as well as I'm doing
those memos in motion
298
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:44,365
and I'm trying to
figure out what I do it
299
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:47,784
at the beginning, the end of it,
they're basically
300
00:13:46,115 --> 00:13:49,537
calling out, Hey,
this is my question
301
00:13:47,784 --> 00:13:50,287
to somebody out there.
If they can help me out.
302
00:13:50,287 --> 00:13:53,374
So like, hey, I'm sick,
I'm taking off kind of week.
303
00:13:53,374 --> 00:13:56,543
If you were in this position,
would you maybe go higher
304
00:13:54,416 --> 00:13:58,003
in the next volume?
Would you pull back?
305
00:13:58,003 --> 00:13:59,296
And then if I don't
get any answers,
306
00:13:59,296 --> 00:14:01,298
I'll, I'll try something
and we'll learn from it.
307
00:14:01,298 --> 00:14:04,301
So, yeah, it's more sort
to continue the cadence.
308
00:14:04,301 --> 00:14:08,429
And the second one
is really start running up the
309
00:14:06,010 --> 00:14:10,265
the kilometres this month.
So aligning with
310
00:14:10,265 --> 00:14:12,268
how aligning with the fact
that my right
311
00:14:12,268 --> 00:14:15,604
elbow is going to give me
a lot of trouble at the moment
312
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:16,938
that I still haven't gotten back
the doctor's needs,
313
00:14:16,938 --> 00:14:18,691
which are great tomorrow
to go check out,
314
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:20,942
but I can tell you
right now it's still pain.
315
00:14:20,942 --> 00:14:24,613
So more running,
less of the general
316
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:26,407
weight lifting,
which I don't know
317
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:28,533
if I told you the funny
story about the doctor. Yeah.
318
00:14:28,533 --> 00:14:32,830
How he said, you know, how much
how much weight do you lift? No.
319
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:34,123
Doctor. Doctor
basically said to me,
320
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:36,332
he said, when I came
in, he said, hey,
321
00:14:36,332 --> 00:14:38,376
how much weight, sealift,
all of it.
322
00:14:38,376 --> 00:14:41,589
And I said, like in what?
Like a deadlift the bicep curl,
323
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:43,631
like a shoulder president.
He's like,
324
00:14:43,631 --> 00:14:48,761
How much, how much weight,
how much kilos? And I said, Well,
325
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:51,724
you know, deadlift 220.
And he's like, Whoa,
326
00:14:48,761 --> 00:14:53,975
that's, that's too much.
But bicycle 20 kilos
327
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:55,602
And these are all about,
that's fine, that's fine.
328
00:14:55,602 --> 00:14:58,438
So I was like, man,
this is like someone
329
00:14:56,394 --> 00:15:00,190
who doesn't even know,
like the difference
330
00:14:58,438 --> 00:15:01,567
between like these.
To me I was like,
331
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:04,110
I need, I need, I need
a more physical doctor.
332
00:15:04,110 --> 00:15:09,115
Man Yeah, that's not good.
The other one in the
333
00:15:09,115 --> 00:15:12,035
mine space was obviously
the reviewing of automating
334
00:15:10,701 --> 00:15:13,662
and optimising,
but the other one is
335
00:15:12,035 --> 00:15:15,331
I want to get colourful
with my drawing. So once a week
336
00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:17,832
I continue the drawing,
I'm going to add
337
00:15:16,123 --> 00:15:19,668
some colours and add some,
you know, some red hue,
338
00:15:17,832 --> 00:15:22,296
some blues. I've got some of the
different colours
339
00:15:20,168 --> 00:15:23,839
all over the place,
just getting there
340
00:15:22,296 --> 00:15:25,131
and have fun again. This is,
this is basically me
341
00:15:25,131 --> 00:15:27,927
telling you I'm meditating
50 minutes a week
342
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:33,222
by the way of colouring. So just,
I mean you can actually go
343
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:34,975
and look this up that is
colouring meditation purposes.
344
00:15:34,975 --> 00:15:39,855
It's used in, in this or other
sort of health care spaces
345
00:15:39,855 --> 00:15:43,775
for helping calm down people,
overactive minds and etc..
