24 Hour Work Day and Counting

I didn’t sleep for a second last night nor do I still really feel the need for sleep. I’m sure it’ll catch up to me soon.

I’ve been working on some internet marketing website for the www.thirtydaychallenge.com. I found a pretty good albeit it isn’t a subject I’m very interested in, but I am still learning a lot. Sometimes you just have to give up your ideals. But hey, you still shouldn’t go far as to give your integrity.

Anyway, I’m pretty excited, and I hope I make some money today PLEAAAASE. Eh, I shouldn’t beg.

I’ll talk to you later (yeah… Carl… like you’re really having a 2 way convo).

TypeCarl.com Changing Directions

Hey guys,

I just wanted to give you a heads up on my plans. I am going to change the focus on this site to reflect my interests. Expect more posts that are a little less of the typical, “Look at me, I went to work today, it was boring, thanks”.

I will focus on technology, self improvement, education, and other random nuggets of internet gold. It will also chronicle my path from being a broke bum to a wealthy bazillionaire.

PseudoPower.com has also changed paths as well. All the positive mumbo jumbo over there will come over here. I will then post a lot of weird stuff over there like the paranormal, conspiracies, ghosts, astrology, and whatever else fits in that world. It’s like the side the masses don’t see. It isn’t going to be this fanatical site where I am going to convince you the world is going to end. I am going to take the observer’s stance and share with you that world. It’s interesting sometimes. It gives you a view of human nature.

Anyway, have a good Sunday.

Grand Opening of PseudoPower.com

I’m a bad boy for not keeping up my daily posts here, but at least I have some good news! I am finally ready to start marketing my first blog, which I will try to make money off of.

The blog is called PseudoPower. It’s a self-improvement blog that explores the helpful and sometimes crazy world of self help. It will include articles ranging from scientifically proven articles on psychology (not that scientifically proven means everything) to the more unknown world of hypnosis and everything in between. It also touches on successful people and what we can learn from them. There are a lot of product plugs as a way to generate revenue as a tie in.

The idea behind the name PseudoPower is really a pre-emptive strike against people who have an aversion to self improvement as they feel like it’s a scam. I can’t blame them as we have been hammered with cheesy marketing trying to sell us products. However, I have personally found that many self improvement products are absolutely amazing despite being unscientifically unproven. I would rather be exposed to an idea and try it out than be sheltered from it. Anyway, this paragraph applies to you super critics.

It’s my first real attempt to create a popular blog that will hopefully sustain me financially. However, I’m not putting all of my eggs in one basket. I am still working on other internet ventures as well. However, I will be spending much my time marketing this blog as well as writing posts. I hope to write at least 2-3 posts a day. Any help is appreciated :).

Check out the blog at www.pseudopower.com and let me know what you think! It’s not for everyone, but I think it has some incredibly valuable information. If you do like it, be sure to post comments there regardless if it’s positive or negative. Actually, e-mail me at carl at typecarl.com if it’s extremely negative.

I’ll be sure to keep you guys posted on this blog as well. I need to commit to one post a day even if it’s short.

Thanks for reading!

Carl

Mental Scramble

Geeze… I had one of those days that made me question all of my beliefs about life.

I’m too open minded for my own good.

Carl

The Static Force

I realized something profound yet so simple today. My mind was feeling kind of cluttered today. I needed to write posts for my new blog, but I was having a hard time getting started. When I did actually finally start, my mind became focused.

This phenomem fascinates me because most people do not take action because of this fussy or lazy feeling the mind projects. It may come from fear of producing low quality work or maybe just plain laziness. However, it’s a huge problem because you could have just ignored this feeling and just hammered on to the task and done quite well.

The golden rule here it seems is to never make a decision to not do something you need to be doing until after you give it 5 or so minutes of actually doing it. You’ll find that your mind will have completely changed focus and want to help you complete the task at hand. It can turn a lazy or tired mind into a focused mind.

Your mind is just a tool. It needs to be solving problems. It needs challenges. However, you must give it that extra push so the ball starts rolling.

You must overcome the static force.

Carl

P.S. Yikes! I told you guys I’d reveal my website yesterday… then today… well I guess it’s tomorrow for sure. I just want to add some more posts to round it out more.

Some Thoughts on the Limits of the Human Form

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Today was not a productive day. It all started with having to help my Mom with flower deliveries. I didn’t get home until about 2 PM. Then, I was unusually tired, and I wasn’t sure why. It could have been from trying to wake up early the last two days. Who knows. Oh yeah… I also had a slight headache.

This got me thinking about our limitations. When you’re tired, you’re tired. Yeah… I know I just repeated myself there, but trust me, I have a point! Your will power and motivation just seeps away when you are tired. You could work through it, but you would need a considerable motivating factor.

For most people, this would be the fear of getting fired on the job. For me, it’s a different story. I’m my own boss.

So the question is?

If my body says no, but my mind says yes, what do I do? When is it ok to listen to my body and just relax and when do I just push through it because it has to be done. I guess it really depends on the situation, but this is something you deal with when you are by yourself. It’s interesting.

I find myself trying to use tricks to motivate myself. I gave my parents a rent/expenses payment of $650 a month. This would be huge motivation because the worst thing I want to do is fail and have to rely on my parents. I do have cash on hand, which isn’t exactly mine. Let’s just say I have until January to pay it off. However, I had a big problem. My Mom had no problem taking my check, which says a lot about her :). However, my dad refused the money. Interesting… but I knew he would do it.

