I failed 😞


I failed my own challenge, Ami.
Last week, I said I was going to start and finish an amigurumi project.
In a week!
Now, I'm thinking back on how the week went and I realize that I underestimated the time it would take to finish the bunny 🐰.
Along with the other things I had to do....
I feel like I put much pressure on myself in terms of what I needed to do.
And I'm not the best when it comes to self-discipline 😏 
Especially when doing a task that's related to a project I know I have to complete.
I'm trying my best, Ami.
And I won't give up on my ability to adapt and correct myself.
Before I started typing, I went back to a book that got me into the idea of habit building in the first place.
It's called, "Habit Stacking" by S.J.Scott.
I stumbled on the book last month on a website (PDF drive) and downloaded it immediately.
I read the whole book and started my challenge. I haven't really gone back to it since I started....with the copywriting, content creation and all.
I'll check it out again.
So I can see where I went wrong in the last 20 days and revise my habits.
One highlight from the book I want to share is that goals are different from habits, but goals can be achieved with the use of small habits each day.
Another one is that there are seven categories of goals namely: Career, Finance, Health, Leisure, Organizing, Relationship and Spirituality.
In short, the book is a very helpful one.
If you want to see what mean, you can download the book on PDF drive.
Search for PDF drive on google.
Then search for "Habit Stacking" on the website. The book has a puzzle cube on it's front cover.
I have to go back to the book now.
And it's day 22 (before I forget to add that).
I hope for a great week ahead 😇
See you soon, Ami 
PS: I will still complete the bunny and I'll show you a picture....I still like to do amigurumi...for leisure.
I should probably take it down a notch on this 'challenge' thing 😅😅
Anyways, you don't actually fail...you just learn valuable lessons.

Overwhelmed

Hey Ami....what's up? Hope it's all going well at your side. If it's not, just remember that things will get better.......and it pays to be grateful that things are not worse than they currently are. Well, my day went great...figured out how my work time would go. Explored my former accounts today and started to make some changes. Especially to my IG account. I also started to feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of how I would manage my presence on these platforms. The people who do it are no different....it all just comes down to planning and systems. I'm gonna explore that as well. And also realized that the Threads platform is quite different from IG. Anyways, I think I would have to plan out how I'm going to show up on my platforms. Although...the goal is my email list...still need a plan. As for this challenge, I got what I really needed out of it.... learning about routines as a way to simplify habits. That's all for now.....typing was not part of my ...

System Update

A simple system update  That was the only thing it took to make my day, Ami. The day started with me trying to type out content...but the keyboard wasn't responding like I wanted it to. And I didn't want it to make me upset so I just adjusted to it...but then I started to think of how it was going to be if I needed to type a response to a message online....(that's me thinking ahead) "Well, till that time comes", was my final thought. I browsed the settings to see how I could remedy the situation (it was really getting to me 😬) Couldn't really figure out anything so I just left it and charged my phone. Then, evening came and I needed to work on a design...the device was still acting up  I snapped, Ami. I went straight to the settings and got to the system update which needed data connection. Started it and stared as the update downloaded...and got installed. "OPTIMIZING YOUR DEVICE...THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE" , was the next thing I saw. Then I just ke...

I Just Did Something Crazy

 Yep! I had no idea I was going to do this. It wasn't in my to-do list. The idea just popped into my head and I thought, 'why don't I give it a try?' What I did? I started this post. The thing is, I think a lot and remember little afterwards. Who am I? Let's just say I'm a twenty year old Nigerian and I'm just thinking out loud. If you're reading this, you probably have a lot of thoughts running through your head as well. The same happens to me. This is my very first post and I want to warn you. WARNING! THIS IS NOT A USUAL BLOG! I started this as a crazy idea and I want to keep it that way. UNUSUAL So, if you like to read about experts and gaming and fiction and life, this is probably not for you. Why I say this? Because the coming posts may be about all of none of the topics you read about. They may be grammatically correct but purely nonsensical. They may be short or long or in rant form. I may not even post regularly. One thing I will assure you is t...
