Day Numero Uno

Oh man, You would not believe the amount of stuff I've already put off today xD.

My apologies, I'm meant to be very serious and actually a tad dramatic about all of this, but I'm just amazed at myself, it's day 1 of do better or you're fucked, and even though yes, I hung a load of washing, put away another load, Converted a bunch of footage on my PC To make up free space and to quicken the editing process. Now do you see what's wrong with the above picture?

I have a week roughly until the next set of Rent is due, which requires me to have more money than I currently have, so priority 1 should be getting up and trying to pick up hours anywhere. even if it was a meagre 10 hours, It would still be enough to pay rent and bills (in perspective now, I really, really am happy to be out of that fish shop).

But, I shouldn't be. This is meant to be the most stressful point of my life...thus far I guess.
And here I am, still not taking advantage of my time 100 percent to the "best" way that I can/should. I've identified it though, so why haven't I done anything today?
Well, let's look at the thought process.

*8:30 am Alarm sounds off, I have been awake for about 15 minutes listening to the room mate move around the house whilst also having another conversation with myself about getting out of bed:

For once I'm going to start the conversation, I don't know if this is that unusual but I feel a need to highlight it.
Well that's good for you, I'd like to lay in bed a bit more. It's warm and snuggly here and I don't plan on moving I think.

Hath doth thou'st already forgotten what today is?
Oh God, that is annoying. I'll remember not to talk in ye olde anymore. Anyway I haven't forgotten.

It's Day 1.
Yeah, I know, our first big step together.

Seem's like I'm going all the effort here and it's only been 10 minutes of conscious time.
Hey that's not fair, you probably had like all night to plan this conversation.

No Chris, You know it doesn't work like that.
I wanted an out.

So you know you have to get up?
*Rolls over back to the phone, checks the time, it is now 8:45

Yeah...probably..
Probably? This is your can do attitude for the first day?

Oh dude come on, don't judge, I just woke up and I'm still in bed. I feel way better after I get dressed.
Well there's a first step then. Get up, dress yourself into something smart looking.

Why?
It's your first day, any activity other than applying for jobs is going to be deemed a waste of time.

I suppose that makes sense... Getting at least between 10-25 Hours a week right now should be my first priority.
Exactly, You can go to the Local Library, print out a bunch of resume's, head into town/corio and inquire for as many part time, casual and/or full time positions you can.

Yeah... But I also want to quickly check through my recorded gameplay content, maybe upload another video or two. One a compilation and the other tips on how to play battlefield 4.
I'm sorry, will either of these pay your rent next week?

No....
So we shouldn't be doing that first.

Well I did.
Priorities must b-
Wait, what?


Oh, Well It's 1:05pm at writing this. I've made two video blog recordings thus far about how I've felt and what I've done today.
And.... what did you do.

Convert footage, hang washing, take off washing, Drink two drinks (finishing my last and third drink now, I don't really want it sitting in the fridge tempting me)
Whatever you tell youself.
Well are you getting up now to drop off resume's and pick up any hours you can?

Well....no, I'm sitting here typing this up..
And is this blog going to pay your rent next week?

Yeah, I get it. I should be applying for jobs right now.
Yeah, get onto it.
