We've all had those thoughts. Telling that loudmouth to shut up. Wanting to offer a breath mint to that guy who leans in a little too close when he talks to you. Or burying that annoying POS under your patio because, no body, no murder.

Just because you're over 45 doesn't mean you can't be healthy, fit, sexy, or educated. Old dogs can learn new tricks. We're going to train our bodies and our minds to get back our youth: The body, through healthy eating and physical training. And our minds by developing mental clarity and through study.

Tried to figure out the Why. The Wednesday Project (Batman by 50) is a challenge to Me. Just how much can I improve myself in three years The health stuff is simple enough; Eat well and go to the gym. That is supposed to get my body in shape.

Accountability. It helped get you off of alcohol. Maybe it can help you get better control of Project Wednesday. Going to the gym is getting easier, even when I don’t want to or am a little sick. I just go. 20 minutes there and back and you spend maybe 50-60 minutes training. Easy.

One thing that I need to make clear, not only to you out there reading this but to myself, is why I’ve been unable to move forward at pace with my study plan. There is no plan…

Here we go again. Again… This seems to be a recurring theme here but I need this to work so I’ll keep going until it does, making small changes until everything falls into place. Or when enough falls into place that it doesn’t derail. I NEED this to work.

And here we are. Again.

A few weeks ago I tried to change things up—most notably my sleep. You see I wanted less, sleep, as much as I love getting it is a bit of a waste of time, right. Okay, sure we need a good amount of it to function, but we could get so much more done every day if we could get less.

Building Will Power. Having willpower isn’t a catch-all situation, once you attain it for one thing, it doesn’t mean you have it for everything else. I can wake up at 5 am and feel good. I can step into a cold shower and barely react, pick up a book and read for hours. The willpower to do all those has been developed. Each one, in turn.

What do the four cardinal virtues mean?

• Courage

• Temperance

• Justice

• Wisdom

I’m probably going to repeat myself in this post but I want to make sure you understand the points. Being a Stoic (with a capital S) means that you’re working to have better control of your emotions rather than letting them dictate your actions.

So this is where I start testing out some things to see how they work and how far I can manipulate them to work better for me. First Sleep: I used to sleep semi-normal, in bed by 23:00, waking up at 05:00. 6 hours has been my normal for over a decade now. But I want to see if I can get MORE awake time. Sleep less but train my body to get better quality sleep. Right now the aim is 5h 10m’s of sleep in a 24 hour period with Polyphasic sleep.

On January 7th, 2023, around 08:30 in the morning, I woke up and my face didn’t feel quite right. I took a photo of myself. This is what I saw. Hi my name is Jason. Don’t worry I’m not going to preach of the evils of Alcohol. But I am going to tell you why I finally decided to quit

Life is a constant evolution, a dance with change that shapes who we are and where we’re headed. This site is transforming once more. I don’t yet know where this journey will lead, but that’s the beauty of it—each shift brings us closer to where we’re meant to be.

So, no pearls of wisdom from Greene, Pressfield, Deida or Holiday today. It's just me and my brain trying to figure out what to post. Then it hit me like a 1.8kg slab of beef. Or rather; One Beef Flat Rib weighing in at .578kg One Prime Rib weighing in at 1.262kg I’ve been meaning to visit my local butcher for a while now…

If you’re not pushing yourself forward, you’ll achieve nothing, but if you push forward too fast you could derail and still achieve nothing. But by leaning forward, just enough to make the situation uncomfortable, into the unknown, so you have to learn new skills to progress, we have
