Welcome to Episode 212 of my podcasts review from the crow's nest and it is Monday the eighth of February, 2021, at about five to 10 in the evening. Today Monday first day of the week but also very importantly, another day, kind of trying to work towards our new structure our new. It wasn't perfect today but it was better than yesterday and I think my gut says we actually Finally I think finding something that's going to work, to tick all the boxes home, family, work, etc. and started the day off with training with Abdel. And it was, it was actually a bit of an easier session for me but it was, I think a bit easier because someone has not had like a week and a half off or so so we're gonna ease back into it, but nonetheless I had a good sweat on so it wasn't so easy, but it's a good way to start the day had a shower. One of the things that we've we've done. I've been doing for about I guess a week or so is instead of dressing in, you know, jogging trousers and cheap t shirts from Primark I've actually put on jeans nice enough trousers and a nice shirt and actually kind of dressed up for the day put on a bit of aftershave, even though I know that I'm not going to see anybody other than the family because they don't leave the house and they're the only people here. You know, part of this kind of, I think. Recently, I mean it's been happening for about six months or so but certainly in the last month it's really accelerated this focus on planning for the future and you know new goals and whatnot. And what we realised is 10, years ago, we sumana and I were working together towards these goals we were both striving towards them and we pretty much achieved it achieve what was the main goal that we set out to, which was to be able to live anywhere because our income wasn't dependent on where we were living, and to be able to travel, bring up our kids homeschool them, and pretty much, you know we'd achieved that last year, then coronavirus came and destroyed our income stream so that was a bit of an annoyance. But, you know, we will get around that, that's fine. But we had kind of achieved it. And although we discussed some you know tentatively some other ideas for the future. We realised that, you know, middle of last year, whenever we really hadn't actually come up with what we're going to do for the next 510 years because that plan, more or less took us 10 years. So, this time around, I'd been thinking about the plan but Simona hadn't been so much because she was basically chronically sleep deprived because she puts so much time into the children and gets up multiple times during the night for the kids and gets up first thing in the morning for the kids, and had been staying up late spend time with me so it's a recipe for disaster and she didn't have the energy that she had previously. And a couple of weeks ago we had a discussion about it and it was that, that moment when, you know, not saying at all. She's an alcoholic, non alcoholic but that moment when you know you can't tell an alcoholic you need to sort yourself out. You need to stop drinking, there has to be the aha moment when they finally think and a few weeks ago so when I finally had the aha moment about needing to sleep more as simple as it sounds, and since then it's been a real switch. She's getting to bed earlier. She's getting more sleep she's more energetic she's more vivacious. And as a consequence, now we're more balanced we're thinking about the future. You know it's not just me trying to pull in one direction now it's the two of us working towards it and as a consequence, we've, I've definitely felt this renewed push towards you know making changes in it, and going after the new goal and the new goal. The next 10 year goal though, I would do it quicker than 10 years but the next big goal is to buy rather ambitious, it's a lifetime goal really but to buy our first house, which will be. I probably in or hopefully in Tuscany. In Italy, and the Tuscany region and b
