30 Day Trials - Day 5

At the beginning of this 30 day trial I planned to write a post for every day of the trial, but as most days are going to be very similar it may not be of any interest to write a post about every day. Instead I'm going to continue the daily updates until the end of the first week and then I will switch to a weekly update plus I will post if anything significant happens. This way I will free up some blogging time to write about other personal development topics, future posts will feature motivation, productivity, how to achieve my goals and anything else that I can discover along the way.

Like I said yesterday I seem to be going to bed later and later, last night I didn't get to sleep until about 01:30 in the morning. I was still up at the usual time, getting up when the alarm goes off still hasn't been a problem, but I did feel very tired this morning. I need to go to bed a bit earlier, just over 4 hours sleep last night wasn't enough.

After getting out of bed I went downstairs and started doing some work on the computer, I spent a couple of hours writing blog posts and promoting my blogs to get more traffic. Natalie didn't wake up until 08:45, so I had 3 hours uninterupted to do things I wanted to do, this is the big benefit of getting up early, I would never be able to get done what I did yesterday if I didn't have those extra 3 hours.

The rest of the day was spent with Hailey and Natalie, having family time, we also went to see my Mum and Stepdad for a few hours in the afternoon. At 19:00 I spent 20 minutes on the guitar before going for my 25 minute jog/walk.

I spent the evening with Hailey in front of the tv with a couple of Vodka and Diet Cokes, we like to have a few drinks on a Saturday, since we had Natalie we don't get to go out as much as we used to, so we have a drink at home instead.

That's it for another day, all 3 30 day trial items successfully completed again today. On the whole it's been quite easy so far to keep it up, I'm starting to feel a bit tired from the early mornings, but going to bed a bit earlier shold sort that out. See you tomorrow.
