Paying to have time off work

BeWiseMonkey — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:03:05 +0000

Paying to have time off work, you know that work is wrong when it cost money not to do , free time cost me £258 for 5 additional days off work. To get away you have to pay , don’t think that working 40 hours a week is enough. You want to see something other than a computer, I want to see your money. You want freedom you have to pay of it. One day I will be financially secure to not have to work all the time, work any place any time and live off my own results. I want my freedom, I want my own time table I want to see. Even if it cost’s me money, I will pay money to have more free time. Just a bitch for the boss’s dollar at the moment , every day working on a way to break out of the rat race.

FreeSole Barefoot review Nike

BeWiseMonkey — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:45:43 +0000

FreeSole Barefoot review Nike , after looking at buying the Vibram five fingers for a long time I decided due to the fact they are so hard to get hold of in the UK, I would go for a pair of Nike Free instead, the Nike Free sole is a flexible sole , the sole is not as thin as the Vibram nor does it have the toe pockets for each toe, but what it does do is double as a shoe that can be worn almost any place walking bareoot. The Nike Free TR is a good enough looking cross trainer that is goes with most jeans and trousers , and is a good start for free running and a closer barefoot experience for walking barefoot, I know that these have strengthened my toes and feet the first few weeks these trainers were painful. My toes and feet ached. I will have some Vibram’s the feeling is that they are coming at some point in my life. I am very happy with my Nike Free Barefoot trainers at the moment, i mite even buy a second pair of the same shoe just in case they change the design or discontinue. Working on my parkour and freerunning in these barefoot style shoe could even have the feeling of. Im not sure how strong they would be I went on a skatebouard in the Nike Free’s and I didnt want to wear them out by doing ollies. I have used these trainers for jogging and jumping and found that due to the increased flexibility i am allot more agile on my toes. I can quickly sprint and change direction with these shoes.

The design is very good, I can wear these most places and i know that if i need to run they are suitable to quickly breaking in to a sprint. Videos explaining barefoot basics

Pink Noise for concentration, relaxation and meditation

BeWiseMonkey — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:19:34 +0000

Pink Noise for concentration, relaxation and meditation

So I have found that I can concentrate allot better when I have some noise to block out external distractions, Usually I use music and some ambient trance to block out any distractions and work harder by listening to music, I have found I can work longer and harder with deeper focus and concentration when i have music to focus on and create my own head space, But the music has become repetitive and also a distraction in its self, Which track to put on and the volume and also becoming borde of my music selection, I have found Royksopp to be very effective for working especialy their Album Melody A.M this album has worked for years.

Recently I have started using my MP3 player again, and as it’s been a holiday weekend I’ve used it allot to work on my blog and also to aid in sleep when my neighbors have been partying. Once again music works fine but it has also been rather distracting and annoying at times. Then I realised that often the most soothing and comforting sound is simply just the low humming of my computer, I have often fell asleep just by the sound of this in the background , I Used to have an old lap top which had a white noise, this white noise often lead to the best snoozes and sleeps. So I decided to look in to White Noise I knew that white noise was effective for aiding sleep and concentration, White noise is used to aid sleep and also for mediation reasons as white noise covers and blankets other sounds, white noise covers and diffuses other distracting noises, you can even buy white noise machines that generate white noise for your office or bedroom to help sleep and cover up other sounds. This sounded ideal for me I needed a sound that I could use to concentrate, white noise was good for concentration, and focus, I also needed something to play on my mp3 play to cover up late night music and distracting sounds.

