The Bryson Every Day Project

222. FedEx Wage, Workload Priorities, Not Giving Up, Nutrition Options

🔵🔴 7:38pm, Tuesday, May 28th, 2024, Home, UT
 
The first title of this episode was titled "Whole Lotta Shit," but then I changed it to what it is now. Now you know.
 
Topic 1 - Dunno what to focus on next.
Shitty feeling not knowing what to do. But the reality is I know exactly what to do. It's just I don't feel like I have a solid plan of attack for whatever it is. Which is a very shitty excuse BECAUSE episode one of this entire podcast was made from the principle of just starting. And here we are as a result of that.
 
Topic 2 - The 100-Option nutrition plan.
I want to pack this thing with as much value as possible. So going over-the-top with providing literally one hundred options to choose from based on your goals and preferences (not food, just macro split) was something I felt was absolutely required. What's cool about this is I got about 80% of the core functionality done in a day. Just focused effort on one thing.
 
Topic 3 - FedEx Wage
FedEx is key to my next phase in business with providing me additional income to dedicate toward business. Just skimmed over that and went into depth on the salary. FedEx pays well for anyone who is interested, it's just very tough work if you want to work 6 hour days. If you're cool working 9-10 hour days it'll be a lot more chill for you.
 
Topic 4 - Not Giving Up
So while I was in the "I'm just going to go to bed early today, fuck all this" moment, I was reminded that I need to eat 2 more meals, drink 20oz more of water, record a podcast and write about and upload it, and then I'd be clear. This was a great reminder that this is is exactly where everyone else quits and throws in the towel. This is exactly where everyone else loses momentum, gos backward, and starts the slippery slide to giving up altogether. So this is another no brainer for me to keep pushing on and not give up. Because if in this whole game, it's about last man standing, all I have to do is not give up. And by default in the end I'll be #1. Now of course it doesn't work like that, there's warriors and giants out there in the top 10,000... I just need to make it to that. And today is just another test passed.
 
I think that's all.

221. Make “Work” The Goal

🔴🟢 7:58pm, Monday 🇺🇸, May 27th, 2024, Kitchen, UT
 
"Desire is a contract we make with ourselves to be unhappy until we get what we want."
 
To say your goal is to be happy literally means you do not possess happiness. So, happiness will always be outside of you. But what if you say your goal is to work. Well then every single time you sit down and chip away at that thing, you're accomplishing your goals. And you're able to do that every single day.
 
You can build a lot of momentum get some shit done if you are reinforced daily instead of once every few months when you hit other goals. You can set this up so you are winning daily. All I want to do now is work. It excites me. All of this is a game. I feel like I'm actually near obsessed with working because I am so eager to level up.
 
It's like when you first drop into RuneScape in Lumbridge and you don't know SHIT about ANYTHING. But you are so stoked to walk around and kill cows for cowhide and make SERIOUS cash. But the beauty in all of this is you don't know what else there is. Yet you're already absolutely ecstatic over selling cowhide to the general store. There's an entire world out there. And the only way you can possibly reach it all is by working to level up and get out there.
 
Imagine playing RuneScape but never leaving Lumbridge. What a shitty game.
 
For those who got the reference, I KNOW this struck for you.
 
For those who have no idea, imagine being born, being taken home, and never being able to leave your property. You can go outside and hangout, invite friends over, but you can never step foot off your property. Life can still be pretty enjoyable. But at the cost of literally everything else. 
 
I see the work that I do as me working to level up to finally step off my property into the neighborhood, where I then have to level up to unlock the city. And as long as I am working on my goals and not quitting, I will without a doubt get there. And that is SO exciting.

220b. Expectations Always Fall Short - Keep Moving

🔴🟢 11:21pm, Sunday, May 26th, 2024, Shower, UT
 
Very simply put, I had expectations that fell short and I was very frustrated about it. But being frustrated isn't going to do me any favors. It's best to accept it, learn the lesson, and keep moving. What am I gonna do, give up?
 
I think that's one of the biggest perks there is out of all of this. I've committed whole heartedly to this. There is no going back. So "giving up" or "quitting" isn't an option. So when things get tough, it becomes a game. It becomes "this boss keeps fucking up my shit. Wonder if I try this new attack style if it will do any better." Then I try the new attack style and voila! Success. Video game analogy but I hope that makes.
 
Just gotta keep moving forward despite the adversity punches.
 
First ever podcast recorded in the shower?

220. Social Norms for a Job Resume - "I Made My Bed 403 Days In A Row"

💎🔵 2:21pm, Sunday, May 26th, 2024, Office, UT
 
First half of the show is ass. Second half of the show is less ass. Again, just some thoughts that go on in my head.
 
You'd probably be seen as unprofessional, silly, or just fuckin' weird for putting those types of things on your resume. But what's most ironic about all of them is they scream "Hey, I take care of myself. I prioritize my goals, my health, my mental well being, and goals. I am consistent, have large amounts of ambition, strive for development every day, and want to win big in the long term. I take my life serious and plan, prepare, and execute on a very consistent basis. I make no excuses for myself and take responsibility for all my actions regardless of my circumstances."
 
