It has been been five days since I started my internet diet experiment. If you haven’t read my previous post, this experiment consists of not accessing the internet before 9am and after 8pm. It’s not hard to stick to a schedule like this, you just unplug your internet connection and you’re ready to go. I planned to use software to automatically disconnect from the internet, but for now I’m doing fine… Read more

A week ago I asked my friends on Facebook about the craziest thirty-day challenges, and I got quite a few interesting ideas. I’m posting them here today, along with my own contributions. These are all challenges that you won’t usually think about, yet some of them can be very powerful. I personally want to try some in the near future. If you want to give them a shot as well, I’d love to hear about… Read more

Now that I have implemented the habit of waking up at 5 am, I find myself with lots of time available. This is usually a good thing, but time per se is not a big deal if you don’t know what to do with it. Up until today I would just used to wake up and work on what needed to be done, and if there were nothing to do I would just invent something. This is not necessarily bad, but I always had the feeling… Read more

This is the first update to the meditation habit I’m currently going through. The plan was to do 30 minutes every day, however, mainly because I went through a cold and I had some difficulties breathing deeply for too long, I limited to 20 minutes on two days by following a short meditation tape that a friend and reader sent to me. I have to say that although I have been doing this for just a few… Read more

In a previous article I talked about the importance of meditation. I learned to meditate two years ago after following a one week program where we would meditate for one hour at 6 am (in the mountains), before doing some chi gong and tai chi. It was an incredible experience and I learned a lot. After that experience I continued to meditate quite often. I also tried visualization and it has really… Read more

Wow, it has been a month since I started my waking up at 5 am experiment, and I think it’s a good time to draw some conclusions. First, I want to say that I started this experiment to see what would have happened if I started to wake up early. As a 23 years old guy, I knew that it would have been hard, but I decided to try anyway. After all, I knew I could have quit after 30 days if I wanted to, so… Read more

Developing good habits is the basic of personal development and growth. Everything we do is the result of a habit that was previously taught to us. Unfortunately, not all the habits that we have are good, that’s why we are constantly trying to improve. The following is a list of 30 practical habits that can make a huge difference in your life. You should treat this list as a reference, and implement… Read more

Today is the 17th day of my waking up at 5 am experiment. It’s incredible I’ve made it so far. Especially waking up at 5am on saturdays and sundays was strange at first, but it’s very rewarding, and not that difficult. The nice thing is that you really get a lot of time when you wake up early. After the firsts days when the hype is high and you just work on the list of things that were accumulated… Read more

Today is the 4th day of my waking up at 5 am experiment and also the first one where I was allowed to sleep more. As I said, every thursday I’m allowed to sleep more because I usually go to bed late on wednesday morning. Last night I went to bed at around 11.40 but I managed to get up naturally at 7.30 am this morning anyway, 15 minutes before I had set the alarm clock, which was very nice. The interesting… Read more
