How to live a productive and meaningful life by kodoninja 2 months ago | SelfImprovement |  (#productivity #study #music #alonetime)
000 How to live a productive and meaningful life
Are you a productive person? No, not really... Well, Me Too. But somehow I manage to get some things done. Outside looking in you’d think I’m a very organized, meaningful, and productive person. Well, I am, and I’m not. K-O-D-O-N-I-N-J-A, this doesn’t make any sense. Well yes, it does. Let me know if this resonates with you. I procrastinate a lot. But somehow I manage to get a lot of work packed in when I do manage to get things done. I get distracted fairly easily, and when I get distracted I'm gone down that rabbit hole for hours to days. But when I do manage to get things done, it's like I made up for all the time wasted. CRAZY... I know. And despite this, I live a fairly meaningful life even though every day I feel like I've gotten nothing done. This past two weeks I’ve spit out more updates, and content to the platform than I’ve managed to do since I started the platform. What's meaningful? Now If I can get this type of work done every day. I’d be a much happier person. So herein lies the question. “How to live a productive and meaningful life” To answer this question we must first outline what brings meaning to our life. So what is it? What brings meaning to your life? Okay… So what makes you happy in life? This means this is a purpose or goal you are aiming towards that makes you truly happy. A guiding light. A north star you see every day that guides you on your purpose. Now run to your nearest window and look outside up into the sky, you see that ⭐?  That’s your dream. This is something that you should be getting closer to reaching each day. Now if you're seeing that goal in the sky. Seek BetterHelp. This is for metaphorical purposes only… Moving on... I created an outline in ! These are a list of things that bring meaning to my life. I also have a FREE outline I created which helps yu find meaning and purpose. You can find this on the downloads page. Check it out below. Much more downloads on this topic on the way. is now and has been my go-to everything planning app for over a year now. So much so that I forget I have other apps installed. https://zapier.com/blog/best-productivity-apps/ I love planning out my life. I cherish the feeling of accomplishing things in my life no matter how minor they may be. This is the secret to my productivity. This app! I’ve also used paper, planners, Google Keep, Evernote, Onenote, and simple code editors. We’ll circle back to this in a bit https://hive.com/blog/productivity-apps/ .__39a { background: #fff6ff; border: 1px solid purple; padding: 10px; } .__39b { background-color: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } .__39b ol li, .__39b ul li { line-height: 30px; } video { width: 100%; height: auto; } sup { color: darkred; } em { font-size: 24px; font-weight: 900; } Bonus note no one asked for.  I will be creating and developing my SIMPLE note-taking app “kodobook”. This app will link everything in my download page, and function a lot like , which I’ll also be creating my own reusable written/digital “kodobook v2”… Moving on… MORE ON THIS LATER  The main 10 things on my list that bring meaning to my life in order: The kodoverse (6+ platforms/apps)  (Learning-Developing) Code/ Tech/ Computers Film/ movies Health & Fitness/ MMA/ Biking Writing/ Reading Trading/ Investing Music / Instruments  Anime Being Alone, tranquility  Minimalism  These are my top 10 outlined points that create my meaningful life. What were your top 10 essential things on your list? Oh wow… You have quite a bit… And oh... You over there reading, it's okay. You just need to take the time to think of all the things that bring you joy in your life. ... My north star is my number 1 item. And it represents all the elements of myself. And when I have kids, it will still be my #1. You may have a person or a family listed as your number one. That’s perfectly fine. For me most of the things listed on the list will feed my legacy for generations. Thus they need to remain my top priority in life, and people will come after. It’s not to say they aren’t important. They are. I just don’t live for others… I think about it this way; Whomever I end with will be grateful I kept them by my side while focusing on the top meaning in my life… These things keep me happy, grounded, and functioning perfectly. If I kept a person as my number 1 priority, the kodoverse wouldn’t be a top priority. Similar individuals such as Steve Jobs were completely devoted to Apple. His legacy (his craft) brought meaningfulness to his life no matter how it treated him. It even came before his children. The same went for Elon Musk and other great gladiators throughout history. For some there, kids and family were a driving force that kept them focused…. All subjective… We are all different… The things in my life revolve around productivity. It’s no surprise all I produce is productive in nature. Producing results brings me joy… When I fall off the productive route I feel incomplete. When a companion becomes my pure focus I fall off. It needs to be a pure ecosystem and balance if I were to include someone else.  We all have different goals in life. If you're a kodoninja, you may have found more similarities on my list as opposed to those that aren't regular to the platform.  ... … This is the king of productivity apps. If you use a different app please let me know in the comment section below. I use , by having everything planned out through various pages and lists. These things are: Any random thoughts that pop into my head Any additions that need to be added to my (short-mid-long) term goals Things that need to be added to my to-do-list A list of anime and the last episode and season I left off. Updates, fixes, and tweaks, to the platforms Any and everything I try to keep logged in . I’ll also try to organize as much as possible. I’ve always loved how robust and simple this app's layout is. It is highly recommended by me.  Keeping notes and a log of what you need to do, will keep you productive no matter how interesting or simple your task may be. Check out the download page for FREE documents that’ll help you stay organized and productive. PAID content is on the way…  This will keep you on track… I am living a fairly productive and meaningful life. I’m happy I am seeing the number one focus in my life become more and more developed as more content and updates flood the platform. I’ve dedicated my life to my work. With the help of tools in apps such as , and by using . It has helped me tremendously. Take a look at some of the notes I’ve taken in my custom . Also, take a look at some of the notes I’ve taken in my dead tree format. As you can see my notes are vast and range from scripts for YouTube, and article posting to updates and code pushes to the kodoverse platforms. Conclusion The awesome factor (isolation/multitasking) If you're having trouble staying productive try to isolate yourself from distractions. As in going to a library, a park, or a quiet place. It helps if you live alone or have a room. Use a pair of headphones, noise isolating is preferred to keep yourself zoned in. Or… Implement distractions while you work. Check out the picture below.  At this very second of writing this article I’m simultaneously watching “Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Complete Series” I do this with YouTube, other anime, movies, and even other articles or books that will read at the same time writing or coding… I have mountains of digital books that I read while I code or write and a collection of movies along with streaming…  The way I see it if your gonna be lazy. Which I am. Why not get shit done at the same time. I’ll even listen to music or audiobooks while I work as well… 📝 Now, this takes some practice to master effectively. I think I’ll write an article and later a book on how I’ve managed to do this for years. ... Since I am a minimalist I only keep the essential things in my life. Other than the clothes I wear Almost everything “I own” revolves around the kodoverse. Producing content for the platform is what I live for. There’s a rush of dopamine and joy every time I acquire something that helps me produce content. If a sudden rush of happiness rushes over you when you are doing something you know this activity brings meaning to your life. Let me know if this article helped you in any way. In addition, let me know in the content section below if you decided to download any of the free content from kodoninja.com’s download page. THANK YOU.