346
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:47,403
Lots of spaces. You can see
colouring is being a useful
347
00:15:45,568 --> 00:15:49,447
that I've been wearing.
Of colouring in books like adult
348
00:15:49,447 --> 00:15:54,620
colouring in books for jeez,
at least ten years now.
349
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:57,331
Yeah, but just imagine.
So this is just me
350
00:15:57,331 --> 00:16:00,793
drawing and colouring
in my own thing, basically
351
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:02,753
at the same level of like,
you know, five year old,
352
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:05,923
six year old type of deal.
So yeah, try to get that
353
00:16:02,753 --> 00:16:06,966
sort of mental aspect.
I think any, you know,
354
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:09,426
magnificent art pieces
just strike me immortal.
355
00:16:09,426 --> 00:16:12,971
Bottom of the levels
of the memorial drawing
356
00:16:13,054 --> 00:16:16,683
the last two years.
I've only got six
357
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:19,602
for this particular month,
1 to 1. So on
358
00:16:18,434 --> 00:16:21,772
the comics is a frantic.
So I said, you know,
359
00:16:19,602 --> 00:16:23,774
how am I going to do this?
I'm going to try reviewing
360
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:25,942
at the end of the day,
alongside my other
361
00:16:23,774 --> 00:16:27,235
journaling that I do.
I want to add a little check
362
00:16:27,235 --> 00:16:33,283
because I hey, in the day
in the spectrum between
363
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:34,909
CYBERCOM is super frantic.
Where does it strike?
364
00:16:34,909 --> 00:16:36,245
So it's funny.
It is. It's just too hot.
365
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:39,248
And every interaction,
make sure you're calm or,
366
00:16:39,248 --> 00:16:42,250
you know, calm, not frantic.
It was just one of those
367
00:16:42,250 --> 00:16:43,961
when you ask yourself
over and over and over again,
368
00:16:43,961 --> 00:16:45,254
you're going to forget
at some point.
369
00:16:45,254 --> 00:16:49,341
So rather than doing it
in a very acute sense,
370
00:16:46,337 --> 00:16:50,134
I went, okay, I'll do it
selectively,
371
00:16:50,134 --> 00:16:54,346
but just in a daily sense,
a daily practice where
372
00:16:52,677 --> 00:16:56,472
I won't forget to do that
and I'll review
373
00:16:54,346 --> 00:17:00,101
going through on that. Okay.
This day I was more calmer
374
00:16:57,015 --> 00:17:03,397
than what I would expected
based on my day or shit.
375
00:17:03,397 --> 00:17:05,315
I was way more frantic
and there really wasn't
376
00:17:05,315 --> 00:17:07,026
that much like crazy
things happening.
377
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:12,239
So a little bit of that.
A last one. So this is the
378
00:17:12,239 --> 00:17:15,284
deeds over words
and you'll go on to.
379
00:17:15,366 --> 00:17:17,243
So it's going
to be horrible for me
380
00:17:17,243 --> 00:17:20,748
when I attempt
to not say anything, story
381
00:17:20,830 --> 00:17:26,545
or exclamation unless that deed
is underway or completed.
382
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:29,548
Because I don't want to say no.
Okay, gotcha.
383
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:32,925
I'm going to be doing
memorials Web three
384
00:17:32,968 --> 00:17:36,012
or hey, I'm writing
two kilometres next week
385
00:17:36,012 --> 00:17:39,182
or I'm going to be doing
whatever in September.
386
00:17:39,266 --> 00:17:41,351
It'll be if I'm sharing
something or a story
387
00:17:41,351 --> 00:17:43,436
or I'm telling you like something
this happened,
388
00:17:43,436 --> 00:17:46,065
it's either happened
or have acted on it
389
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:50,443
to try to move me away
from getting words ahead of deeds
390
00:17:48,733 --> 00:17:53,404
or reactions. So those are the
the six September goals.
391
00:17:53,571 --> 00:17:56,200
Again, less some of them
take a lot of time,
392
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,702
some to take way less time.
