“I have not yet developed the habit of a daily journalling, editing and putting that edited file in a folder for accumulation ” Liban wrote “I consider this one of the fundamental failures of my life and I have not yet mastered skills needed in order to resolve it” he wrote

“One simple solution for this particular problem is to practice journalling, editing and putting the edited file in a folder on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays and work hard to make the same thing in other days, but if I fail that is okay for this week” Libin wrote

“The best time that I should edit a file and put it in a folder is in the morning when I wake up’ Liban wrote “so, starting from today I will dedicate an hour for the purpose of editing and putting the edited file in a folder“ Libin wrote; ‘ I hate to sleep 0830’ he added.

“I should choose between waking up early in the morning or doing the work before I go to bed” Liban wrote.
“ This week I chose to work one hour early before bed” Liban wrote. “I will also work the first two hours of Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays on this task” he wrote.

Liban focused on some urgent matters and then noted ‘ I hate to edit old materials and I don’t want to do it’ he said, in an angry tone. Upon reflection, he changed his mind and chose to edit old materials and put them in a folder for more editing in the future.

“I learn it to verbalise my thoughts and subsequently subject them to critical examinations, for un-examined life is not worth living” “ for how can I allow ideas to guide me while they have not passed the test of logic and the support of empirical evidence for validation”

“ I have overcome barriers of editing old works, I then decided to continue to edit old works, but I’m too tired, so I will take a break and come back to edit them” he wrote; “ I am very happy that I have destroyed all obstacles stopping me from editing old works” he added 0907

Liban will do routine tasks and do some work related learning; then he will finish editing old works. He plans to learn a little bit of investing. 1125

“Majority of the time that I was away, I was preparing for national clinical mental health counselling examination, NCMHCE, and also for doing some other work” I will clean next 52 minutes and throw away what I don’t need” he wrote. 1530

“I cleaned a lot, more than I have done for a while, thanks to meditations and prayers, I feel accomplished” he wrote “I feel like continuing that trajectory and introducing use of free association to work on politics and other areas of life” he wrote. 1710

“I have been able to focus for a long period of time by combining exercise, meditation and prayers” he said; “ I will combine them now with tai chi to see the effect it had on my capacity to focus for extended period of time on tasks that are important to me” he wrote
