Sup guys. I let myself down second half of the month which is a real shame. Went out on the piss on Easter Sunday and it just completely annihilated me. I don't know if I have ****ed up brain chemistry or if I'm just a wimp or what, but I was hungover for a few days and bodyclock got out of whack then from that point on just slipped into a nocturnal depression hole-type-thing that I'm prone to. Once in that state I struggle terribly to find the ignition to get back on track.
As a result of the screeching halt in productivity I've been moved back down in stakes for the first week of May. It's disappointing but understandable. I barely got any volume at the higher stake games.
This blip is something that used to happen when I was a grinder a few years ago. I'd work really hard, go out and get ****ed up to celebrate and then slip into a depression and essentially undo a bunch of hard work and progress. Maybe I had just forgotten how I am, or maybe I just overestimated the progress I'd made since back then, but clearly I'm not the sort of person who can afford to go wild. Moving forwards I'll remember this episode and ensure it doesn't happen again.

April Review
Basically failed all the goals I set including keeping track of everything but I suppose in the spirit of a positive start to May I'll list some things I'm proud of.
- I ate super clean and healthy for the first half of the month, lots of organic veg (I get a box delivered weekly), lots of good meat and fats, fairly low carbs and very little processed carbs.
- I meditated for approximately 200 minutes in total in the first half of the month. Looking to pick up this habit again.
- I spent well over 6 hours of recorded learning the keyboard (prob closer to 10 overall) and made a real breakthrough on one of the songs. It was the first time left and right hand parts were essentially separate entities. All other songs I've learnt so far, left hand notes are played at the same time as right hand, on this song (The Entertainer) the left hand is basically a bed for the right hand to lie on and I spent a bunch of sessions and several hours banging my head against a wall trying to play it right, but now I'm very competent and feel like I've smashed through a plateau.
- I worked out 14 times (squash, weights, jogging), made clear improvements to my squash game and started running again for the first time in at least a year.
- I made clear improvements to my poker game and made a little bit of money, enough to keep the wolf at bay for a short while longer. Although I'm overall unhappy with my volume and general efforts in the last half of the month, if I can recreate the efforts from first half over the entirety of May then I won't go far wrong.