It’s okay to be selfish by kodoninja 2 years ago | SelfImprovement |  (# Self-Improvement #selfish #friends)
000 It’s okay to be selfish
Is being selfish all that bad? I say yes and no. If you have a genuine goal and focus in your life. I say fuck it! Be selfish to your heart contends. Why you may ask? Because you're focused. You simply have no time for BS, doing favors for others who may or may not value your time.Time is so finite, it comes and goes before you know it. One moment you're in high school or college with a dream. A few sidetracks later you're in your 30’s or 40’s scrambling to get your goals and dreams accomplished. This is how a midlife crisis happens. Time has passed trying to find yourself, having fun with friends. Working a job you mildly enjoy, not giving it your all, fearing failure, fearing not being good enough, helping others for whatever reason, and so on. Life has passed you by. But it's not too late, to separate yourself, focus and be selfish.It’s your life you live it how you want when you want. I get that. Who am I to tell you what you should do with your life. But meet me halfway. Ask yourself do or did you ever have goals and dreams? Now ask yourself are you accomplishing these goals and dreams? Are you where you want to be in life?Now if you're not working towards these goals. What are you doing? What happened? I bet during your journey throughout life you may have been a little more selfless than you needed to be. Either that or procrastination has a big part of this. For me, it’s both of these. Even though I have many things accomplished in my life. I still feel like I haven’t accomplished anything yet.If only I was a little more selfish throughout my journey. I’d be much closer to where I want to be. I’d be that glorified software engineer. Decorated with 4+ degrees and 20+ certifications and certificates. Id also has mountains of apps, websites, and software for download. Online courses, books, a thriving business, and YouTube. If only I’d just said no or maybe refer them to someone that has the time to help them. Throughout my life, I’ve helped people and have gotten nothing in return. I even take the time to help those that knowingly hate me and very publicly tried to stab me in the back.I’m sure there are many of you out there that has done the same thing. Honestly, it feels right for me to help others but not like this. As I said above time is finite. So I’ll just be helping people indirectly from here on out. I’m making myself a ghost, impossible to get a hold of. If they do get a hold of me I simply say no, or I can’t with no explanation.I’ll have many things online including this platform that can help them. Wanna learn to trade or improve your coding, try kodotrading. Want to get fit kodofitness; want to overall improve yourself kodoninja and so on. Everything will be carefully researched planned, written, and filmed. My time is valuable. I’ll charge a premium for my services outside my various free and paid materials. Because in actuality I’d rather be improving and creating content that can help countless people at one time. That's mutualism, the best thing for everyone.I’m sure if you were a little more selfish in life you would have that dream job by now. Or in general, you would at least know you put everything into your goals and got the most out of what you wanted to do. If you stop to take care of everyone's needs before yours; you’ll always fall short of who you are and who you want to be. It’s never too late to isolate yourself, leave those needy “friends”, family and others behind that are using you. Forget everything and everyone else and focus on who you're meant to be.

Benefits of being single by kodoninja 3 years ago | dating |  (#single #sex #love #dating #fling #self-improvement #time)
000 Benefits of being single
Let me start by saying; this will be from a man's point of view. However, the ladies can learn from this as well. Whatever your into trust me it works. Here are 5 simple reasons why being single can be quite beneficial. READ TO THE END! 1. Time: Time is the greatest gift from mankind more so than Money, Sex, & Fame. And you shouldn't be wasting any of it. Our time here on earth is very short; tomorrow’s not promised to us, YOLO. So now we have more time to make shit happen. Get fit, read, focus on yourself, spend time with your friends, casually date, explore the planet, go camping, write a book, fuck a friend lol, go clubbing, learn new skills, get an online degree, build a computer… You name it but just don’t waste it. Let’s be honest no one needs anyone they’re billions of girls on this rock no one is special when it's all simplified. Manage your time a lot more wisely now that your single, I’m confident you’ll find another. 2. Productivity: This has turned out to be my favorite from the 5 other than #5. It’s as simple as it reads. You have way more time now; so be productive. If you had plans to build an app, well here's your chance. Build an empire, well nothing’s stopping you. Research, plan, develop, make money, file, etc. Just do it. Not distracted with your girl anymore no excuse. You can allocate your time wisely to get a wide variety of things done. Wanna learn trading, editing, or even how to do a backflip. Just plan it right and do it.   3. Growth: Whether it was mutual, a rough breakup, divorce, a break or maybe you're an Incel. You can take this time to reflect and grow. Make your self better inside and out. Read a few improvement books, watch healthy You-Tube (redpil), study human nature, and learn. Get even hotter women by building up your charterer, importance & body. Get on your grind no women should ever come before your dreams and goals. They'll always be #1. You wanna be the tech mogul, that bodybuilder, that whatever. It is #1. You can’t grow while your chasing someone, you can’t evolve by settling for what you have and what you can get. Always think bigger and better. Then go for it truly become the greatest evolution of yourself. The right one will come to you don’t go looking for her. 4. Freedom: Congratulations your single and free. No nagging girl complaining about nothing, no dates to remember, no trying to prove to her or anyone... Anything can be done just as you intended it to be without the input of anyone incredibly stuck to you. Your FREE so enjoy it.  5. More sex: At this point, you have the time. You’ve developed a mission to be more productive. Those goals you held off because of her now you're getting it done. You can grow, learn new things, talents, hit the gym get an 8 pack, your free to do whatever. And you're not attached. Studies show that single status is the ultimate gateway to more sex. Just ask any frequent club or party hopper. Makes sense, less or no feelings, you can date on rotation, hookup, on to the next… All sounds good; sex lasts roughly last a few hours, and you can quickly get back to your goals. But..., be smart this can do way more harm than good if done carelessly. Hoping from person to person, club to club, work, friends, new meets, acquaintances... This all takes a lot of time; remember "time", your goals, get in that millionaire mindset. Don't waste your time getting laid; be more productive to improve and grow on every level. For me, I like to focus 95% of my time on strictly me, my goals, and my dreams. I like to constantly improve myself. If you're going to have way more sex than I recommend, cough, hear me out… Find someone in tune, and in “love” with you; or at least likes & respects you. Someone you can casually date. Maybe throw in a few relationship benefits. But don’t let it turn into a relationship at least not yet. Make sure she’s focused on her own goals, getting her own money, building herself up as well. Having the same 80% - 95% mentality as you do. You guys just do the ? 5% ? together, SEX, hookups, light dating hanging out, etc. Then back to the millionaire habit grind. That’s right cough… My solution to being the best singe version of yourself is to do it in a “casual dating relationship”  lol. I hope this makes sense to everyone.

