Mental Clarification

 Everything is falling into place mentally now, like pieces of a puzzle. I just needed to get that last idea into my head, for mental clarification. And now I know what I am going to do with creating videos. It's going to be my daughter, on a unicorn. I know, right?!

It's going to be amazing! 😁 

I'm very tired right now, because I just finished working 13 hours at work. But, at least now, I know what I am doing with the videos. My wife told me that she does not really like taking notes. And I can respect that. But for me? I enjoy taking notes. In fact, I just recently downloaded Microsoft whiteboard. It technically is not for taking notes, but it does have a template that is great for organizing notes into sections and categories on one screen. And so, I'm going to enjoy creating notes and organizing them into sections on the same screen 🙂

And of course, on the whiteboard, in the template, I'm going to cover video creation, blogging, book writing, website design, and email marketing.  It's going to be stupendous and magnificent! Absofreakinlutely amazing!

Enough Sleep

1/08/2025 8:30 AM

My mind is running 100% now. I imagine it is because I have enough sleep. It could also be a combination of what type of foods I have been eating, and the vitamins I have been taking. I really don't know. I'm not a real doctor. I just pretend to be one in this Journal Entry. You can call me Dr. Feelgood.  Yes, I'm the one they call Dr. Feelgood. But! As always! This is only a temporary feeling. I already know from experience, that this does not last. 

I would love this feeling to be permanent, but I do not know how to do that. There has been times in the past that I have eaten all the right foods, exercise, taking all of my vitamins everyday, and slept enough, and I still do not feel as good as I feel today. And so, maybe I should become a doctor, just so that I can understand how it all works. The science. The chemistry. The formula. The algorithm? 

Well, whatever it is, and whatever I need to figure out, it certainly is not worth becoming a doctor to do it. I think it is better, if I just explore using Google or ChatGPT, to try to find the answer I am looking for, how to feel this good everyday. Remember, ChatGPT now has voice conversation. This makes it easier than ever to have a conversation with AI, and try to figure out the right combination of sleep, vitamins, exercise, and healthy foods, so that I can feel this good everyday. Although, it is different for each person of the world, so that's going to be very hard to determine. 

Unless! I explained in detail, the type of foods I am eating, the vitamins I am taking, how much sleep I'm getting, and how much exercise I am doing, to the AI, so that ChatGPT can use that information to determine exactly what I need to do, to change my lifestyle and the things that I do and eat, so that I can feel this good everyday. Maybe 🤔 

11:30 AM

My mental focus has declined. I'm not sure why. But, I need to find out 😐

12:30 AM 

I believe that the reason why I think that my mental focus is declining, is because I'm trying to think about too many things at one time. I think I need to just write down my thoughts into my notes, so that I can forget about them, or at least sort them, so that I am not exceeding my mental capacity which I think is the reason why I think that my mental focus is declining. This, of course, is just a hypothesis. A guesstimation. A theory. Because, I honestly do not know why my mental focus is declining. Although, I do know that I am trying to think, study, articulate, too many thoughts at one time.

What Matters Most

 

Wednesday, July 31st, 2024

Priorities. Yes! I have been going over in my mind, what matters the most. My priorities. What are they? I am very interested in growing my blog, Social Stephen, and writing my book, Kenny Kinesis, but I must consider my priorities. Right now, my priorities are growing the blog on my website. And, email marketing.  I have also been looking into new ways to streamline the blogging process. It's just a matter of time until I will have a foolproof system to make blogging a streamlined routine. 

Next? Yes! You guessed it! Streamline the email marketing process. I must develop a foolproof, streamlined system that will allow me to find topics, content, and advertisements that can be included in the emails that I send. Yes! Get the ball rolling and keep it rolling.  This is going to take some research, learning, and formulating a plan. But, I know that I can do it. I have the drive, the ambition, and the passion to make it all happen. Of course, I will take notes and even draw a mind map, that shows, visually, what needs to be done, step by step, from beginning to end. 

