Daily Journal | Day 17 | 07 December 2025 | $250 a week goal

Date: 07 December 2025

Day: Sunday

● One thing I want to remember about today:

Being Sunday, I was supposed to have a rest day, but yesterday a colleague gave me his evening duty because he had some important work. So I agreed to do his duty, and after a long time I had such a duty where I stayed busy the entire shift and performed very important tasks.

● What time did I sleep last night and when did I wake up?

Slept at 12AM and woke up at 06AM

Total Sleep = 6 hours

● What data will I look up after a month or year?

The difference in my mindset, knowledge and financial condition before and after.

Reminders:

● No one can waste my time except me.

● Small wins: win the seconds, win the hours. Don’t overwhelm; use the 2-minute rule.

● The way you do anything is the way you do everything.

● Conduct weekly/monthly reflections.

● Don’t multitask; focus on one big thing each day.

● Manifest the work you are about to do, using a diary.

● Most Important 1-3 Tasks:

1. Coverage duty of my colleague that I have committed to do

2. I have to prepare for my midterm exam

CS301 Data Structures (1~2 Lectures)

CS504 Software Engineering-I (1~2 Lectures)

CS610 Computer Networks (1~2 Lectures)

● What I don’t want to do today:

Next Saturday, I have to take exams for above 3 subjects, so I cannot watch the community videos this week.

Day Start:

I woke up at 6 AM, performed Wudu, and prayed Fajr and recited the Holy Quran. At 7 AM, I went to the mess for breakfast. After that, I opened the Skool app on my mobile and read the community posts, liked them, and commented. By this time, it was 8 AM. Then I wrote my daily journal and posted it in the community. Then, I opened the Virtual University LMS to check the midterm exam syllabus and paper pattern.

From 9 AM to 10 AM, I watched the first two lectures of CS301 Data Structures. From 10 AM to 11 AM, I watched the first two lectures of CS610 Computer Networks. Then, from 11 AM to 12 PM, I watched the first two lectures of CS504 Software Engineering-I. After that, I got ready for my evening duty and had lunch. By this time, it was 1:15 PM.

I then opened the Skool app again, read community posts, and replied to comments until 1:40 PM. Then I went outside the hostel, the shift coaster arrived at 1:45 PM. I reached my duty, prayed for Zohar, and performed very important tasks during the duty. Later, I prayed for Asr and had tea. The remaining time was also spent on various activities.

I had dinner at 9 PM, prayed for Isha, and returned to the hostel from duty at 11 PM. After that, I used my mobile, checked community posts, and went to sleep at 12 AM.