Never date a girl posting provocative selfies by kodoninja 3 years ago | Living |  (#dating #girls #time)
000 Never date a girl posting provocative selfies
All-day she's posting on Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and just about any other hoe enabled platform. And no shes not posting anything of value. Just empty promiscuous bullshit with her wearing “sexy” clothes and a dumb-ass pose. So I’ll break this down to 5 simple reasons why you should never touch or entertain these types. This only goes for 90% of the social media population so if the shoe fits I apologize in advance. Trigger warning: There are some women out there who are talented, with multiple things going on for themselves; Intelligent, independent, hard-working, and successful. This isn’t for the go-getter, the strong morals and goal-oriented women. As for the rest of you know who you are and you fit the description. 1. They aren’t special Seriously they aren’t special. There are over3.6 Billion women on the planet some of which have talent, unique and provide value to themselves and society. Respect for the real women that still exist today. Real women aren’t on Instagram all day posting photos of themselves. Most of the girls today believe there special from Millions of others on FB, IG, SC, etc. that all do the same thing. They’re all fake, dumb, and trying to be the same Insta-hoe. If every girl is posing with the same empty bullshit written below how can they be special. Every girl is going for the same look and some do it better. Not every girl is a Kardashian, and the fakes can be seen a mile away. Every girl these days is trying to be the next Kardashian. These are the role models of today. Representing the fake culture, the heavily altered fake representation of how girls should look, act, and display themselves today. Competing for the look, social proof, most likes, biggest ass, most dramatic, smallest waist, body counts, etc. Girls can be working at McDonald's making a few bucks an hour and with the power of the bathroom mirror and their cell phone, they can now be sexy. It’s all a joke. They go to so much trouble and time trying to be someone else. Trying to be the same basic bit#* that every guy around town knows. The time that can be spent on improving themselves and their goals. They choose not to, they live for the attention like everyone else. They are to never be trusted. 2. Maybelline, Filters, and Photoshop Bruh! it ain’t real, these girls have to spend hours a day painting on their faces just to be accepted. The most average and basic girl today doesn’t need to be attractive. They just need the magical abilities of Maybelline and filters. These girls are afraid to show their actual face in public that’s why they paint one on. There are girls I’ve dated and to this day I’ve never seen how they look like. Gallons of makeup an average body and the help of some clothes suddenly every girl today thinks they're the most beautiful creature that’s ever existed. Add in some filters and a few touch-ups and suddenly they think they're a supermodel. They get a lot of likes, compliments, and comments and now they believe they're valued. They honestly believe that they’re hot shit. Forgetting the fact that they had to paint their face, filter and photoshop themselves for the attention. It’s hysterical to know that girls out today are an illusion. Most are average at best, and some aren’t even remotely in shape. Good lighting, makeup, a decent pose, and a filter and now they can fool the world that there attractive. The guys only like the photo because they like the fake attractive girl that was created not you. 3. Insecure & miserable They need attention, they need to feel like they're beautiful when deep down inside they know they aren’t. Most if not all the women are very attractive but they still need to hear it 24/7 from guys the wouldn’t give a chance to. If they stop getting the attention; they go through withdrawal and slowly die. They love the feeling of free attention from guys. Even knowing that the guys are just as much of a loser as they are. These girls are riddled with issues and false superiority complexes. Online they may look like they have it together, in person as you speak to them to sound as if they're doing ok. But deep down inside they are a disaster barely held together. Their Insecurities run rampant day to day always coming up with new poses and things to say with there attention-seeking pics. Some girls take it to the extreme getting surgery, implants and many other body modification methods for more attention. Not all can afford to do this but I bet if they had the money they’d jump at the opportunity to get it done. Twitch & YouTube are overrun with many nontalented girls gaming horribly. Their tits are out for attention speaking about nothing. Soaking up all the attention and comments they can get. Today has never been so easy for anyone to get immediate gratification from anyone anywhere anytime. No matter how your feeling you can whip out your phone post something provocative receiving all the attention you need. The problem is it’s never enough attention or DM’s for anyone. Girls get high off of it, they live to be felt great from others. But it doesn’t last very long, then they're back to feeling unwanted and depressed. 4. She’s a hoe If she’s always posting photos of herself there’s something off. Not including if she ever posts a club photo, house party, alcohol, etc. This is a major red flag. I’ll immediately cut someone off if I get the impression that this person may be a hoe. If she needs to post dozens of photos of herself a week. If she needs the likes and comments from others to boost her self-esteem; that’s my cue to cut her off. If I’m already following and are “friends” with this person I stop communicating with the person. For me, I take the time to remove any trace I ever communicated with them. Any likes, comments, messages all gone all deleted. I’d never delete or block the person, I’ll just wait for that person or manipulate them to delete me. I’d suggest you’d do the same these girls will all end the same, and never be thereafter she gets bored of being a hoe. NEVER let this person into your life. Remember there are Billions of other women to be with. If you feel It in your gut it's true. Attention whores are even worse, don’t be like the rest of the morons validating these worthless girls. Following them around, agreeing with every full retard statement she says. They don’t like you they like the attention. Dozens of men hit on these types because they are the easiest to f@ck. In most cases this is true. Girls like this always put themselves on display sometimes for attention. But most often looking for the right guy to hook up with. The photos are to show the guy she wants that she’s sexy. Those guys you rarely see liking their photos. And if she has a boyfriend or husband and still putting herself on display. RUN. Stay far away, shes a hoe. She’s posting these single ladies' photos for a reason. I know this because I went through a few like this. Girls with boyfriends looking for guys to have fun with. Even if it's only a few pics I’d still cut them off, I date the ones with very little to no social media presence. 5. Talent-less & worthless They have nothing going on for themselves but for their job. Take away their appearance, Instagram and other accounts what do they have to offer? Now for the attractive women; remove their accounts. what do they have going on for themselves? Nothing, absolutely nothing. It’s the sad truth that guys often forget. Why would anyone who has things going on for themselves be on social media all day? The girls working hourly jobs with no real plans for success are 9 out 10 times worthless. But on social media there mini-celebrities wannabe Instagram models. In there head they have so much going on for themselves. I applaud the ones who make a career from social media pics. At least they learned to apply it. For the rest, they often forget the fact they flip Krabby patties for a living. They forget they can barely afford rent, car payments, insurance, in debt, bill steady pilling. But they’re on social media daily, seeking any attention they can get. Their life revolves around swiping there card, painting there face for attention and a few moments of fame. These are the ones that are usually confused as to why they're still where they are in life 5, 10 years later. Never taking the time to explore their talents and perfect there skills if they have any. They're worthless, they’ll be there months, and years from now still posting photos; seeking any attention they can get. What's funny is that even though they have nothing going on. There’s never a shortage of low-value guys slipping in there DM’s, commenting, and liking their photos. These guys are even worse and I cut them off as well. I cut all that shit off there extremely unproductive in life.

Figuring out who you are (book coming 2021) by kodoninja 3 years ago | Lifestyle |  (#yourself #lifestyle)
000 Figuring out who you are (book coming 2021)