But the big ones are going
393
00:17:57,659 --> 00:18:02,705
to be just
optimising a few things
394
00:17:59,702 --> 00:18:04,875
around my personal work
business life so that I can
395
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:07,294
start increasing it
in other areas. Yeah,
396
00:18:07,294 --> 00:18:08,836
that's funny,
because that's that's one
397
00:18:08,836 --> 00:18:12,673
where it's I would find
that super easy. So for the
398
00:18:12,673 --> 00:18:16,720
latest value for value
episode, I give 15% to
399
00:18:16,804 --> 00:18:19,515
someone who I think
is worthy each time
400
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:24,519
and I already roughly know
beforehand I release the episode
401
00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:27,021
and then I kind of
do an official post saying,
402
00:18:27,021 --> 00:18:29,066
and this is where
it's all going to.
403
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:32,736
And I was sending it
to this one guy, CSP,
404
00:18:32,736 --> 00:18:36,656
comic, strip blogger and Fountain
kind of stopped working for me
405
00:18:36,656 --> 00:18:39,785
and I wasn't actually able
to change it. And I was try
406
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:43,955
I tried for ten, 15
minutes, was like, All right, now
407
00:18:41,619 --> 00:18:47,917
this is actually something
the guy can't really
408
00:18:43,955 --> 00:18:50,211
alter on my end. And
yeah, I was just like,
409
00:18:50,211 --> 00:18:52,213
you put out the post,
you know, 50% to him.
410
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:56,093
And then immediately
afterwards I was like,
411
00:18:53,089 --> 00:18:57,135
And by the way, CSB,
it's not working at the moment,
412
00:18:57,135 --> 00:18:59,637
so I will send this on to you,
any stuff that comes in.
413
00:18:59,637 --> 00:19:03,057
So yeah, it's very much
one of those ones where it's like
414
00:19:03,057 --> 00:19:07,436
even when it was saying the deed
and I knew I wouldn't
415
00:19:05,685 --> 00:19:10,440
be able to complete it,
I was already somewhat
416
00:19:07,436 --> 00:19:12,067
trying to backtrack or
fix it before it happened.
417
00:19:12,067 --> 00:19:14,569
So yeah,
it's just funny how funny
418
00:19:14,569 --> 00:19:17,780
how we're quite different
in many ways. All right, cool.
419
00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:20,241
Let's get on
to my September goal. So one,
420
00:19:20,241 --> 00:19:22,869
this is going to be a fun
one for you because I've probably
421
00:19:21,785 --> 00:19:27,790
never talked about this before.
And so this is related to kind of
422
00:19:27,790 --> 00:19:32,253
like finding a cool check.
I'm going to start
423
00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:37,134
a dating app for real these.
So I've tried
424
00:19:32,753 --> 00:19:39,010
dating apps before, but
one thing that I've
425
00:19:37,217 --> 00:19:41,555
learnt from this best man
speech was there's a way
426
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:44,223
where you can write
a speech in 15 minutes
427
00:19:41,555 --> 00:19:47,185
and it's done.
And then there's a way
428
00:19:44,223 --> 00:19:51,064
where you can spend
four, 4 hours on it. And there's
429
00:19:49,896 --> 00:19:53,608
a big difference
between 15 minutes and 4 hours
430
00:19:53,608 --> 00:19:57,195
of, of creation,
of practice, of testing
431
00:19:57,195 --> 00:20:02,534
and things like this.
And every time
432
00:19:58,488 --> 00:20:04,912
that I have ever tried out
a dating app before,
433
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:06,997
I've come into it being like,
Fuck this thing.
434
00:20:06,997 --> 00:20:12,711
And I've never really
spent time to craft it,
435
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:16,548
I guess, and doesn't mean
I've put up shit photos
436
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:20,051
or anything.
I'll probably be using
437
00:20:17,048 --> 00:20:22,762
roughly the same photos,
but it's more like the
438
00:20:20,259 --> 00:20:25,766
the act to the intent
of actually using it. Of
439
00:20:25,807 --> 00:20:28,935
creating a bio,
of actually thinking like,
440
00:20:28,935 --> 00:20:30,938
okay, what actually
am I looking for,
441
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:33,815
you know, filtering out
because you can put filters on to
442
00:20:33,815 --> 00:20:37,778
certain ones and yes, I'm going
to try it out for real.
