2016: Cracking down on tilt and moving up in life 2016: Cracking down on tilt and moving up in life

Hi there guys and girls,

24yo German guy here. I finished my bachelors degree last summer and am currently doing an internship at one of the large car manufacturers of the GERMANNZZ country, nothing to do with diesel here though.
I started to play poker when I was about 14 or 15, deposited here and there and obviously lost it all due to....well i was fkn 15 what do you expect.
Took things a bit more serious turning 18 and actually made some money, but the monkeytilt got the best of after a while every time I tried to move up and play better. Played some live poker during my studies, so overall I'm probably up a few k over the course of my poker "career". I do not want to calculate my hourly though as it would most likely be <$1 and the time+nerves wasted tilting hard could definitly have been spent better

My goals for 2016 are pretty straightforward I think:
  1. Start my M.Sc. in September --> Finally get my ass up to apply and write those damn motivation letters

  2. Going to the gym 3 times a week on average with the occasional squash session in between --> get fit and bulk up to 80kg, currently standing at 75 with a bit too much fat at 1,83m (6'0" for all you weirdos )

  3. Get a nice second internship on my CV before starting uni again, favourably some consulting or start-up stuff

    and obviously

  4. Play my best poker, improve and do not tilt. Currently reading Tommy Angelo and "The Mental Game of Poker" and think that there is some very helpful stuff in those.

I am going to start out with a $350 bankroll, playing a max of 2 tables Nl10z to begin with and go from there.

I will probably not always update progress in all of my goal-departments and spice this thread with some random thoughts/pics/songs whatever, but we will see where this is going

GL to you all at the tables and a very happy 2016