The majority of the population today don’t even know themselves. I bet this sounds strange to you, if it does your probably one of these very people. It’s okay I was one myself; doing things society wants me to do. I was a collection of everyone and everything around me. What they liked I typically liked and this became a plethora of issues as I got older. I didn’t know or understand who I was. I put together a list of 5 things I’ve narrowed down to explain the main complications and causes that arise when you aren’t you. This isn’t to offend anyone but, these traits typically fall under females. They're more agreeable and malleable. They tend to keep the peace and follow the behavior and logic of there surroundings. If you were to look at there friends; 9 out of 10 times they are just like her. Or her desperately trying to be like them. All sharing the same thoughts, beliefs, opinions, and interests. A hive mind unwilling to share their thoughts and opinions. They may even need the opinion of there friends to make a simple decision. They may even dress, look, and act the same. If there are feminist around you, your more likely to be one; Or agree with the beliefs. If you really into fitness, as so are your friends. Into MMA, computers, swimming, and so on your friends are typically the same. Are trying to be the same. You may be unaware that these aren’t your interest. These became your interest because people around you were interested in these things. Males and females unsure of there purpose in life tend to cling to there surroundings; often molded by them. They may pick a career path chosen by their family, friends, emotions, or outside influences. Which may lead to changing there career, or major constantly. Maybe even graduating to end up at a job unrelated to their degree. All to find out later on in life this isn’t what they wanted to do, and settled. 1. You are the product of your environment. If your around gossiping hens, complainers, entitled, and ungrateful individuals; That are unwilling to think for themselves, then you’ll become just like them. Bad neighborhoods and persons who haven’t accomplished anything real in life. You often become like them. See the pattern? Put yourself around the greatest minds, influences, influential books/articles, entrepreneurs, dreamers, square pegs, and visionaries. You’ll become like them. 2. Your “friends” define you. You aren’t an individual, you're a member of a group of individuals that all share the same brain. You don’t decide what to do that weekend your friends do. Your friends are at the center of every decision you make or do. If your friends are party animals you are as well. They like what you like, you like what they like. You agree with whatever they do or say no questions asked. Anything from politics to going out to eat. 3. Your purpose is to fit in. Your life revolves around the opinion of others. You modify and adjust your life, feelings, emotions, beliefs, thoughts, and opinions accordingly to others. Why do you want to be liked by everyone? Why do you want to be another sheep? Just to fit in. Who cares what others think. Who cares about what they want. Stop trying to be like someone else, be yourself. 4. You just want to be apart of something. Most people don’t know who they are, lacking a true purpose in life. Thus they cling to the notion of being apart of something bigger. Having nothing of your own motivates that individual to join a group, club, or movement to feel special, and have meaning in life. You may want to create something of your own to be apart of. Being apart of someone else's goals, dreams, and philosophies will stop your ability to grow. 5. Your concerned about people you don’t know. What people think about you doesn't matter. Why should it matter to you? You are changing who you are just to fit in. To be in the good graces of those who otherwise wouldn’t like you. They only like you if you agree and side with them. Never understood the obsession with wanted to be liked by those you don’t know. Focus on your self. 9 times out of 10 those individuals cannot help you succeed and grow in life. You won't know who they are 5 years from now. Your friends should grow with you and accept you for who you are. The issue Don’t put up with anyone's indoctrination and nonsense. Nobody’s going to respect anyone who just goes along with what everyone does or says. You ever notice at your job your boss or even coworker often tells you what to do? They do this because it’s expected for you to do what you are told. As to that’s the ideology of life and a job. Be like everyone else, and don’t stand out. The ones that are the best sheep and follow directions the best; get rewarded or promoted. Those that don’t often stay in the same place lose their job. Society programs individuals to be like sheep, or else “bad things happen”. Not complying with their standards, get you corrected by threats or even by force. We go along with it. You're bosses don’t respect you. 99.9% of the time they don’t like are give a f$*k about you just like the “friends” you model your life behind. Yet you take orders and follow blindly behind them. You aren’t you, you are what others say you should be. Society loves to beat that into individuals. Misbehave, don’t comply; get corrected. From tv to the law and school system. Everything is created to mold good little people (sheep). IGNORE IT ALL, UNLEARN EVERYTHING. Spend time alone, the true you will come to be. You may finally see you don’t like what you doing. You only do it because others around you do it. It’s fun finding out how many things you don’t actually like, just by detaching. Society, the environment, and your friends are the reasons why you are who you are. My Story, Conclusion I am a product of my environment and past friendships. I can honestly admit that I am a collection of my surroundings and outside influences. Some things have become who I am. This is not always a bad thing. Growing up I came from an aggressive and toxic environment. And for a large portion of my life, I was one. Around a mother who whined and complained unable to sustain her own life; I became the same. Not knowing I was absorbing my surroundings. As I moved towards an academic orientated environment I became a product of that environment. I was surrounded by computers, fitness, entrepreneurship, and anime so I became further indulged. I met friends into fitness, MMA, weight lifting…, and I followed suit. Luckily I was able to think for myself and mold myself to my own will. I unknowingly rejected anything that didn’t feel right. I was punished greatly for not following along and behaving like everyone else. I had a tough time being a sheep. Didn’t want to go to school many times because they were trying to force me to be something unnatural. I just wanted to learn and not be conditioned. My mother hated me because I was difficult and couldn’t behave as society told her I should behave.  As I spent more time alone distancing myself from anyone, everyone, and everything. I found out who I was. Yes, I was a bad kid, but I was also very intelligent, filled with dreams, and refusing to conform to anyone. I lashed out on anyone trying to adjust me. I was bad because I was different, no one knew how to handle me, nothing worked. Thus they tried to punish, group, and label me. I figured out the harsh realities of what I was taught. Rejecting all the remaining feminine behavior that was forced onto me.  Being alone I understood who I was! A rebel; a very aggressive and outspoken lion that loves to take a risk, ruffle feathers, and walk my path. I was always problematic to those who tried to make me something else, even my “friends”. Thus I always had difficulty keeping and making friends. I understood my past mistakes, and who I truly wanted to be and not what society wanted me to be. The job and career environment doesn’t work for me. Too much freedom, personal success, and personal opinions Are what scares others. I wasn’t made to be told what to do, how to behave, and how to think. I was made to succeed. The point being is to figure out who you are. Use the steps I outlined and my personal story as motivation to find out who you are. Distance yourself from society and do what feels right to you. Who knows that 9-5 culture, gossip life, and mundane repetitive living may not be for you; just as I figured out. Take a real hard look at your life. Go through the motions, and see if that's your life, or the life an outside influence or environment created for you. Ask yourself: Who you are?  Who is destined to be? What are your goals in life? Are you accomplishing these goals? Is this your life? Is this the life your family wanted for you? Is this life your friends wanted for you? Are you truly happy? Are you fulfilled in life? Is that person your with who you want? Are you settling? Did your friends pick and approve of who your dating? Do you like your life? If you struggling with any of these questions your more than likely a drone. A product of someone else’s wants, beliefs, dreams, likes, and dislikes. You are no one, a sheep among billions. You don’t stand out. You are your friends, and you are a product of your environment. A useless nobody who can’t even think for themselves. Try being different. Try to go against the status quo. Be someone or something different, or just be you. Be the real you, and NOPE you have no idea who the real you are.  You agree with everything and anything told to you. You just BELIEVE without question, no facts no problem. If your friends are Liberal or vice versa then you blindly go with it, not knowing why. Possessed by emotions and someone else's narrative. Why do you even need to be political? Because society mandates it. Why do you need to work a job? Because society mandates it. Why do you need to get married? Because society mandates it. The list goes on and on. Afraid to be the real you, afraid to speak out, disagree.  No values, no purpose. Please find your purpose in life. Getaway as mentioned and figure everything out. You might be working a job anyone can do with a bit of time, training, and practice. Forgetting you have a degree in something like chemical engineering. A true passion. Something very few can do; something that takes a while to master and comprehend. You have that degree for a reason, right? You tried to find a job, was unsuccessful and now you working a bullshit management job, or even a job that doesn’t even require a degree. For what? Why just give up? Why did you even get that degree in the first place? Eons of questions, and eons of bullshit excuses and beyond responses as to why you are who you are in life... BOOK COMING 2021

Is change & self-improvement all that bad? by kodoninja 2 years ago | SelfImprovement |  (#self-improvement #change)
