A Simple Method an Ex-Lazy-Boy Used To Take Control Of His Life...

Asalamu Alaikum (Peace be with you) dear Warrior Brothers and Sisters,

Let me tell you a story:

5 Years ago I finished high school. While I was in high school I had everything going for me.

I wasn't classed as a geek, but I excelled in every subject. Scoring the highest marks in the class on any given test was easy for me. I was just blessed to be able to learn any given subject rapidly if I gave it effort, which outwardly appeared effortless.

I wasn't classed as a popular kid, but I excelled in every sport. I have to confess, this is because I love sport! Ever sinse a minor, I was always the kid running down the road hyper-actively, spinning arround, jumping about, climbing on walls and up trees.

However, in my last year of high school, my life took a turn for the worst.

I lost dear Uncle, my Mother and Step-Father started to break up and the home began splitting. On top of that I went through what I believed to be true love with a girl who then went on to break my heart.

I became a mess.

That year, I missed my final examinations. I had no good reason too, I was just a depressed mess. I just couldn't find it in me to do anything constructive.

A few years went by and I still didn't achieve anything with my life.

I started college at a low level because I didn't have grades from high school - then I quickly became bored of the work there because it was too easy for me - then dropped out.

Things were looking real bad for me.

And then - about 6 months ago now...

I TOOK CONTROL OF MY LIFE AGAIN.

I regained what I used to have: my passion and energy.

Sinse then my life has been on the rise. Every week I'm taking on new challenges, loving them and dominating them.

I've regained my strength and stamina which I'd lost from not being active, I've been involved in some major classes in my home town which teach Comparitive Religion and basic skills.

It is safe to say, I'm back, and I ain't stopping again, not ever.


What I taught myself changed my life. And to help others change their life would be an honour.

So as I'm new to the forum and I don't have much to share marketing wise, I am taking this opportunity to teach you Warriors the methods I used to climb out of depression, build confidence and self esteem and tackle goal after goal.


Here is what I done:

1) Firstly I split my life up into three catagorys. a) Lifestyle. b) Fitness. c) Knowledge.

Lifestyle to me means things like: Washing, Cooking, Cleaning, Spending time with family, Saving for a rainy day, Giving to charity, Helping others etc.

Fitness to me means training the body to perform better in everyway: speed, strength, balance, flexability, endurance, explosiveness, breathing.

Knowledge to me means two things: firstly it means "subjects" which I am interested in learning or becoming better at: Maths, Economics, Art and Design, Marketing, Writing, Entrapaneurship, Business, Comparitive Religion etc.


2) I wrote up where I would like to be in 12months time. Using the 3 catagorys and the subjects above as a guide.

3) In each sperate "subject" for example "strength" I wrote up "Levels" and "Progressions".

For example, my ultimate goal in "stength" is to become a master of my own bodyweight.

After doing some research I decided that this goal mean't having the ability to perform:

2x50 Pistol (one-legged) Squats.
1x100 One Arm Push Ups.
1x10 One Arm Handstand Push Ups.
2x50 Complete Hanging Straight Leg Raises.
2x50 "Stand-to-stand" Back Bridges.
2x20 One Arm Pull Ups.

So what I done is created a workout diary containing these 6 exercises only.

I set ALL "levels" to ZERO.

Then I created the first 10 levels and noted them down.

My aim is always to reach the next level and the levels become progressively more difficult.

I also keep a record of my current "level" on any given excersise, and what the "next level" is, along with notes and other things a standard workout diary has.

Doing this gives me the motivation to consistantly improve myself.

Everyday I can see that I'm DOING SOMETHING and when I look back at the levels I've already achieved I know in my heart that I've actually ACHIEVED something that I want to achieve.


The whole thing took me about 2hours to set up in total. And I have a few notebooks all nicely kept together containing everything. It's all very neat and works very well.


Then, at the beginning of each week, I take a look through all of my notepads and I construct a "TO-DO" list for each day of the week.

So for example, my "To-Do" list for tomorrow is:

1) Full body stretch (2x30secs) followed by Balance Training (25reps per leg) - *My balance training is: Put an object on the floor in front of you, stand on one leg, pick it up with left hand, put it back down with the right hand, this is one rep*

2) Running - 2Miles.

3) Put clothes into laundrette - clean bedroom - pick up clothes - do ironing.

4) Breakfast

5) Write 3 high quality articles for bodyweight fitness blog.

6) Sign up to CPA network *If found one. (I've asked a few places online, including here for help).

7) Push Ups Workout.

8) Start cooking dinner.

9) Help Granddad with his new Sofa's.

etc. etc. etc.


Then I simply mark off the to-do list as I do them.

Bearing in mind that my to-do lists are all based on me working towards my "next levels", plus I add in things which have nothing to do with my levels, you know just everyday stuff, or stuff which comes up.

I have to say, it's worked a charm!

It take only a few minutes each day to record everything - when I'm out and about I record things on my phone - and each night I spend just 10 minutes looking over my future plans and tweaking them where need be.


Take my advice. Get some form of "progressions" written up and start hitting those targets.

Use simple lists to go from one task to another without wasting time.

Make sure you include rest time, food time and family time.

You will be a better warrior!

I sincerely hope this has helped - please ask if I wasn't clear or if you need further information.

My idea helped me so much I think I would be lost if I didn't dream it up. So I pray it helps you too.

Even if you custom taylor it to only 1 subject, i.e: Affiliate Marketing or eMail Marketing.

Write up your first ten "levels" and start ACTING.


Trust me, when your on something like level 29, and you've been keeping your progressions realistic, but increasingly more difficult, you'll look back and be so happy and proud of yourself.

You get a buzz and just want to work harder towards your next level.

Even when you reach level ONE you will feel the reward.
