Hey dude,

Bit of a late comment but I think it’s awesome that you’re so open and raw about this stuff. I think it’s a really good idea to make yourself accountable and I’m glad to hear that you’re putting stuff in place to improve things.

It’s funny, as I was reading your post, I started ticking the boxes in my head…”yep, that’s me. yep, me. still me”…lol.

I can relate to a lot of what you’re saying. It’s funny: when a dog’s hungry, it eats; when it’s tired, it sleeps. Sounds pretty simple, but for some reason, humans seem to ignore this stuff. I think it’s because we’re too much in our heads and not enough in our bodies, which is why exercise and good food do so much for us.

Cheers for another awesome post dude

Hi Nick, I can totally relate to you regarding the work discipline and lifestyle shaping problems. I used to wake up and go straight to my computer without even taking time to have a breakfast. Since one month I decided to change all that. Now I go sleeping at 12am, wake at at 8am, have a shower, go outside to have breakfast and tea, and only after that I start working in my home office. I will go to the gym starting next week.

I’ve been very interested in meditation and yoga. Did you take lessons or you learned by reading books. If that’s the case, are there any books you would suggest? Like Roger said, you should really start surfing. I used to surg every morning when I was living in Portugal. Now that I’m in Belgium I really miss surfing as it brought physical and mental wellness in my life.

Good luck with your new lifestyle, I’m sure you will achieve great results and it will positively impact your affiliate business. I’ll come frequently to read about your progress and share my own experience

@ Graham, thanks mate. At this point Canada is top of the list and I’ll be going to Edmonton. I’ll keep you updated.

@ UW – Getting my own office space would be idea. Realistically though, I don’t think this is going to happen in the next 6 months. Perhaps it is something to look into when I head overseas.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It’s greatly appreciated.

Great post, I think it really hits a nerve with a lot of people (including myself).

Have you thought about looking into setting up shop in a shared office space?

I find it really motivating to have an office where I go to work instead of just sitting at home. It is something I have been speaking with a lot of poker players about, and those who “get out of the house” generally tends to be happier/more succesful. This is obviously very person dependant, but I tend to get more stuff done when I “go somewhere” to work.

Great post Nick! I can definitely relate to a lot of the things you mentioned. Lately I have also been trying to do a lot more to be active. I have always been going to the gym about 3 times per week, but have been trying to go even more. I also started training in Muay Thai which have been some of the best workouts I have ever had. The one thing I am still having trouble with is keeping busy at online work. I am going to try getting a part time job to see if that will motivate me to work harder on the sites, but am not sure how that will go. Anyway, if you do decide to come up to Canada keep me posted.

Best,

Graham

Thanks man, I wore them especially for you

Usually the one thing that gets me motivated is a competition. This time though I know I need intrinsic motivation. I will IM you though about an idea I have.

Trying to get myself in shape here too – just realised in 12 weeks I’m going to peeling off my t-shirt on a Goa beach, which is not going to be pretty at the moment

Good luck with the fitness drive – let me know if you fancy some kind of a challenge to keep us both on track!

P.S Nice pants

Yeah man for sure, I live an hour away from the Gold Coast which is pretty famous. My Grand father has a place at Burleigh Heads if you want to Google it to have a look. I’m trying to spend as much time with him as I can before I go overseas, so i definitely should get some mates to teach me how to surf over the Summer.

Good to hear from you man, thanks for the comment.

Hope all is well,

Nick

Fuck man, you live in Australia, learn to surf! Best stress relief you can get imo, and somehow it changes the way you think about things. Must be the salt water and sun that melows you out. Gets rid of acne too.