000 Is change & self-improvement all that bad?
Why does modern society fear change so much? Today some are taught we are perfect just the way we are; That everyone should accept the way we are no matter what. Doesn’t matter how we look, our health condition, how competent we are, you name it we should just accept and reject any form of improvement whatsoever. So I revisit the question why does modern society fear change so much? To answer this question I’m unsure. If you ask anyone who has adopted this ideology they wouldn’t have a clear reason either, only bouts of fear, animosity, rage, and anger. Their resting response would be something along the lines of I’m perfect the way I am, stop trying to change me. If you believe your perfect the way you are. I believe this article may be uneasy for you to read. I’m just human and this is my opinion on the matter. Not meant to offend anyone, just to offer a different insight. If you humor me I think I can offer some insightful logic. In the earlier periods; humans who didn’t improve by learning to fight, hunt, swim, or survive died. Others couldn’t carry their weight for them they were left to die. Women would attach themselves to the strongest, fittest, and smartest. So they could survive, and make healthy strong offspring. There have been variations of this throughout millennia to today. Today our food is caught, hunted, prepared, and available to anyone via markets. We have local authorities, and militia to do most of our protecting for us. The government, family, and friends do our thinking for us. The government can also provide any finical assistance that’s needed. Free healthcare, free education, and libraries, everything is provided for adequate living. With everything provided to the modern person, why do we need to improve? Hell if your obese, weak, broke, bitter, spiteful, short, unattractive, unemployed, uneducated, unhealthy, cowardly, and so on. There are dozens of like-minded individual that will agree, follow, love, and be attracted to you. With all that said I can almost justify the logic for not needing to change or improve. After all, there’s someone always out there like you. Here are a few scenarios today that require a change to survive. You’ve become unhealthy in some shape or form Now you must adjust your eating or drinking habits. Or you may have to work out to get back to a healthy shape. You in need of more income for bills, food, etc. (handouts is not an option) You must get another job; with current skills Obtain new skills by going back to school, getting certifications, a trait, etc. Ironically these types depend on those that have embraced change. Those in the military protecting the country, had to change to become the greatest, and strongest to protect everyone. The first responders, police, doctors, veterinarians, farmers, engineers, and countless others all had to adopt change, improve and acquire new skills that others depend on. The handouts received by the government are all from those who work and pay taxes. They’ll also look up to celebrities who embraced changed to become that public figure. They’ll even vote for a president with the campaign of change. There are dozens of heroes throughout history that fought for their rights refusing to keep things the way they are  Change is a choice it's not a requirement. After all. I’ve given ample amounts of reasons as to why you shouldn’t change. Change is scary. Improving is almost like your going away from who you are. More importantly effort, perseverance, and skill frighten us all. We’ve gotten so used to being lazy clinging to who we believe we are. We reject change at all costs. The choices and decisions we make today define who we are tomorrow. You stop learning at college now getting that dream job requires you to constantly be improving. Bettering your skills and learning new content in your spare time. Not to mention they prefer the individual with the extended education. Those that actively peruse what's required as a hobby. Hiding out your years at a job anyone can do won't cut it. Success doesn’t fall out of the sky for the lazy and unmotivated. That dream guy or girl will forever remain a dream. Because anyone who has ever succeeded at anything doesn’t want a fat, lazy, slob who runs away from improvement. Success will likely never reach those who don’t want to improve. But regardless of what you do or how you feel. Hopefully, you don’t end up like those that hate and despise others that go 110% at the gym. As well as those who read 20+ books a month, write their books, and pursue higher educations. For people like myself I give it my all, I work very hard to have the body I have. Including creating apps, and platforms, for various other businesses. This list goes on. Don’t despise those that do everything in their power to become the greatest version of themselves. Or expect them to be your lifeline, they cant be successful for you. The safe space that’s keeping you from change is ultimately destroying you. It keeps you weak, poor dumb, compliant, and depending on others. Anyone who revokes change is destined to fade away becoming a distant shadow of those who became someone. No one ever remembers the people that didn’t try. They get left behind with all the other losses. It was your choice to run from opportunities; To pick apart the idea of self-improvement. Now the only persons that can relate to you are also those that’ll never accomplish anything. The takeaway, it’s not too late for change. Start slow if you do decide to. Try I minor improvement seeing how it feels. But put some effort into it don’t give up. Let me know how it goes, if a change isn’t for you you can always remain the same.

8 Signs People Are Wasting Your Time by kodoninja 2 years ago | SelfImprovement |  (#time #people #friends)
000 8 Signs People Are Wasting Your Time
It almost seems like every person I come in contact with wastes my time. People who you think are your friends do not feel the same way. In most cases you can see the red flags, they’ll even tell you. “I don’t want to waste your time” Admitting their silly nature, preparing you for the upcoming bullshit. Run for the hills! In other cases they’ll hide it, cloaking their true nature and intentions. These are troubled, deranged individuals who lack purpose in life. They may even be someone close to you. In any case, let us travel through our 8 signs people are gonna wasting your time. They take, but never give The next person asking you for something, ask yourself. What have they done for me? Are they trying to get more out of a relationship than they put in? Have they even done anything for you? The majority of people are just trying to use you and waste your time. They’ll avoid any real interaction where they have to put in the same. They never had any intention of being equal with you. Here are a few noticeable circumstances and questions to consider. Do you always pay for food? Do you always pay in general? Are you doing most or all the work? They give excuses as to why they can’t do something. Are you always motivating them to be better? They ask for everything but give nothing. Are they always asking for favors? They rarely say thank you. They just expect you to go above and beyond for them. Are they always borrowing something of yours? Did any of this hit home for you, All of which does for me. Hell! I know people who display every one of these. Just drop them! Life is too short for this. They love to ask questions You're ever truly analyze a person's questions? Oddly enough, people will ask questions with absolutely no purpose or end goal. It could even be an opinion, statement, or rhetorical question. The question could be so absurd and foolish, but they shoot their shot anyway. It could also seem pure and meaningful. But if someone is there to constantly ask questions and never act on the advice or response. They are there to waste your time. I know you’ve been there and was like WTF. What was the point of that? Why on earth would him/her ask me that. I mean, they have Google on their phone. They know they can get the question anywhere else, but they choose to bother you. Sometimes it'll be repeated questions about what you're doing?, How you're doing, and so on. Your past, your future… Just purposeless questions to elicit a response. Many of which is a nice dig to you. A malice question geared to your goals or likes. Just empty nonsense. They always have excuses You have ever been around someone that always has excuses. They have reasons why they're poor. Reasons for why they don’t want to read, learn, lose weight, etc. They have a reason and excuse for every short cumming in their life. Not everything in life warrants an excuse. At some point in life, people will have to understand what’s going wrong and fix it. Ask a person to allocate time to do a productive task with you or for themselves. See if there’s an excuse. Try to get them to do anything outside their comfort zone. Excuses and many more will follow. They don't respect your time If a person can’t get their life in order, they’ll more than likely not respect your time. Time is so finite yet some spend it trying to get it to pass quickly. If they can see you heavily involved with something good, they’ll find some way to interject and keep you from that task. They have no shame in their actions. In rare cases, others will feel your time and life are so beneath them. They’ll spare some of their to waste yours. A boss at a job anyone can do is notorious for this. They’ll have you doing a stupid task (busy work) and asking purposeless questions. They distract you from your goals You come to notice the surrounding persons often have a hidden agenda. These types of people are foolish. Thus, they are just trying to harm you, keeping you from focusing on your goals. They can see that you're doing something good. Observe the person wasting your time. You will notice a few common traits. They’re always on their phone They feel envy or jealousy towards you Your success may piss them off They spend their time hiding from work They’re always wasting time. Furthermore, they don’t like change. “Complains of people trying to change them” They cling to a 9-5 They stopped learning They gossip seemingly