New Year Resolutions - Week 36 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 36 - Sat 03 Sep 2022 - Fri 09 Sep 2022

Week 36 was the start of the new month and it also marks the birthday of my daughter along with Spring Day. September also marks a lot of launch events in the tech as well as lifestyle industry. If I am invited to the same, I will attend them else I will relax and cover my kilometres and books on Kindle. 

1. Walking - I completed the 700 kilometres mark this week and this has been the best experience ever since the start of the year. I felt really great achieving the same with daily consistency or rather weekly consistency. Will I make it to 1000 kilometres - I am not so sure as the weather has changed and the heat is really taking a toll on me for sure. 

2. Audiobook - I completed the audiobook of The Making of a CEO by Sandeep Krishnan and totally loved this one. I also started listening to the Great Mental Models by Shane Parrish but found that to be too okay. I completed the same super-fast after seeing the hype the same has on Twitter. I have observed that I personally don't like blog posts converted into books whosoever may be the writer in that case. But I see the general trend of new books coming into the market is from famous blog posts or other content created by famous bloggers etc. I may also compile the list of 52 weeks and release a book on the Amazon ebooks Kindle platform for 1 Dollar or so. 

3. YouTube - I convinced myself to go the Hindi route for my videos but still have not started on the same. I decided the same on 09-Sep but so far I have not posted any single video in Hindi on my channel after that date. I did post a lot of YT Shorts and took my overall videos count upwards. I still have to get a viral video. 

4. Thank You - I started from 2600 count onwards and completed 19912 Thank You this week. I am feeling a lot of pain in my fingers that came due to pressing the counter on a constant basis so I am going to stop the activity soon of counting but general Thank You chanting will go on. 

5. Entertainment - I kept on watching the weekly episodes of Adhoora Sach and The Rings of Power every Friday. I also went through the torture of watching Ek Villian Returns only to see the acting skills of Tara Sutaria as I have never watched any of her films before. The torture was such that everyone left after the initial 50 minutes and I have to complete the rest of the same alone at 1x speed as I was watching the same on my 7-year-old Samsung TV. 

Cheers!!!

New Year Resolutions - Week 33 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

I think I am telling more about the achievement and less about failures but there is always an internal struggle that keeps happening with something or the other part of your life for which you are not happy. I am never happy about the fact that despite working hard on The Life's Way - this has not gotten the recognition it wanted and still I am struggling to make it all work. Definitely, there is something not done right from my end and I want you guys to tell me what I am not doing correctly? Give me your comments on any platforms you are following me on or else send me an email from the bottom of the page.

Week 33 - Sat 13 Aug 2022 - Fri 19 Aug 2022

1. Thank You - There was a complete halt of this habit in the month of August, especially during the previous week and I could only do 6000 for the whole week. I think I left the counter someplace and couldn't find the same also for many days. Anyways, I am sure I will meet the yearly goal of 1 Million for sure. It's always great to look at the big picture you are working towards and the small problems build your confidence to move forward for sure. This week I completed the 100k from the counter of 74000 and took it to 42000 again at the end of 19-Aug-22. 

2. Goodies - YouTube Creator 360 event goodies finally reached my home address and I was extremely happy to receive something with my channel name on the jacket they sent. It's in YouTube colours and you can check out the video here. I also worked on creating YouTube thumbnails for already posted videos and then sharing the tweets. YouTube thumbnail creation is an added task in itself and there should be a dedicated day for the same. I am using the Canva platform to create the same. 

3. Skillshare - I bought an annual subscription to Skillshare for USD 24 based on the notion class of Ali Abdaal and I am now spending a lot of money on books and courses to extend my knowledge further. Since YouTube monetization is enabled I am spending a lot of money on things that I always wanted even without a single cent coming into reality towards me. YouTube I am sure sends money at a certain interval or threshold and I have not reached the same yet and am still pending some address verification from my side as well. 