443
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:42,074
This is I'm not expecting it
to be great, but I'm really going
444
00:20:40,071 --> 00:20:43,991
to try like,
all right, come on, try,
445
00:20:43,991 --> 00:20:48,454
try and try and try
and make this as if, you know, as
446
00:20:47,078 --> 00:20:50,249
if this was the only
option that was available.
447
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:55,002
Give it a shot like that. Well.
And this will slightly change for
448
00:20:55,002 --> 00:20:57,673
probably the month afterwards
because some other stuff
449
00:20:56,171 --> 00:21:00,717
is going to be happening.
But yeah. This is going to be
450
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:04,179
multiple apps.
Is it just the one app I Yeah.
451
00:21:04,179 --> 00:21:08,016
I'm I'm probably leaning
towards just one. Yeah.
452
00:21:08,016 --> 00:21:09,518
Because I think
if I have multiple
453
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:13,105
then that's going to
get me into the mindset of
454
00:21:13,145 --> 00:21:15,816
you know stuff
of this all like I'll do
455
00:21:15,816 --> 00:21:18,277
multiple of it, you know,
it'll just be too much.
456
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:21,488
So yeah, I'll try out just one.
Kind of like cool.
457
00:21:21,488 --> 00:21:24,865
I guess I'm keen to see
how that works out. Yeah,
458
00:21:23,281 --> 00:21:28,452
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Um, the second one, this related
459
00:21:27,118 --> 00:21:30,204
community communities
fix up the V for the podcast.
460
00:21:30,204 --> 00:21:33,291
I've kind of learnt,
I suppose over this last year
461
00:21:33,291 --> 00:21:40,464
that the actual in-person
physical stuff of creating online
462
00:21:37,712 --> 00:21:43,468
ones is very, very hard
and it's not probably
463
00:21:40,464 --> 00:21:45,304
my strong suit. I can participate
in some ways,
464
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:48,307
but I think the best way
to do it is to be
465
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:51,101
creating good products
or good things
466
00:21:51,101 --> 00:21:56,480
which will help out other people.
And so yeah,
467
00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:57,773
I just want to really work
on the Value for Value podcast
468
00:21:57,773 --> 00:22:01,862
for another month and
and get it to a place where
469
00:22:00,318 --> 00:22:04,530
I'm really happy with it.
I suppose so this is just
470
00:22:04,614 --> 00:22:07,992
all sorts of things.
I was just mentioning
471
00:22:07,992 --> 00:22:13,874
how the how the splits that I had
aren't working well,
472
00:22:11,954 --> 00:22:15,500
that haven't been working
for all the previous episodes
473
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:17,501
because I switched posts
and all this sort of shit.
474
00:22:17,501 --> 00:22:20,130
So yeah,
I don't want to fix it up
475
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:23,924
for the financial one.
I want to try out the Thorchain
476
00:22:23,924 --> 00:22:25,634
Have you heard
of Thorchain before.
477
00:22:25,634 --> 00:22:30,682
The Thorchain Yeah. It's a feel.
Like I had in mind.
478
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:33,518
Like you've commented it
to me as well. Yeah,
479
00:22:32,558 --> 00:22:35,479
you might have had. Yeah.
So this is kind of thing
480
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:40,942
Erik Voorhees has been focusing
on the last year or two
481
00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:44,863
and it's really related to
being able to switch
482
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:49,451
in a native asset.
As in I have a theorem,
483
00:22:44,863 --> 00:22:53,038
I have an A theorem wallet
and then I have a bitcoin wallet
484
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:55,164
and then be able to just
purely switch from Etherium
485
00:22:55,164 --> 00:22:58,085
to Bitcoin with one
of their smart contracts.
486
00:22:58,085 --> 00:23:01,380
So none, none of this like
sending to an exchange,
487
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:04,215
that sort of thing.
So basically it's with Thorchain,
488
00:23:04,215 --> 00:23:08,470
it's basically meant to be a dex,
a decentralised exchange,
489
00:23:05,592 --> 00:23:10,388
so you don't need a KYC.
So I really want to test it out.
490
00:23:10,388 --> 00:23:13,057
It sounds like it's
kind of gotten up to speed
491
00:23:13,057 --> 00:23:17,229
and is actually usable now.
When I last kept it, it wasn't
492
00:23:17,311 --> 00:23:19,480
dead. I just want to try it out.
Something new? Yeah.
