I released the first episode of a new faith based anime review show titled ChAnime. This was a fun learning experiences, one in which I faced a lot of frustrations. The process of trying to put it together into something I felt was presentable got infuriating at times. I even went over things so many times I started to think I hated everything about it.
After making an outline that I finally felt worked, I made some references slides, spoke to them, revised them repeatedly, and finally found what works for me. The outline was helpful, yet barely resembled the final output. I missed a number of deadlines, worked a week straight, and now I am addicted. This was incredibly fun and hope to put this much effort into everything I do.
I am not yet happy with my ability to deliver the level of quality I wish to reach, be it in my speech delivery to an imaginary audience, or the final video output. Regardless I am happy both for the new work ethic, and the progress this video represents. Chanime S01-E01
Beyond all this I am in Texas learning new skills and perusing new opportunities. Most important I am in a friendly race with my cousin toward progress. The first check point will be to beat him to a million dollars a year, not for materialistic reasons, but rather as way to support myself to implement the changes that I wish to see in the world. (Note that his goal is $100,000 to start and I hope to be first to that as well.)
I am not saying the money is not nice, or that I won't enjoy it. Just that it is not the goal in and of itself. When it comes to a choice between morals and short term profits, my morals will always win. I am still working on my book, it is coming along fantastically by the way, and I have actually thrown out the vast majority of the first draft in order to rewrite it. This is not to say the first copy was not valuable, because it was. From it I learned what was working and what was not. I love life and am finally moving forward, so if you want to support this consider watching and sharing my anime review ChAnime S01-E01

Accountability Check Update
Lets start with my failures and partial successes from my previous accountability check.
1. The first is that I have not found a single person with whom to share accountability and goals, likely do to me not putting enough effort in this direction.
2. I completely neglect to complete video content which was only partially a result of my unexpected move.
3. I have laid out how I am going to track my finances but have not put it into use yet
4. I have made progress on overall health and energy even though exercise is a little inconsistent.
5. I have a few job leads in my current location, however was also informed of a possible opportunity in Texas, the place in which I planned to move to in the next year or two anyway.
6. I have reduced my overall time spent watching anime and playing games, however time allocation is still needed tweaked for consistency
As for definitive steps forward I have a few clear successes in this area as well, even if some of these where not on my original list.
1. I have found a time management and tracking strategy, that while still being tweaked, works as expected
2. I will be completing my primary workstation by the end of this week (Just waiting for final parts.)
3. I have remained mostly on schedule towards finishing my first non fiction book laying out my philosophies, goals and overall company goals. (This is the most consistent I have been on a long term project to date)
4. I have vastly improved my linux system administration skills.
And finally for my goals for the next 3 month
1. Implement accounting plan for personal finances by end of December
2. Finish first draft of book by middle of January (at latest)
3. Reduce idle time to 2 or 3 days ever other week
4.Complete at least one video for YouTube channel
5. Sort out detail of next move