Angry Birds makes me angry 😠

I have been playing Angry Birds Showdown on YouTube Playables. It was very enjoyable in the beginning. But, all of my power-ups are gone. There is no way of getting more power-ups. Yes, I can get 3 measly power-ups, with the daily reward, but that isn't squat.  The people I am playing against, in the game, seem to have a never ending supply of power-ups. There is no shop. I do not know of any other way to get power-ups, besides the daily reward. It makes me so angry. Even more angry than the birds themselves. 

There is no communication within the game. I have no way of talking to my rivals. I don't know how they're getting so many power-ups. I searched thoroughly for a store or a shop where I can buy power-ups. None, nada, zero, zilch. There are no advertisements. I'm happy about that, but at the same time, if I watched an ad, I can earn power-ups. But, that doesn't exist either. I am at a complete loss. I looked it up on Google, but did not find any results about that. But, I am not one to give up. I'm going to keep on searching, until I find out how my rivals are getting so many power-ups. What am I overlooking? What am I missing? What do I have to do to get more power ups? 🤔

The Demopolis Asphalt Plant Broke Down Today

It was just an average day today, at work. Hauling asphalt from the Demopolis plant to highway 80 in Bellamy. And then, the asphalt plant broke down. All trucks, including me, parked for 2 hours, with nothing better to do, waiting for the asphalt plant to be fixed. We chatted on the CD radio for a while, but eventually it went silent. I play the game on my phone, and took some notes. Collaborated and transferred notes around. And now I am writing this. 

It is Friday, June 28th, 2024 and I am ready for the weekend. Julie has not called me yet, asking me if I will work tomorrow. But I am expecting that phone call. Of course, I will say yes, because I want and need the extra money. But I would rather have two days off work, to relax my mind and body.  On another note, so to speak, I finally chose a note taking program and app, as my default notes taking program and app. 

And, it wasn't what I was expecting at all. Microsoft OneNote. I know, right? It was the lowest on the totem pole. I never thought I would ever choose it. I still use ColorNote for quick notes on my homepage of my phone. But when it comes to writing my thoughts down, writing ideas down, tasks to do, yeah, Microsoft OneNote. It's the bomb. 

I weighed all the options. Looked at all the different features on all the different apps. And I couldn't believe it. Lowest on the totem pole. Shaking my head. Microsoft OneNote wins hands down. That app, that I thought was just too simple and had no features, is slap damn full of features, organization, and ease of use.

Truck 120

I seen it! Driving home from work on the interstate. Here comes truck 120. Driving down the opposite lane, heading for the shop. It is the truck I have been waiting for. Truck 120. I have been driving truck 112 for a couple of years, and it's time to trade up. And so, I need to clean out truck 112, and get it ready for the next driver. Get out all of my belongings, and put them in truck 120.

Brand new! Truck 120. And Dooley is assigning it to me. He said that it is an extended cab. That will be nice! They have a little bit more wiggle room inside the truck. Oh yeah! Anyway, I'm not really expecting truck 120 to be ready to drive tomorrow. Maybe in another day or two. For now, I will just continue driving truck 112 until truck 120 is ready. I have no problem with that whatsoever.

With all that said, today was pretty uneventful. With the exception of trying to find where Snake was loading trucks at GAF. As it turns out, he was all the way in the back, next to the warehouse. And after driving around for a few minutes, I did finally find him. Aside from that, as I said, it was a pretty uneventful day. I just hauled shingles all day long. With the AC kicking on high of course. Because this is summertime! And it is hot! Moy caliente! 

And now, it's good to be home. I kicked on the ac, and the apartment is cooling down, and soon I will be chillin'. But, it won't last long. Because I'm already drowsy from not getting much sleep last night. And soon, I will hear my pillow calling my name, louder and louder. And soon, I will lay down and drift off to sleep. Yeah! It's true! I have lots of other things to do. Blogs, websites, notes. But, if I can't think straight, because I'm too tired, then I won't get anything done anyway. When you get time, see if you can add HTML and CSS to notion.so. Wouldn't that be cool?