493
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,109
Not be cool to see how
how you go about with it. Yeah.
494
00:23:23,109 --> 00:23:27,864
The physical stuff.
This is related to front splits,
495
00:23:27,864 --> 00:23:32,451
pancakes and middle splits.
Honestly, I'm so surprised
496
00:23:29,615 --> 00:23:35,663
at how this goes
going for me, just over
497
00:23:32,451 --> 00:23:39,166
this last year, it's.
I did a lot of work,
498
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:41,044
I suppose, last summer,
but it feels like I haven't done
499
00:23:41,044 --> 00:23:42,878
anything really hard
for six months,
500
00:23:42,878 --> 00:23:46,633
but it's greatly improved.
So I'm just going to once again
501
00:23:46,633 --> 00:23:49,678
set aside extra
time for middle splits at the end
502
00:23:48,343 --> 00:23:50,345
of some workouts.
Not all of them,
503
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:52,556
but the ones where I do
have a bit of time
504
00:23:52,556 --> 00:23:54,223
and just really work
on the middle split.
505
00:23:54,223 --> 00:23:58,269
So that's kind of the
only thing I'm lacking on related
506
00:23:58,269 --> 00:24:03,023
to creating memorable moments.
This one I've kind of changed
507
00:24:03,023 --> 00:24:05,026
and it's actually
almost like an anti one,
508
00:24:05,026 --> 00:24:08,028
which is just take care
of yourself smartly.
509
00:24:08,195 --> 00:24:12,741
I mentioned beforehand
like to some, some health
510
00:24:09,405 --> 00:24:14,536
issues in the family.
It's just a lot of stress,
511
00:24:12,826 --> 00:24:17,497
a lot of changes
coming up and probably
512
00:24:14,536 --> 00:24:18,789
in a negative sense.
So I just want to make sure
513
00:24:18,789 --> 00:24:22,294
I'm not doing anything too
silly like trying to do,
514
00:24:22,294 --> 00:24:26,131
you know, like you was saying,
just just pare it back
515
00:24:24,045 --> 00:24:28,008
a little bit. That being said,
I might be going to the circus
516
00:24:28,008 --> 00:24:32,596
this month because there is a
Brisbane festival
517
00:24:29,675 --> 00:24:35,265
on in September. Which circus is?
It's just like a small child.
518
00:24:35,265 --> 00:24:38,768
It'll be in the Southbank Plaza.
So it's probably, you know,
519
00:24:38,768 --> 00:24:42,564
nothing too crazy, $50,
$60 a ticket or something.
520
00:24:42,646 --> 00:24:44,106
But I mean, here's
a random call up,
521
00:24:44,106 --> 00:24:48,319
but I've been to a circus
circus display twice,
522
00:24:45,608 --> 00:24:50,321
three times, I think both here
in Australia and overseas
523
00:24:50,321 --> 00:24:54,284
and fucking with the money
every. Yeah. I've been such.
524
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,076
Phenomenal. Yeah. Yeah. That was
one of the African ones
525
00:24:56,076 --> 00:25:00,207
and yeah it was,
it was truly, truly crazy for us.
526
00:25:00,207 --> 00:25:01,958
Duolingo just going
to try and get it done.
527
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:03,335
We'll see.
We'll see what happens.
528
00:25:03,335 --> 00:25:07,047
See if I can do better
than I think. The last last
529
00:25:05,377 --> 00:25:09,758
one was three. I did one hour,
the one before I did too.
530
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:11,593
So let's
see if I can at least beat
531
00:25:11,593 --> 00:25:14,471
one of those mashup.
Got to go to the doctor's
532
00:25:13,010 --> 00:25:15,430
for a check-up
make sure I get that done.
533
00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:19,893
And then reviewing the other book
review channel, researching
534
00:25:18,474 --> 00:25:22,479
other book reviews.
So once again, it's
535
00:25:19,893 --> 00:25:25,105
kind of a bunch of goals.
Those goals. I didn't take off
536
00:25:23,020 --> 00:25:26,982
last month, just just
have another shot of them.
537
00:25:26,982 --> 00:25:29,861
See how we go. I think this month
is doable as well.