My Dad is too nice yet sometimes he has very strong opinions. I know deep down he wants me to get a job like he did for oh so many years, but that’s not gonna happen. Well… it leaves me to think of other ideas to remind myself to stay focused.

Let’s brainstorm some ideas…

Print pictures of starving children from around the world - Personally, this would probably be a really good idea since I’m so… not sure what the word is.

Completely avoid going to any irrelevant websites - That means you… tube…digg…facebook…yeah…
Setup an elaborate contraption that somehow knows I’m slacking and sends a surge of electricity to my body - not sure I’d ever finish building this contraption
Listen to Tony Robbins whenever I’m slacking - This might actually work! I may start trying to motivating my dogs into becoming more efficient at going for walks

Look at me… I’m trying to be a jokester and clearly going off topic… oh yeah… I promised you a new website today… well… sorry… maybe… tomorrow… I… promise… dot dot dot…

I’m a little delirious. I hope I don’t rub off on ya.

P.S. That was one of my screen names when I used to play CS. Yeah… I know… I’m so cool. And… I don’t feel like checking my grammar and spelling, so deal with it!

Not so good, not so bad

I had a decent day. I almost finished with my flagship blog, which I will unveil tomorrow. It’s very opinionated. The information is gold if you are the right type of person. It is blasphemy if you are another type of reader. The perfect mixture to stir things up about a bit.

I have to say that time flies. Sometimes you hit snags and it may be so minor, but it takes a couple of hours. I guess it’s all part of the learning process. The next time would be 10 times faster.

Another thing I did new is get myself to wake up at 6:00 AM everyday. Actually, that’s not completely true. 6:00 AM is when my new alarm clock starts. It’s a fancy setup, or so I like to believe.

Its basically my laptop serving as an audio player for with an alarm tool that plays a music playlist at 6:00 AM. I setup speakers on either side of my bed. The real special part is the actual music I am playing. It is not ordinary music as it is specially created to make sure I get a quick, but natural wake up. It plays classical music with special wavering, which is something my brain will pick up at match. I think it’s all about the frequencies in your brain. You can check it out at www.getimusic.com.

I woke up just fine with it. I think I slept through about 20 minutes of music before I actually woke up, but it was a very gradual way of waking up. No stupid alarm clock blasting in your ears that just makes you want to destroy it.

My energy levels throughout the day has been just fine, which is great since I thought I would be groggy from waking up so early.

Anyway, I need to wrap this up because I need to write a post over at bytedu.com to fulfill my desire to post there and here once a day.

Just curious. On first impression, do you think the imusic concept is far fetched and I’m being duped or… are you running off to the site to check it out?

Peace out,

Carl

My New Ultimatum

I have not been working very efficient in the last couple of weeks. Part of the reason could be that I was going on the wrong path. I was not focused on what I really needed to be doing. I got so caught up into blogging that I realized that it was only a means to an end.

However, I have a much better game plan, but I need to make the most of my time. I need to stay on track. I am now going to write daily To Do Lists and make sure I spend every waking minute of my life being extremely productive. I will use blog as a diary to record my reflections of the day and see if there is a way I can improve.

I’ll give you a heads up on details tomorrow.

For our future,

Carl Zetterlund

Changes… Changes…. Changes…

Well it looks like I’m changing my game plan yet once again. I’m pretty tired, so I’ll keep this short.

I have decided to just focus on one “flagship” blog and concentrate my efforts there. I think I went to far into the blogosphere world not realizing that I don’t want to become a full-time blogger. I’m gonna pick one and stick with it and just focus on generating revenue.

I will have other side projects, which are purely focused on generating income. I will do this by doing the 30 day challenge (http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com). It’s an online event run by some well known internet marketers. Their goal is to show you how to make 10 dollars with no money in 30 days. Of course, you can make a lot more. I’m particularly interested in how they will use Web 2.0 apps like facebook, stumble upon, and twitter. I joined a team with a few other people, and have been digesting information like crazy.

I’m super tired right now, and I really don’t feel like reviewing this post for grammar. So excuse myself.

Anyway, I must push forward.

Peacefully,

Carl

P.S. I think I’m getting a tan from my monitor.

No Impact Man is the Man!

Wow… I found a blog called No Impact Man. It’s a guy who is trying to have as little harmful impact to his environment as possible.

HE DOESN’T HAVE ELECTRICITY and lives in New York City! And that’s just the beginning.

Awesome. This is a guy I would like. He took his Prada carrying wife along for the ride too. I’ve been reading his articles, and when I read this post here, I had to share.

I accidentally started to become more environmentally consciousness by trying to being raw vegan. I always had a hard time because everyone around me did the typical thing. However, I persisted even though at times I had to give it up thanks to being in the business world.

However, I am finally free to do whatever the heck I want. That means more craziness from me. Keep in mind, I believe I’m quite sane. It’s only crazy because the masses aren’t doing it.

Anyway, STOP. Just STOP whatever you’re doing for 30 min. Can you sit still and do nothing for 30 min?

I apologize for being ending in a Zen way, but it must be done.

Peace out,

Carl

P.S. I’m scaring my parents. My Mom still wants her $5 million house and my dad wants an airplane. I want to walk around Houston looking like a Monk. Houston, we have a problem.

P.S.S Yeah… that’s great Carl… way to put in a cheesy cliche line at the end there.