I went on to youtube and searched for white noise, this is when I came across pink noise. Great white noise and pink noise now I’ve got a choice. After listening to many white and pink noise samples, I picked out that I actually find pink noise more soothing than white noise. Pink noise is less harsh and has a sound similar to a gushing waterfall, pink noise is easier to listen to than white noise and Ican also tune out of this sound, till Ialmost forget that even that noise is playing. I have no idea why pink noise has improved my concentration, I have yet to use pink noise to sleep better although I have found it easier to relax with pink noise. I have been using it tonight while I write this post and I find it very useful , when it’s a solid sound that blocks out those little noises, I am easily distracted by slight sounds , if I hear a voice I want to listen to what they are talking about , if I hear a bump or a slam I want to know what is going on, with pink noise I am finding that I am able to stick with my focus for longer and keep going with out distractions. Pink noise for meditation and health, pink noise for concentration and focus, if I use these tools and sounds to work on some level pink noise could also be used to work and success. or maybe even using white noise during exercise, to focus on training have not tried this yet, white noise in the gym.

I purchased a pink noise track 60mins from amazon its just a constant whooshing sound here is a example of pink noise below.

BeWiseMonkey — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:50:40 +0000

Ahh failing I hate it, I hate it and it is very annoying so I spent apromitatly 4 hours training and practicing FIFA 2009 which is a football game , not that I enjoy the game or am even that botherd about football but I wanted to not loose, I got beat at this game and I thought ok fine , I will do a little practice, and will learn and then I will play this game again and kick some butt, So I practiced for 4 hours and I watched youtube Videos for hints and tips of how to win this game. I was starting to feel lucky at FIFA, I was on a lucky role with FIFA, It felt bad failing, I was feeling lucky and my skills had improved. So I decided to challenge my friends and test my new found FIFA skill, I used the hints and tips I had learnt on FIFA , but then I started to loose, I lost 6 – 0 , it felt bad failing very bad, and was even called a saw looser. Well I will try again and practice some more.

Getting up early challenge over!

BeWiseMonkey — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:17:52 +0000

Getting up early challenge over!

Couldn’t do it, getting up early was hard, especially at 5am . This is not just getting up early this was getting up stupidly early. I mean this was torture, and the days when I managed it I was tortured. I felt like a walking zombie, the living dead. I think that even though I did not manage this task, once again it was something new. I have a new insight on the mind of someone who wants to get up at 5am. Damn this was too hard, waking up at 5am when the alarm went off then setting the alarm for 6am, then 7am then just getting up at the usual time. And since this for the first time ever I have slept through an alarm and been late for work. Ah no this has the opposite effect of what I wanted to achieve, I was more tired , more of a mess, a social ghost drifting around asleep and awake when everyone else was sleeping. More realistic and something that I am currently working on is just not abusing my sleep , I need to get a certain amount of sleep so I am taking my sleep when I can get it, and getting my rest in early if I have nothing more productive to be doing. The morning jog day was good and also some of the other days battling with the alarm clock and snooze button.

This is something worth while for getting a start on the day and getting a head-start on the rest of the world, but if your life is pretty simple and organised, then there is nothing extra that needs to be done, 6am is still plenty of time to read for an hour or exercising for an hour. 5am just seemed a little excessive, and falling asleep at 8pm or feeling tired while driving home from work is no fun at all.

Nike Free Sole Flexible

BeWiseMonkey — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 19:23:57 +0000

This sole is Good , I have the Nike Free TR , which has a camouflage back and nice black colour, they are a cross trainer that look smart, so can be worn any time very functional , If you need to run any time I can break in to a full Sprint wearing the Free’s . I’ve experimented with different types of shoes. But have found that using these I’ve been jogging more and more. Also found that I’m on my toes allot quicker. I really like just running on the spot and also climbing with these , the deep grooves down the middle really help to get a feel for my footing around the rope and where the edges are. I think with the Free’s they do take a while to get used to, you need to become confident that they will provide just enough support on your feet. I really want to upgrade next to the Vibram FiveFinger’s more than likely I would get the Ko’s as I like the idea of the extra support they offer. And are a bit more covered up over the top of the foot. This sole is very flexible, the Nike Tr’s have a criss cross pattern on the bottom which makes them able to flex from side to side as well as allong the foots natural arch

Getting up early day 9 to day 12

BeWiseMonkey — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:29:08 +0000

Day 9 Monday 9am

I was absolutely tired and worn out, I had spent all Sunday training parkour and running doing body weight exercise, plus the outside air, by the time I went to bed I slept when the alarm went off at 5am I heard it but I was worn out and my body was aching, felt more beneficial to sleep the extra 4 hours. This experiment on the few days where I have got up around the 5am mark has really run me in to the ground. Still try and get up tomorrow, I really felt better for the extra sleep, my arms and back of shoulders were really aching today.