Yet, an employer would see "Made bed 403 days in a row" and think, "What a clown, this doesn't pertain to shit. Denied. Weirdo." But the reality is that there is so much more behind making your bed 403 days in a row. For starts, it shows your attention to detail. Making your bed, objectively, doesn't do shit. But it does show you care about the small things, you value detail, and you're consistent. It also shows you're able to get tasks done even when you don't want to or don't feel like it. No way in hell were you PUMPED out of your mind to make your bed 403 days in a row. At least half of those you probably thought, "No one cares but me, why should I even make my bed. This is stupid. No one would even know... Pass." BUT, you still did it. Which then lends itself to having unwavering integrity.
 
All this can be extracted from "Made bed 403 days in a row."
 
Yet, this is probably (I don't know) seen as unprofessional or silly.
 
And the most profound part of all of this is that the 403 day streak has no consequences or penalties for not adhering to it. No one cares. It affects no one. They lose nothing by abandoning the habit. No one is forcing them to make their bed. Yet they do it.
 
With all this being said, why the fuck would you not hire a person with the values and ambition mentioned above? Because it's weird to see that on a resume? Eat shit.
 
For the record, this is all a theory. But I know for sure some corporate fuck would laugh at someone putting these things on their resume. Because it's not professional. What's not professional about it? Because it's uncommon to share adherence to personal goals and dreams as a way of displaying values to the employer?

219b. Doing Hard Shit Really Is The Key To Happiness

🟢 9:34pm, Saturday, May 25th, 2024, Garage, UT
 
I did not want to hit the gym. I did something very hard for myself. I all the sudden was stoked to hit the gym and get after it. 
 
Ice bath or not, what I did was very difficult for me. After doing that hard thing, everything else became cake. Self fulfillment is unlocked from doing hard shit.

219. I’d Rather Make $0 for Myself Than $100,000 at a 9-5

🔵 9:30pm, Saturday, May 25th, 2024, Shitter, UT
 
Title says it all in this one. I’d rather make $0 doing this thing for the next 10 years than make even $500,000 working a normal 9-5. And that’s because it’s my shit. There’s no cap. There’s no rules. There’s just liberty and the space to learn aggressively.
 
Had these thoughts early this morning.

218. Holy Sh*t... I Got TWO Investment Offers For My Business...

💎 9:58pm, Friday, May 24th, 2024, Office, UT
I got 2 offers from people to invest in my business. Not one. Two. For real. I'm speechless at the fact, but more than anything I am grateful. To have someone think "Wow, he's going to do it! I want to get in on this." That's so humbling. That fills me with so much gratitude. I truly have no words.
 
I took a selfie the moment I read the message and captured the moment. I almost teared up at the thought. It's crazy to think about. And again, I just don't have any words. I've been sitting here trying to type up a description but I'm not sure what to even say.
 
This is a huge moment in my tiny lil business career right now.

217. Exhaustion & Acknowledging My Work Progress

🟢 9:40pm, Thursday, May 23rd, 2024, Office, UT
I'm tired as hell man. What sucks is I can't pinpoint why that is. Just catching up to me? Is that even how sleep works? Dunno. Even with the extra sleep, the nap, I'm still absolutely exhausted.
 
Other than that, I was looking back at the work I had been doing the last week and it surprised me. I wrote about 20 full document sized pages for just one part of this workout subscription idea I have. Didn't even realize I wrote that much. It didn't feel that way at all. So, again, it's nice to take my head out of the work and see what I've accomplished. It's a cool feeling. This was tough for me personally.
 
Peace out Sam. Will miss seeing you at work brother. Good luck out there!
 
Good. Damn. Night.
 
P.S. Not sure what other categories I can include for these circle dot emoji's. Any ideas? DM me.

216. Doing Monotonous Tasks Everyday, Every Time, Consistently

🔵🟢 8:11pm, Wednesday, May 22nd, 2024, Office, UT
Listen to this episode and then one of the first 10 on here. Progress baby. Cool. Different person entirely.
 
So, Andy Frisella talked about mastering the mundane, and that is what this show is about with some added flair. I've got myself into a fixed schedule that is most optimal for me personally at this time, but that is also so rough. I have to work 10 hours, ice bath, and have a full on workout before I can start my dreamer shift (what I call the time I have to work on my goals). That sucks. What sucks more is that this is how it'll be for the next 4-8 years. Rough.
 
But, with acceptance of this, it makes it the new standard and/or new norm for me. That which is normal attracts no expectations other than that it is in fact normal. And as long as it is that (which is what I'm, now, calling "rough"), it's fine because of the acceptance that it is what it is. It's hard. So what. So is being poor and living with regret. That's how I'm approaching this.

215. We're Not Smarter Than Them - Take Some Advice

🟢 7:46pm, Tuesday, May 21st, 2024, Office, UT
There's free advice and guidance all over from wildly successful people. People who are worth billions are giving free pointers and advise to us folks who don't know how it's possible to even make an extra $500/mo. They make $5,000 in 5 minutes, and they're telling you their life lessons. Why wouldn't you listen and apply the relevant / applicable information to your life and see what happens over the course of 5 years? If they're exactly where you want to be and they're telling you what they wish they would've done or didn't do, take that and run with it. That's advise from someone who is doing exactly what you want to do. How valuable is that? And yet it's free. Just something I've been thinking about.