4. Walking - I am constantly losing out on the weekly targets against the 660 kilometres, I could only reach 645 kilometres. There is a gap of 15 kilometres which I can now take into consideration as 1 week's leave and can reset the same too but let's carry on and see if the gap broadens then we can do the same. This is because I have a target of 1000 kilometres in 52 weeks so we have 2 weeks of furloughs available. I am using the Huawei Watch GT 2e for tracking purposes. 

5. Launch Events - I was invited to the biggest launch in terms of new products at Xperience Huawei 2022 launch event that happened at Sandton Convention Centre and the goodies received were a luxurious backpack which you can watch here. I still have to share the goodies received at the Samsung launch event and I will do so soon in the upcoming videos. I am doing all these videos for you so that you guys what goes into these events and what do you get out of it in case you are interested in becoming a blogger or YouTuber in the future? Your experience might be different in case you are top of the class but general category admissions will be like what I am showcasing to you. 

6. Books and Audiobooks - I completed one book by Sandeep Krishnan called Mind of a Consultant and picked up his other book named Making of a CEO. The mind of a consultant is a definite read for all management graduates and those who are not. This brings back all the knowledge that was acquired during the long hours in the MBA school I attended and that you also wish to attend. You shall definitely listen to the same on Audible or buy a book. 

The struggle is always there but these books and audiobooks help you gain perspective and things your mind has put on hold and your memory is also not serving you. Books are the only way you can gain back your confidence to speak and putting those skills learned from books can help you grow in any area you want. My focus is on the Growth Mindset and Execution for the rest of the year. 

Cheers!!!

New Year Resolutions - Week 30 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 30 was a week where I completed a lot of stuff which have been pending on me from submitting the documents to the school for Grade 8 to various other things too. Mom and Dad too left for the United States and I also visited the Radhey Shyam Temple in Marlboro after a long gap of time. 

Week 30 - Sat 23 Jul 2022 - Fri 29 Jul 2022

1. Walking - I completed the 20 kilometres for the week which took the total kilometres to 592 by the end of 29th July 2022. This has been the longest I have ever achieved in a single year. Consistency is the key guys to achieving feats that you don't think you can earlier. 

2. Entertainment - I received the Disney+ annual membership plan from the Disney Africa team. I immediately login and created some profiles for the family. I am loving the new content which I was not watching earlier. I immediately started watching the first season of Da Vinci's Demons and finished it in a single sitting despite it running at 1x speed. My son is loving the Spiderman content which includes some new shorts, all movies and other cartoons on the platform. Thanks, Disney Africa! I only find that there should be a playback speed which needs to be added so that the content can be played at a faster speed of 1.25, 1.5,1.75 and 2. 

3. Books/Audiobooks - I completed The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime! by M. J. DeMarco which took me a lot of time as this is one of the best ones if you want to change your money and growth mindset. You can check it on Audible by Amazon. I started listening to another interesting one called The Mind of a Consultant by Sandeep K. Krishnan which is also available on Audible here. It definitely reminded me of all the MBA days when I used to live those principles sincerely to imbibe them in myself. Over the years, I have gained experience but the edge was getting blunt instead of keeping it sharp. I got the feeling that all these books on Kindle and audiobooks from Audible are taking me to the best of my ability. 

4. Thank You - I moved the counter to zero and took it towards 30500 by the end of the week. I took a break from this activity in the previous weeks and still need to find my love for doing the same. I am not feeling complete as if I am looking for something and not happy much despite doing everything I want to do in my life. Feeling content should be the main priority in our life. 

5. YouTube Monetisation - This week I broke my own records of the highest one-day revenue from USD 1.76 to 1.89 to 2.45 to 3.28 dollars on 28-Jul-22. This has been my highest so far even today for a single-day revenue. I didn't do any promotions and any other push, I think this may be because of the good CPM etc on some of the videos. 

Getting YouTube monetised and making the best out of it is my goal these days. I have been focused on trying out various kinds of content to get my first viral video. Once a viral video happens then there will be a good path for the future content and revenue stream too. You can now support me on the Patreon account also - https://www.patreon.com/TheLifesWay Thanks!!!

Week 29

Cheers!!!