538
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:35,866
I don't you know, it's like
the same amount of days,
539
00:25:32,071 --> 00:25:37,911
but I will have five extra
because I won't be
540
00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:40,872
going to a wedding.
So you would a shame
541
00:25:37,911 --> 00:25:42,249
I come on card,
you can get that in but.
542
00:25:42,249 --> 00:25:44,000
A few extra days there
that allows you to do it.
543
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,463
Yeah. Yeah. And that's
not going to tidy up
544
00:25:47,628 --> 00:25:51,508
current there
in terms of his September
545
00:25:49,463 --> 00:25:54,176
goals and annual goals.
Yeah. Yeah. Moving forward
546
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:55,303
then it'll be brand
new annual goal and support
547
00:25:55,303 --> 00:25:58,515
through the message around
what cards is going
548
00:25:56,971 --> 00:25:59,766
to be getting up to.
So make sure you be checking out
549
00:25:59,766 --> 00:26:03,519
that definitely good.
Have you actually told
550
00:26:01,476 --> 00:26:04,645
the memorial that's
what's happened to you
551
00:26:04,645 --> 00:26:08,607
to your arm fitness wise and um.
Well let's talk about help
552
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:09,733
you just talked from the fitness
perspective.
553
00:26:09,733 --> 00:26:10,902
I think I have chatted
through a bit.
554
00:26:10,902 --> 00:26:15,781
So from a fitness goals
and my overall view, I feel very,
555
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:18,910
very tightly managed.
Just, you know, a couple of items
556
00:26:16,615 --> 00:26:20,119
in terms of how I want to
finish a running phase.
557
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,539
I want to do an Olympic
lifting phase. I want to do a
558
00:26:23,623 --> 00:26:27,251
particular CrossFit workout,
I want to do a running
559
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:29,378
events, stuff like that.
But you know, luckily
560
00:26:27,251 --> 00:26:31,006
what I'm doing the running
phase at the moment, but to yeah,
561
00:26:31,006 --> 00:26:33,258
I don't know what I did
focus me more like
562
00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:35,884
maybe a few months ago
I did a particular
563
00:26:35,884 --> 00:26:37,804
snatching workout
with a lot of snatching
564
00:26:37,804 --> 00:26:41,432
or maybe it's just been
repetitive impact
565
00:26:39,221 --> 00:26:43,268
but it's, it's basically
what I assume is tennis elbow.
566
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:45,436
But I'll be finding out
more in detail tomorrow,
567
00:26:45,436 --> 00:26:48,189
whether it's, you know,
a stress fracture, whether it's
568
00:26:48,189 --> 00:26:51,358
a terrible tendon
if it's right tendons.
569
00:26:51,442 --> 00:26:52,902
Stress fracture
because I thought you were
570
00:26:52,902 --> 00:26:54,988
saying it was your forearm
that was hurting.
571
00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:56,698
I thought that was it's
it's in essence.
572
00:26:56,698 --> 00:26:59,200
So for people who
when you see like a
573
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:05,373
tennis elbow so it's it's
I wouldn't say imagine if you get
574
00:27:01,368 --> 00:27:08,167
like the middle for them and in
the middle of before
575
00:27:05,749 --> 00:27:11,086
and then between that
point and like your elbow
576
00:27:08,167 --> 00:27:12,922
in the middle of that.
So from that point
577
00:27:11,086 --> 00:27:14,382
all the way to the elbow
that's where it's like
578
00:27:12,922 --> 00:27:15,759
really sore.
So if I was to press it,
579
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:17,469
especially in the point
of the elbow,
580
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:20,471
like the external elbow
with my thumb,
581
00:27:20,638 --> 00:27:23,516
this let's say like a six
out of ten pain.
582
00:27:23,516 --> 00:27:25,727
But if I was to do it
in a particular angle,
583
00:27:25,727 --> 00:27:29,814
while I'm like trying to
maybe grip something or doing
584
00:27:27,854 --> 00:27:30,981
a particular white,
it goes to like eight out of ten,
585
00:27:30,981 --> 00:27:34,986
Not like it's quite like it's
to the point
586
00:27:32,858 --> 00:27:36,695
that I would drop like cup
if I was holding it
587
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:39,324
incorrectly at that point.
So yeah, we'll see.
