It's been a while. I went to the UK for a vacation after the last entry and had a wonderful time with college friends some I hadn't seen in 30 years! I returned to find that 11 people had been laid off. The combination of the good vacation and Mindray's disregard for it's employees has given me motivation to take action towards another career.

Last Thursday the divorce was finalized. That requires me to take care of a number of things to comply with the property settlement agreement. The oil situation is at a standstill. Work is very challenging. Last weekend I spent time on my finances: income, expenses and net worth. I calculated the current situation, and two possible situations relating to retiring with/without(renting) the house. Selling the house gives me a lot my freedom and flexibility, but I will need to resolve the oil situation before I can sell the house.

So what are the major priorities for the next 90 days?
1. Take care of the property settlement agreement activities.
2. Resolve the oil situation
3. De-clutter the house
4. Prepare the house for sale

Four major items are more than enough to focus on. As each one is completed I will look for the next priority (passive income or trading).

What are the daily activities (outside of the 90 day priorities)that I am committed to?
1. 30 day tabata challenge (I've completed 10 days)
2. 30 day pull up challenge (installed the pull up bar today, so day 1!)
3. 30 day journal challenge using the "daily activity reminder" (again I'm at day 1)

Once I have completed the 30 day tabata challenge and it has become habit I will add another 30 day challenge. Three at any one time is enough.

Spent most of the day practicing trading. Had a lot of losers, but still more than a $1000 positive. Did squat tabat (15) and pull up practice. Texted Deb and talked to Inge!
