Day 1 – A Well Defined Goal with Self-discipline

Jane W. My 100 Days Pledge 0

okay… see how I spent my Day 1 and what results I would get.  I’m trying to make the writing as detail as possible for this day (some of the things may be just my personal life,  I just want to  let you have a glance of how we can manage different tasks easily while able to enjoy a real lifestyle.  Not many of them will be repeated in my upcoming reports.)

2014 Sept 1

7:45am – 1st day back to school so we got up a bit earlier to get things prepare.
8am – “Hey, son…..time to wake up!   Let’s prepare our Breakfast”
8:15  News watching,  and of course, I need a cup of good coffee to bring back my “soul”.
8:30 Head off to school!  1st day back to school so I stayed a little longer to ensure he is alright!

9:15.  I get use to share “Inspirational Quote” on Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, as I think many people like me, will just need some “motivational things” to give us a push and start our day in a meaningful way! I sent 5 to Instagram, which also allow me auto-tweet to Twitter, Flick, Tumblr (which ultimately auto-post to my styling website.. lol  saved a lot of time).   The app that I use is called Pic Quotes (which I downloaded from the Google play store)

10:00  My exercise time! You might not like the idea of doing household chores, but research from UK does show that vacuuming and mopping are as good for you as any session at the gym!  Cool!  My course at the gym has just finished but I don’t bother to subscribe another course again.  Not the money issue, I guess I contracted  Athlete’s foot twice there.  Well, public bathroom, no choice. Things happened despite they look clean.

Tidied up the kid’s place, look more organized now, huh?
And do a bit of my Planting- love it?
Okay, the house chores today took me 30 mins.
10:30  Having a morning refreshing home spa after exercise!  What’s better than this?
11:00  My work starts!  I’m serious about my 100 Days pledge, so I spent 2 hours to draft my pledge, work out a logo (using www.Canva.com) , and post to  Linkedin, I’m all set to go!
13:15  Lunch time/News Time/TV time!  Cooking my noodles at home and
14:00  Alright – back to work!
15:15 Pick up my son from school! (Wow… traffic again. Luckily, the school is within our walking distance from home! )
15:45 First day after school – we deserve a treat!  A Strawberry Float!
16:30  OK!  Back to Work again!  Managing  different assignments for clients!
19:30  Dinner time!  Family Time!
20:30 – 22:30  My Book My Blog – here I go!  I’m writing a book providing A-Z things that you need to have for a start-up.

What I got today

By counting the “work time”, I used approx. 8 hours, i.e. similar to a corporate job, but I did it more in a leisure and lifestyle way (I love the spa and the float!!)
  1. I made myself a very well-defined goal with a to-do-list to follow.
  2. Skip all those gossip and junk emails.
  3. One thing at a time instead of switching between different tasks  (I didn’t reply any email until I finish one major thing on my to-do-list!)
  4. Connect LinkedIn to my business email account, and they would auto-lookup the contacts and connect me to them on LinkedIn.
  5. Viralwoot.com – they generate the Pinterest members according to your indicated interest so that you can follow them and generate the “seeds”. With these seeds, you can get followers in return!  You can even use the seeds to promote your pins, so it’s FREE! As compared with other automation tool, this one generates more quality followers. It is a free version so worth to try!  I tried this once to promote a pin in order to attract the sign up on my styling website and will see how it goes!
  6. I used Swayy.co to find relevant content and schedule the post to Twitter, Facebook Page, as well as LinkedIn.
  7. I also used Post Planner  to get interesting content for auto-schedule post.

Results

Twitter followers increased from 339 to 344 (i.e. 5. Target is 3 per day. I would say – okay).  (not by pay advertising).

LinkedIn connections. Starting number is 1241.  Now 1274. Increased by 33. (target is 3 per day) – Overshoot!
  day_1_result
Pinterest followers 318 to 352.  (Increased by 34. Target is 3 only) – Good!
Looks Great! A self-discipline combined with a well defined goal, with some relevant tools, made the result.
Today (day 2) I need to spend more time to grow the email database!  Stay tuned!

Have a good day!
