New Year Resolutions - Week 48 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys,

Week 48 - Sat 26 Nov 2022 - Fri 02 Dec 2022

Week 48 is the last week of November going into December 2022. I did what kept me at bay for so long and that was the booster dose for the Covid-19 vaccine. I went to Tara Hospital at 50, Saxon Road, Hurlingham which is the place which is still doing Pfizer vaccination in case you need to go. After that, for 2-3 days I was down and really down due to the third dose. 

1. Daily Walking - I completed the month of Nov-22 at my highest ever with 115.86 kilometres in total for a single month. This has been the best performance during the whole year of 2022. I did around 30.65 km in total for this week. The week ended with me reaching 925.69 km and for the rest of the 3 weeks, I need to do only 75km to reach 1000 km. With all the efforts done in Nov-22, I could reach the target.  

2. Entertainment - I watched Chup! a movie that I watched in anticipation of it being good but it's a one-time watch. I also loved watching Khakee: The Bihar Chapter based on the book and life of IPS officer Amit Lodha. The series has been made really well and is available on Netflix for your viewing pleasure. I also watched a movie on YouTube called Zed Plus which is an old 2014 movie. I watched the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever that's been pending for a long long time. I didn't like it much but overall it's also a one-time watch for sure. There have been some missing components that only came together at the end and it's a great emotional ending that will uplift the future of the Black Panther movie series.

3. Covid-19 Booster Vaccine - I took my third vaccine from Pfizer and it really made me nostalgic as to how I was suffering when I was actually down due to Covid. It's a real eye-opener that life is too short to let your ego take all the decisions. I felt okay only after 2-3 days and as Covid is rising again in China, let's wait and watch the impact if any on the other countries. 

4. 10 Years of The Life's Way - December is the month when I celebrate my blog The Life's Way and this year it will complete its 10th anniversary on 27 Dec 2022. I have no giveaways planned as this year I reduced the time I spent on my blog and only did around 138 blog posts with very less press releases. No brands collaborated so I invested my time in books and audiobooks. Going to 2023, I will only post for those brands which will do some collaborations with me through trade exchanges or sponsored posts. You only have limited time and don't waste it living a wishful life where in reality you are not getting anything in return. 

5. getAbstract - Do you have 15 minutes to enhance your knowledge like never before? If you are a frequent traveller and can't invest time in completing the whole book reading then you can stay in touch with all the latest releases across your niche and interest by reading the summaries of the books. You can also listen to the same too if doing some jogging or exercise. You can grasp the main learning points from the books in the shortest time possible. If you love Quotes and want to tell someone those are specially bookmarked by the website. You can learn more about the authors as well. It can also download (Mobi format) for offline reading on your kindle free of cost or you can send it using the kindle email but Amazon will charge a small fee. The library now includes videos and podcasts from all the famous non-fiction authors. So what are you waiting for? If you subscribe using the link, you will get a massive 30% discount on any of your membership plans!

This year I have invested in a lot of learning platforms like getAbstract, Skillshare, Mindvalley, Masterclass etc and in 2023 for sure I will schedule myself to get the most benefit out of all of them and will share with you guys too! 

Cheers!!!

New Year Resolutions - Week 45 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

Week 45 - Sat 05 Nov 2022 - Fri 11 Nov 2022

Week 45 is also focused on completing all the pending tasks for the year and enjoying the journey too. I am so grateful to everyone for reading all these blog posts. Do let me know what inspiration you have taken from them?

1. Daily Walking - I have picked up pace this week also and completed 848km of my journey towards the 1000km mark and clocked 26.27km this week. This is despite the fact that I took rest for 2 days on the weekends due to extensive walking in the previous week. The deadline towards the goals is the best motivator if your intent is to complete the same task within the same timelines. 

2. Launch Events - I attended the Samsung Innovation invite at the Johannesburg Head Office where they introduced us to their upcoming technology and other innovative products line up in 2023. There was a TV which cost around 2.5-3 Million ZAR and it will be worth watching the same once it comes to reality in South Africa. After the same, I went to the Dell Tech Forum which I only reached when it was almost finished and got some goodies despite reaching super late. The video of the goodies received is here - 

3. Product Reviews - I received the second version of the Instax Mini Link 2 Smartphone Printer and this one is the best if you want to buy for your portable Instax photo prints on the go. I also got some other products to review that will be done in future. 

4. Entertainment - I watched a new web series on the Disney Plus streaming platform called Save Our Squad with David Beckham which features a small team from the bottom of the charts and with his guidance reaches the first half of the points table. 

5. Healthy Living - Using the daily Iron tablets and taking the other medicines has definitely started to show some impact on the overall motivation and energy levels. You shall definitely take something to keep your energy levels up. When the body is not able to produce a lot of vitamins from general food habits then it's good to take multivitamins from time to time but under the supervision of a Doctor. You can't take anything just like that as it can lead to some problems in your kidneys and other organs. 

Overall Week 45 is something that is keeping me towards all my goals for the year that I set at the start of the year. I feel great as I read a lot of books, listened to a lot of audiobooks, watched a lot of YouTube videos, a lot of web series and movies, subscribed to Skillshare, getAbstract and so many great platforms that kept on my learning levels high. I want to take it further up in 2023 and use some of these platforms a lot more than I did in 2022. getAbstract is special because it saves me a lot of time and gives me the best synopsis or summary or gist of all the books and even articles in an audio or pdf format for me to go through at my convenience. I am really invested in getabstract for making a better choice of books and learnings. 

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!!!