all the time Consuming useless TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube… videos Watching pointless TV, and movies They love to watch sports days on end They love to play games Hanging out with friends, family, etc. Engage in useless conversations and activities Everything listed above is their life. And your activities and goals are outside their scope of understandings. They don’t get why you work so hard. Your focus and determination is an act of war when all they do is let their life fly by. Thus, it's an unrelenting task to bring you down to their level, to get you to relax, take it easy, and not try so hard. They lack purpose in life These are people with no direction whatsoever in life. They perhaps have had a dream in life, but, never really pursued it. However, you, compared to themselves. Are doing much better in life. They see you’ve had success and accomplishments in life. Thus, it forces them to take a harsh look at their lives. When they do, they can see that in comparison to you, they haven’t accomplished anything. They just don’t like you They may not realize it yet, but they don’t like you. Perhaps they may have believed at some point there were similarities between you two. But come to find out your very different. You may realize they're uneasy around you. They will walk up to you, smile, talk to you, but you’ll come to notice there just trying to waste your time. They’ll often throw petty insults at you to elicit a reaction. Everything about you pisses them off. They hate you to the core. When they come around you, you can see an uncontrollable rage building up. You can feel the malice in their tone, their breathing has increased. Their words, useless questions, and targeted statements are all poised to spite and move you off-center. If they know you like something, they go out of the way to insult it. They’ll even make it painfully obvious there out to get you. In a work environment, they’ll throw you under the bus at any choice they get. They can come up with trillions of complaints about you, to mask their intentions. You may even come to them with earnest intentions, trying to help them. Or just trying to see how things are going, life is treating them, etc. During the conversation, they’ll go out of their way to once again throw shade on you. They don’t care This one can be obvious, and it often won’t be. Many times you’ll be so passionate about your topic that you may overlook the signs that someone doesn't care what you're talking about. Let's say for instance learning how to day-trade. You have a friend that knows your day trade. So that person or yourself may bring it up. The conversation, tells them they can make a full-time living with this skill. So their interest peaked. They want to make money, they don’t necessarily like trading. So you tell them it’s simple you just got to learn the basics, learn some strategies, volume, trends, patterns, blue chips, penny stocks, and so on. They don’t care, they just want the money. You’ll give them links to YouTube videos, articles, free books, and mountains of content. It’s practically walking them through step by step on how to be good at day-trading. The next week or so, you ask how’s it going with it all, they haven’t started. A month later the same and so on. It’s not you, just that they don’t care. They can’t care. They’d like the reward that comes with persons that slave hours, days on end on the material. Ones that put up their own money, risking their earnings to replace their 9-5 and so on. Again, they don’t care. They’d rather spend their time doing the common traits I listed above. Even if you were to give them everything they need, walking them through everything in person. They don’t care, they just don’t understand it nor do they want to try it. They are just wasting your time, for their true purpose is a little more malice in nature. If they don’t put forth the work, and effort to try it on their own time. Don’t give them an ounce of your time, avoid them at all costs. Conclusion In conclusion, people come in many types in the world. By now, you’ll be able to spot out a time waster a mile away. If you come across them, just understand they are who they are. Don’t judge them or help them. They have no intention of changing their malicious motives. Just be aware of their nature, and how to spot it. BONUS If you’d like. You can take my approach. Keep them seemingly close, and observe their actions. If you know they don’t like you, give them more of you. If you know their goals or dreams, motivate them to pursue them. You may even loan them tools, equipment, a book, or two, links, referrals… Make their next step to their dream easy as pie. Invite them to your overproductive world. “Be their best friend”. Give them a taste of what true hard work looks like. Show them your accomplishments, tell them they can do it too. Be the best damn motivational speaker ever. Have the greatest of intentions for them. Let them believe they can use you. Give them every reason to believe you're a sucker, just some dumb-ass they can use to get ahead in life. Then watch their hate for you multiply, as they try extremely hard to hide it. Ignore their words entirely and focus on their actions. You’ll notice they are completely adjacent to one another. Reflect some kindness to their hate. But never lose focus of your goals… When you're done, get your stuff back in some kindly fashion. Be nice. Be smart about what you loan out in the first place. Let them know about who they are, call them out about what they're up to. Be radically blunt if you must. Then turn around and be the “sucker” again, lead them on. Continue to give them the impression that they are the ones leading you on. You’ll notice they’ll avoid you like the plague; when they realize you were on to them from the very beginning. They might even make it seem like you're the evil person to others close to you. They’ll deny it, trying to see if they can still milk you for more of your time, money, resources, etc. Not only that, but they’ll truly believe you're a sucker and will keep at it, despite you calling them out. If you're lucky. When you're being nice, it’ll confuse them, and they just run away from you. But a new day means they’ll try to get you again, oddly enough. These types make it a habit of life to agitate you, spite you, and bring you down. No matter how hard they hide it, you’ll hear bouts of anger and aggression to your every being. They can’t hold it in for that long. Your existence is an insult to who they are. They feel personally attacked by everything you do and say. They just can’t handle it. Furthermore, they aren’t productive, only lazy and bitter. Even your compliments get them angry. The petty insults will increase no matter what you do. Stay calm, stay focused on the bigger picture in life. Success, focus, and tranquility is the greatest weapon for them. Misery loves company. Any other person would truly love you and will precipitate that positive energy back towards you. They’ll go above and beyond for you as well. This was just a bit of a curiosity experiment; Just to show you how malice a time-waster can be. I find joy and toying with these deranged individuals. But give it a try with a co-worker you suspect. I guarantee you’ll never let an individual like that back in your space again. If possible, just avoid them, be selfish and have yourself in the best interest. These types can be dangerous if you're unable to spot them. Good luck.

5 Reasons Why I Work Alone by kodoninja 2 years ago | SelfImprovement |  (#Self-Improvement #batman #alone)
000 5 Reasons Why I Work Alone
Like my childhood hero Batman, There are reasons why I generally work alone. You can’t deny he has an unrelenting determination towards his goals and beliefs. He may seem deranged the way he stays focused on crime-fighting. He puts in the effort to become the greatest martial artist, and detective the world has ever seen. Bruce has sacrificed his personal life, friends, and family. The only real friends he can have. Are ones just as crazy for the same beliefs? Alright, so my point in all this? I’ve become Batman! Well minus the whole billionaire playboy, cape crusader, crime-fighting, and detective thing.  It’s difficult to find my Selina Kyle or Barbara Gordon in this world of Millennials. So I work alone. It wasn’t until Batman was succeeding in his goals until the right help (friends) came into his life.  As I am right now, it’s harder to attract sidekicks to my entrepreneurial journey. So let’s get into the 5 reasons why I work alone 1. Priorities, priorities, priorities. People will not have your full attention, no matter how established you are. When you're aiming towards a goal, It is near impossible to find someone who will follow you. Someone who will allocate as much focus and determination as you do. Let’s face it, today people have dozens of priorities, and you aren’t one. For the average person, you may not realize it. But people have jobs they need to focus on. That job brings income for bills, family, and personal matters. That job can mean the world to them, regardless of the reason. There are family matters, friends, and their hobbies, and dreams they care more about. It’s selfish to bring someone onboard your pursuit. People have their own goals they’d like to accomplish. Granted, some are lacking direction in life. It’s still their life. If that life seems lackluster to you, it's a priority to them, they care more about it. Hell, today, a cellphone is the primary focus of one's life. If someone isn’t on their focus or purpose, that's not someone you'd want to work with. The trick is, they’ll find you, or you’ll seek them. Find a common goal. Jason Todd, Barbra Gordon, Damien Wayne all have a common goal that perfectly aligns with Bruce’s (Batman’s) vision. If you're a content creator with a similar vision, find the ones like you. The people walking alongside you should be a reflection of your dreams and goals. Find like-minded people along your journey. 