Goal setting and MTTs

Wassup guys .. I have’nt updated for a long time. Mainly because I have’nt been doing anything worthwhile mentioning apart from grinding DON sngs. It’s been going good. Just standard stuff. With the traffic getting worse everyday, and 10$+ the games hardly run. So I have been adding some 5$ stakes along with 10$s to get decent volume. Found out the 5$s to be a waste of time.
I also started playing the 10$s and 20$s on 888 and have been running really bad there.
Graph for 888 DONs :

+2k$ in rakeback from merge.

It’s so boring grinding these DONs and I want to switch to MTTs completely. With PGMP3 getting postponed, I don’t know when I’m gonna switch. I tried a few MTTs on stars and have found out that the non-turbo MTTs with ~1k for 1st place to be pretty soft.
I’m gonna add those to my daily grind along with DONs and try to play them everyday.

I have been just mindlessly grinding these days and as a result both my volume and ROI has
not been that great. So I have decided to set goals, break them down to smaller goals and start working towards it. Goal setting is a very important part of being on the grind. It motivates you and keeps you going day after day through the struggles.

My goals are going to focus on 2 things, health and poker. These are my 2 clear focuses throughout the rest of the year. I have always tried setting goals, but have struggled to stick to them or keep good records to track my progress. Maybe more important then setting goals,
is setting reasons on why you have the goals. For me this is simple this time.
All my poker goals revolve around one thing, Making Money. I want to make money, move up in stakes and start playing live MTTs around the world.

Short term goal for the rest of the year is to quit DONs completely , switch to MTTs and move to goa and start playing live MTTs , PG tour, build a live roll and start playing MTTs in macau and other places by next year. I hope to accomplish this by the end of this year.

Health goals is to eat healthy food and sleep for 7hrs/day everyday at the same time. I have joined a gym and will workout thrice every week. I really think with a healthy body and mind, I can accomplish more in poker faster.

Good luck at the tables.