Day 10 Tuesday 5.30am

Got up at early today, put on the trainers and got out the house, went for a jog. Had a bit of a run then some walking, felt really great jogging at that time , there was a few cars about and people walking around must of thought he’s serious. The air was nice and clean and it really blew the cobwebs out of the system, took a while to get used to. The iPod headphones kept falling out of my ears while I was jogging which was very annoying. Also found that I was a little bit shaky on my legs, trying to do some leaps and jumps my legs were not quite awake. I got home, had a blast in the cold shower, also seem that bit colder in the morning when you’re not quite woken up enough to take the sharp shock. but that felt good and had breakfast bananas and oats, and all this by 6.45am so decided to get back in to bed for a bit, which feels great after a cold shower. Set the alarm and fell asleep / snoozed till 7.15am which is my usual wake up time on this shift before I started getting up early. Felt good at work, the days are starting to feel long, the morning goes on forever when it feels like I’ve been at work all day, its only 11am. Also felt good saying that I had been up had a run ect.

Day 11 Wed 10am

Tired, my shift today was 12-8 as it only takes me 15mins to get to work I could have got up at around 11.20am at a push, this morning the alarm went off at 5am, I reset to 6am, snoozed it a bit , rest to 8am, snoozed button pressed a few times , reset to 9.30am , then pressed snooze and then just laid in bed till about 10am then decided to get out of bed. My snooze button sets the alarm to go off 10mins later, so pressing it 3 times in a row that half an hour in 3 ten min sleep instalments. Needless to say I didn’t get up early today; I have yet to get up at 5am when I’m on a late shift. Getting up at 5am when I don’t start to 12pm that’s 7 hours before I even get on my shift. This is the excuse though, on these days I don’t need to get up till at the latest 11.20am so there is so much time to have a lay in bed and snooze/daydream. And I think that is what most of my team does on this day as well by the sounds of it. They say oh tomorrow will have a nice lye in! Me too! Even though I’m trying not to, also on Wednesday I went out and stayed out late, so got to sleep at 1am which leads to Thursday’s effort. Today I didn’t feel myself at all, It was very hard to concentrate and think of anything to talk about or think about. I could do my job because I have only so much information I need to advise, but when on my breaks I felt very detached, on the night out after work, it was hard. Just took allot of effort, maybe I’m really sleep deprived, and need a good 15hours rest or something.

Day 12 Thurs 7.10am

Went to bed late, worn out and slightly drunk. After a full on day, today the alarm went off at 5am, snooze, it went off at 5.30 I reset it to 6.30am , then snoozed a bit more. I got up at 7.10am, slightly annoyed at the fact I had pressed snooze so many times, it would have been better to just set the alarm for 7.10am and got up without all the messing about. Still not bad, the thing is I still haven’t learnt to go to bed early, and the headspace I was in yesterday after drifting through the whole day. I think I read in another article Steve Pavlina, he states get up at a set time and only go to sleep when tired. I’m not really that tired until around 1am, and then if the alarm is going off again at 5am it doesn’t seem right to get up after only 4 hours of rest. Or am I supposed to so that I struggle through the day, and then need to sleep by around 9pm. Also reminds me, while doing this I have been feeling light headed sometimes, just like whoa I could just pass out here in my chair. I’m still working on getting up early and getting a straight set of days in a row where I am up. What is funny is the woman I sit with at work, gets up every single day without fail at 5am! I asked her what time she goes to bed, around 10pm was the answer which makes sense, around 7 hours of rest. She got up today and did some gardening at 5am, fair play. Also she was reading a book for 2 hours. To read at 5am would make me fall asleep; it’s too relaxing to do.