588
00:27:36,695 --> 00:27:40,866
We'll see what comes up.
Luckily I got running
589
00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:42,951
to be doing that.
That's not going
590
00:27:40,866 --> 00:27:45,747
to be hurting my elbow,
so we'll see. Although apparently
591
00:27:43,744 --> 00:27:48,083
running hurts your bicep.
So if that is true, that is true.
592
00:27:48,083 --> 00:27:49,875
If you remember a long
time back takes it now,
593
00:27:49,875 --> 00:27:52,545
it actually has my arms
and does my swing
594
00:27:50,919 --> 00:27:54,130
get it holding it up. So, yeah,
I do remember that fact.
595
00:27:54,130 --> 00:27:57,342
You know, that's what you get
for a bulky, bulky one.
596
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:58,801
You know, you get sort of
an. Exactly.
597
00:27:58,801 --> 00:28:00,095
Is there any other bit
more light out there
598
00:28:00,095 --> 00:28:02,180
that gets around
when you run? Let me know.
599
00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:04,223
That's got to. Be
the only thing about it. Yeah.
600
00:28:04,223 --> 00:28:08,560
It's certainly not the
the typical of. The average ship.
601
00:28:06,684 --> 00:28:09,645
All right. And what about your
fitness goals?
602
00:28:09,645 --> 00:28:14,567
Anything, any call that's.
No, I don't think I've
603
00:28:11,105 --> 00:28:17,528
gotten any points per se.
And this is
604
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:19,405
just related to the big.
You'll see it
605
00:28:17,528 --> 00:28:20,699
on your screen now my
you know, rough
606
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:22,784
points that I want
to get in the year.
607
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:26,453
Most of it was related
to one arm things for this time.
608
00:28:26,453 --> 00:28:31,041
I have been just I never thought
I'd say this,
609
00:28:31,041 --> 00:28:33,586
but I've been enjoying
doing plunge training,
610
00:28:33,586 --> 00:28:35,505
never thought
I would say it for years.
611
00:28:35,505 --> 00:28:37,923
I just said like, fuck
the plants, I hate it.
612
00:28:37,923 --> 00:28:43,680
I don't want to do it most.
Look, I kind of
613
00:28:42,178 --> 00:28:45,848
that I was leaning into it
because my friends started
614
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,933
making fun. These like all kind
you get after
615
00:28:46,724 --> 00:28:49,978
they plant some time.
And so I would then
616
00:28:47,933 --> 00:28:51,730
lean into saying, I'm.
Not doing it yet.
617
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:54,315
But yeah, I've been really
enjoying it.
618
00:28:54,315 --> 00:28:57,109
It's, it's been I probably
because it's such
619
00:28:57,109 --> 00:28:59,319
a new movement for me.
I've been kind of getting
620
00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:03,031
those rookie slash
intermediate gains. So
621
00:29:03,115 --> 00:29:08,246
I'm now able to to hold positions
which even just a month
622
00:29:05,535 --> 00:29:10,205
or two ago were, you know
me straining my max
623
00:29:10,205 --> 00:29:11,750
and I could get
a couple of seconds.
624
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:17,255
So that's been good.
But yeah, once again,
625
00:29:12,791 --> 00:29:20,383
it's kind of eye forward
for getting back into one
626
00:29:20,467 --> 00:29:24,846
arms again,
which I kind of stopped. One was,
627
00:29:24,846 --> 00:29:27,973
I think it was around January
or maybe even December
628
00:29:26,096 --> 00:29:29,267
where I was starting to have
to pare back things
629
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:31,728
because I was just going
way too hard.
630
00:29:31,728 --> 00:29:35,022
And so now I'm kind of
like ramping back up again
631
00:29:35,022 --> 00:29:39,611
to just just fixing up
any of these little
632
00:29:37,357 --> 00:29:41,863
niggling injuries and then
I'll I'll start start
633
00:29:41,863 --> 00:29:44,865
doing doing one
arm stuff again and just.
634
00:29:45,032 --> 00:29:47,242
Get back I can I can just see
what's going to happen for
635
00:29:47,242 --> 00:29:50,288
the new annual goals
is going to be a lot of one arm
636
00:29:48,702 --> 00:29:52,539
hamstring stuff. So so
that's not too crazy man.