2. Communication There’s nothing more important than having effective communication. All parties involved should be 100% in agreement in all decisions. If you make a decision, everyone agrees; then come crunch time. They’ll do something completely different from what was agreed on. They’ll say well that plan wouldn’t have worked, or this way is better for me. That’s a disaster, vent them and see the early signs before that happens. Hang out with the individuals, test them to see if they’re a good fit. Often Communicate with small projects and plans. If you can’t agree on smaller things and a smaller setting, they aren’t for you. If you agree on something. Then come to find out that person just doesn't get it. Or they don’t want to do it, just aren’t interested in you, your thoughts are what you're saying. Run for the hills! If they're also expressing concerns to others and not you. Move on. Life is too short for others to waste your time. If you do decide to address them to see what happens, and it persists, this isn’t a communication issue. It’s, and I don’t respect your time, or your dreams issue. These types of individuals aren’t worth the time and stress. Make sure there mutual respect and understanding. You have to respect each other's time, and agree that you respect each other's time. 3. Work Ethic A lot of people don’t bring anything to the table. They just want, what they can get from you. Don’t be the person doing all the work. The people you’re around you should reflect you entirely. The right people will gravitate to you and respect your work ethic. Be sure you have the same gravitational pull towards them. There should be no one trying to use or manipulate one another. Be vigilant of those that see you going places, and use that as an opportunity to tag along. You’ll be fooled by empty promises and lackluster work. They may be occasions where they may not know as much as you do. But they can assist in other areas. This is up to you. It can work, but I prefer the Batman approach. I like to have as much in common as possible. Aiming for the same dream at the same unrelenting rate. The ones that batman brings in his corner. He trusts completely. They don’t slow him down nor do they fall behind, chasing an adjacent dream leading him on. 4. Passion Imagine having a dream of becoming a big-time YouTuber. This dream, has tech reviews, day trading, investing, self-improvement, and so on. This is a very specific and complicated goal. Not too many people have this dream. Now imagine coming across another person following that same dream. Not just a talker saying there going to do it. But a person that's actively putting their work online. You two meet to share ideas, and eventually, start working and collaborating; for what is now a common goal. That’s the best-case scenario, finding a person who shares the same passion as you do. While following your dreams, you know have found the right people in your life. Have you ever tried to bring someone onboard your mission; Just to later find out they don’t care about helping you. They are more or so careful about what they can get from you during your journey. Their priorities are completely elsewhere, giving you half the attention, and a fraction of the work done. Well, this person just doesn’t have the same passion for your dream as you do. Regardless of how you may feel or what they care more about. It’s selfish to believe you can have someone give the same amount of effort and consideration as you do. I’m sure their goals aren’t film making, editing, fitness, trading, and so on. They're not going to give it much concern to learn how to edit professionally, help you film, and share ideas. Befriend others like you. Be with a dream girl or guy like you. Share the same passion. Become better at whatever that goal may be. In this scenario edit each other videos, motivate each other, give pointers, help each other film, share equipment, and so on. Just be sure you can trust them and make sure that person goes in 150% just as you do. 5. Trust There’s a lot of fake people in the world. Most of which are standing right beside you. So you need to be able to trust the ones you bring to your team. You need to trust that they can do the work Trust them to have your best interest in mind Trust them to pull their weight Trust that they can prioritize the common dream Trust that they can be dialed in and give it 150% The list can go on and on, so you need to thoroughly vent the person beforehand. I can’t tell you how many times companies and startups have invited the wrong kind of a person into their projects.  Conclusion I’m going to be a one-man army for quite some time. Furthermore, I’ve learned many skills over the years. And work extremely hard on improving what I’ve learned. Luckily what I need to be done in life I already know, and I’m very good at. There is no reason why I need someone with me. However, if I come across a Selina Kyle, or Barbra Gordan along the way. Then hell yeah, let’s work together! The benefit of this is that you can see their passion displayed through their content. You don’t have to waste time seeing whether they're serious. You two know what is needed and are both willing to make the sacrifices to get the job done. At some point, they can use me for my resources and I can use them for theirs. Mutualism. Until that time comes, I’ll remain a recluse and stick to my 5 reasons for working alone.

This may in turn land you a career at your dream job. This could also assist you in your social media (YouTube) career, personal development, self-employment (entrepreneurship), and so on. Although there are courses in basket weaving, bird watching, and feminism I'd recommend against them. I have nothing against those who bird-watch, protest nipple freedom, and weave baskets for a living. But I'd like to focus on the tens of thousands of courses available in highly demanded categories. That can net you some serious dough. I left examples below if you wanted to peruse careers in these categories. Bird watching Basket Weaving Regardless of the professional career path you've chosen, I'm sure you'll find the perfect courses for you. If you took a look at the images posted above. You'd notice at the top there is a sale currently in circulation. By the time you see this, I doubt that code will be available. The bold text below is the example of the sale that was in the image. I've also included a coupon code I use religiously for Udemy. This code has gotten me courses that or normally $160 or more for or less than $30. Courses from $13.99 end tomorrow| Get an extra 10% off today only with code ACHIEVE. Ends in 4h 41m 25s. Below are the codes I've used. I'll try my best to update the list with coupon codes that are still operational. Follow me on Twitter I'll post coupon codes that you may use that I've used personally. UDEAFFNU420 Use the promotional codes above when applicable. I've amassed a collection of courses over the past few years. Some of which I’ve started, and some of which I've yet to begin. I just never got around to completing them. You can chuck this up to laziness and business. Those of you may know I've been working on developing the kodoverse for a while now. Thus it has governed my time and life leaving me little time to complete my Udemy courses. I'll show you the courses I've purchased over the past year or so. I have 21 courses so far and am planning to acquire almost every useful course on software development, code, data science, and so on. There are tens of thousands of courses so I guess maybe not all of them but many. Let’s set my goal to 100 in total and go from there. I recommend that you also have a set number of courses you are willing to take to improve yourself. Here are the ones I have so far: Completion The hardest part after buying your courses is to actually complete them. Something I struggle with but aim to fix. Sadly I’m not alone 90% of people who purchase a course do not complete them. Hopefully, you are less busier than me, regardless you should still be able to complete your courses. There really aren't any excuses. Udemy has apps for both IOS and Android so sneaking in some study completion time during break shouldn't be an issue for most courses. Also allocating a few minutes to an hour a day should help move your course completion time along. I myself will implement at least 1 hour a day to complete my courses. And have been doing so for close to a month now On your Udemy app under push notifications, you can turn on learning reminders. Set the days and time you'd like to be reminded to complete your courses. Job/Career People have different career paths so I cannot speak for every path you choose. My field of study aligns with software development. Although Udemy code courses aren’t considered accredited to many businesses. Employers do appreciate the money, time, & dedication it took to complete the course. Thus this is considered valid for entry-level jobs, especially in software development. The courses show that you can complete complex assignments, and build real-world applications pertaining to your field of study. Code has a tendency to change and update like most fields. This includes new information, ways to write and implement logic, adding and removing methods, and so on. So let us remind ourselves of the benefits of the certifications: Staying on top of the new trends Shows that you are very interested & dedicated Highlights your accomplishments Real-world assignments Certifications that boost your resume Adds to your overall skill-set and qualifications Improves your current knowledge Shows your willingness to improve your education beyond college or high school Admits you don’t know everything and are willing to learn more You know your skill & job requirements profoundly The more the merrier, you’ll further understand the work NOTE: Regardless of the field of study make sure you take courses that offer a certificate of completion. This is considered a professional certification. It looks magnificent on your resume Millions of people take Udemy courses every year, and many have gotten jobs with the certified certificate completion of their course. Conclusion Get started already. Udemy is an amazing platform that millions enroll in. Attach the certifications to your resume. Remember what I said and add to your arsenal. And most importantly don’t be like the rest and actually complete the course... Good Luck be sure to let me know about your progress.