637
00:29:52,539 --> 00:29:56,836
It's the fitness
stuff will be relatively
638
00:29:53,833 --> 00:29:59,172
the same, to be honest.
Yeah. Yeah. Nothing.
639
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,256
Nothing too much.
But yeah, yeah, that's.
640
00:30:00,256 --> 00:30:03,092
I think that's a good place
to finish the month goals.
641
00:30:03,092 --> 00:30:05,385
So thank you
everyone for joining us.
642
00:30:05,385 --> 00:30:10,141
This is as we as we say,
it's a a way to kind of reflect
643
00:30:08,722 --> 00:30:11,476
about that.
Just a couple of extra things
644
00:30:11,476 --> 00:30:15,270
that you might not hear
in the typical topical podcast
645
00:30:13,603 --> 00:30:16,064
that we do,
which are a little bit
646
00:30:16,064 --> 00:30:19,358
more related to one
and I in everyday lives.
647
00:30:19,358 --> 00:30:23,070
So we do hope you
enjoy this and we do hope
648
00:30:20,567 --> 00:30:24,530
that you get some value.
And if you want to
649
00:30:24,530 --> 00:30:27,407
show appreciation
for that value, there's
650
00:30:25,698 --> 00:30:29,827
many different ways
you can share this episode
651
00:30:27,407 --> 00:30:31,621
with a friend. You could tell us
some of your goals.
652
00:30:31,621 --> 00:30:33,038
We would actually really,
really love
653
00:30:33,038 --> 00:30:37,000
to hear that of of what
your up to, how you're going to
654
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,548
try and improve yourself,
how you're going to go do things.
655
00:30:41,548 --> 00:30:45,468
Yeah, we would just love
to know what you're up to.
656
00:30:45,551 --> 00:30:47,135
You can do that
by any of the links
657
00:30:47,135 --> 00:30:50,138
down in the show notes
and reach out to there.
658
00:30:50,138 --> 00:30:53,934
I will just say meremortals
info @ gmail.com.
659
00:30:53,934 --> 00:30:55,269
We never call it out,
but if you want
660
00:30:55,269 --> 00:30:58,272
to send an email, that's
that's the way to do it.
661
00:30:58,314 --> 00:31:00,525
And then the final
and probably preferred
662
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:03,694
way is to send in a boost,
which is where you can support
663
00:31:03,694 --> 00:31:08,740
the show monetarily as well as
as giving us a message
664
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:11,368
at the same time.
So using a podcasting 2.0 app
665
00:31:11,368 --> 00:31:14,830
where you will see images
like I was just
666
00:31:12,578 --> 00:31:16,833
talking about then
and so some of these
667
00:31:14,830 --> 00:31:21,086
just for example,
a fountain, podvers
668
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:22,630
castamatic, Curiocaster
both available on your phone
669
00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:27,218
and on the desktop and it's
going to meremortals podcast dot
670
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:29,804
com slash support
if you want to know more
671
00:31:27,218 --> 00:31:31,096
about what that is.
And then there's also a PayPal
672
00:31:31,096 --> 00:31:33,932
which no one has used yet.
So if you really want
673
00:31:32,598 --> 00:31:36,728
to support us
with some with some money
674
00:31:33,932 --> 00:31:38,980
I would, I would.
Love to. Try. To do. It.
675
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:41,900
Yeah, definitely.
Just give that a give that
676
00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:42,942
shout out. You could be.
So there was chad
677
00:31:42,942 --> 00:31:46,028
F was the first person to
give us a boostagram.
678
00:31:46,028 --> 00:31:49,449
You could be the first person
to send us some Fiat Vega.
679
00:31:49,490 --> 00:31:52,785
So if you, if you want a
special place in my heart.
680
00:31:52,868 --> 00:31:54,953
So all you have to do so
all you have to do, it's
681
00:31:53,869 --> 00:31:57,789
not that hard.
To get through something good.
682
00:31:57,789 --> 00:31:58,750
Mere Mortals
We can leave it there.
683
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:01,794
Thank you very much for tuning in
to the monthly goals here
684
00:31:59,917 --> 00:32:03,337
for September. For now, take care
wherever you are.
685
00:32:03,337 --> 00:32:09,051