Why staying single will be the best thing for you. by kodoninja 2 months ago | SelfImprovement |  (#single #dating #Self-Improvement #life #goals #purpose #dreams)
000 Why staying single will be the best thing for you.
Do you ever hear of those girls with a laundry list of requirements that they want from a guy? You know the ones that want a guy that’s 6 feet tall, built like a Greek God, 8” in personality, 6 Lamborghinis, and a pet tiger… https://www.lovepanky.com/men/essentials-for-men/what-do-women-look-for-in-a-man well you get the idea… WELL, I’M THE SAME WAY… 😜 Okay, let me explain. I’ll also explain why this isn’t such a delusional ideology… So to answer this let’s back up a bit. The title of this article reads “Why staying single will be the best thing for you.” So why, right? We as humans seek companionship, sex, and comfort. And most people typically don’t want to be alone. Persons unlike myself want to be with someone. I on the other hand love to be alone. I strive in my loneliness. And I mean that literally. Let me talk very briefly about myself, some will relate I'm sure. I’M BORING. I don’t go out, when I’m out it's for food, biking, or “gym”… It’s for a specific reason. I don’t like to hang out, In fact, I’m not a fan of communication. However, I will speak out of curiosity, not enjoyment. I have numbers on my phone but I delete them and change my number so often, I have a tough time remembering my own number. It’s rare that I make friends. Hell, I haven’t made a friend since college. That’s how much I get out…. Okay so you get it People are a bit of a chore, not something I actually enjoy. So okay K-O-D-O-N-I-N-J-A, what does this have to do with the article? Well... everything. And, I love you guys :) Thanks for reading. And if you're reading this. This is a pro that came from being single. This very platform spans 6 other platforms. Being single gave me the time I needed to make something as crazy as this. While building this platform, it kind of reenacted things that I like about myself. And... I want to be with like-minded individuals, who are very similar to myself. I may be boring, but I do some interesting things. I even have a pet rock, these other losers have dogs. Anyway heres my rock... I love my Rocky 2, he never complains, always eats his food, and loves to go on walks with me.Rocky 1 ran away, because I forgot to feed him I think. pic.twitter.com/HFwnJMd3e9— Emmanuel Moore (@kodoninja) March 4, 2023 My laundry list of what I'm looking for in a rock, I mean human are: .__3e_m1, .__3e_m1a, .__3e_m1b { border-radius: 6px; } .__3e_m1, .__3e_m1a { border: 1px solid darkgreen; background: #eff9ef; } .__3e_m1 ol li { line-height: 30px; } .__3e_m1a { padding: 5px; } .__3e_m1b { background: #fff4f4; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid darkred; } A procrastinating workaholic Profession: Streamer, developer, engineer, blogger, business owner, investor/trader, author Appearance: ((fit1-petite2-simple3-slim4)-thickx) (7-9) exotic, long hair, not taller than I am. Oppisite to my genetics Hobbies: Coding, writing, reading, working out, biking, art(…), music Personality: Nice, neutral, pure, worships, obsessed with me :) Has their own things going on. A purpose 2 arms 2 legs (sorry rocks out there) AND MY POINT IS Don’t settle. I’m sure my list a very different than what you may be looking for in rocks. This is what I’m “looking for”. For me, my goals and wants are set very high. I won't budge from this list and neither should you don’t settle but be realistic. And yes I've been with humans matching this description. The Bottom line If you aren’t the type of person that attracts the type of person you want. ➡️ STAY SINGLE. Be at the level in life where these types of individuals that match your description are fighting to talk to you. I'm not that person YET. Pokimane still hasn’t returned my calls. frizzy & busy ???? pic.twitter.com/jHuVF7nbQ7— pokimane (@pokimanelol) March 25, 2023 MIA K. A famous (former) stay-at-home actress isn’t in my DMs. These types aren’t lining up to co-lab with me. I’m pulling rocks, no offense. So I need to stay single and figure out where I went wrong. And start pulling humans again. The picture I’m sure we all have a list of requirements we want from an ideal person. There are a lot of people that settle out of necessity, and go for the best option around them, what's convenient, and who like them (and vice/versa). It's a big planet. Currently, there are an infinite number of rocks with thousands of types. Why settle for what you see around you? Go explore the world. 8,025,323,424 People 6 main ethnic groups over 223 nationalities… Why settle for the girl/guy (depends on whoever is reading this) you met at work. People are so vast and brimming with different personalities and skills. Go for your ideal person, and stay single as these types are readily accessible to you. You may have a goal or something you're working towards that you are very proud of. You may be building the next Twitter, you may be an up incoming star, director, designer of your own clothing line, a blogger, or an online business owner. SOMETHING!!! right if you're on kodonija.com, you are on your purpose (AMS). Aiming to be something greater than your average Joe or Jane. And if you don’t you will have one soon… There is a passion you want so badly to flash on the radar to those you want to attract. For me Kodoninja is not a household name, as of yet, I'm still not in the app store, planners aren’t finished and it's not promoted to thousands yet. My books aren’t published let alone written. My YouTube/ social media personality isn’t known and pouring with revenue. I don’t have a solid team for my vision… The list goes on and on. The point being Stay to yourself. Stay alone until you become at least 85% of the individual you're aiming to be. At that point, you should be attracting the right individuals in your life. The ones who can actually benefit you. For me, the ones that are in my vicinity aren't really what I'm looking for. Don’t go for average, because you aren’t average. You're a kodoninja, like me. We aim high, we don’t settle… If they aren’t in your field of interest keep swimming. For instance, I'm a content creator, have you heard of me? No… … … Well… I'm working on that. I also like coding, anime, music, gaming, fitness, MMA, reading you know, everything I mentioned above. I like to be around persons of the same magnitude, and caliber as nobody becoming somebody just as I am. I want to be one of the millions of my own creations, A coding ninja “A kodoninja”. · · ·  So. I’m not saying go for the next model, big-time creator, etc. Go for someone in your field of interest when the time is right. I may want to move on from my rock, but I’m not where I want to be. Im not known. And my god do I have a list of things that need to be accomplished. The kodoverse is no easy feat. Your purpose and goals sir or miss is no easy feat. If you feel like you're at the point where you wish to date. Then go for it. I can’t settle for a Pikachu like Ash… I'm searching for my rare type, not a common pokemon you can find anywhere. Don’t settle for a Geodude… The odd caveat to this analogy is. … … … pokemon evolve. Is this contradictory? Nope. Idk.. but listen… · · ·  Let’s say you settle for a geodude as I did. Well… Geodude is learning how to write code by watching me, she is watching anime with me, learning chess, learning the ins and out of film mastery, she helps me with my writing and editing and my goals and vision… She was pulled as a geodude now she's a graveler. And guess what she wasn’t just any rock I mean geodude, she was Alolan. Not just any rock… She can be a Gold Alolan Golem... Im polishing up my rock and making her shiny. A rare type. Notice she’s Aloan. Yeah, a geodude but Aloan. You can’t find this rock in just any cave. If you are gonna go for a geodude make sure she’s polishing and prepared to be a shiny type with you... Now if you were a pokemon. Which one would you be? I’d be a Mega Blaziken or Mega Lucario… Or should I say I’m more of a Combusken working my way there. Now did I just contradict everything I just said up until this point? No not at all… It comes down to two decisions. In these decisions, they are like you. Option 1 The first option I mentioned. That is her, she's a developer, a streamer, a blogger (...), and she's a true and true person just like you. You two are great aiming to be greater together. She put in the blood, sweat in teas to get to where she's at. Everything she has, she bled and took the hours needed to create it. A self-made rare, like you are. Known are unknown… You both are well on your way to becoming something remembered. Option 2 The second option I mentioned. Is a polished rock. To put it bluntly. This rock was sitting in the dirt when you found her. Not much of anything going on. Just an average person. Wake up work, tv, friends, sleep repeat. Average dreams, average goals.. throw in a few hobbies here and there. But you share similar hobbies, hell they can be almost identical… The major difference is that. This rock is living a common life with no terrific goals and plans they’re aiming towards. This isn’t a dig no pun intended on option 2. Some people are misguided or just haven't found themselves yet. These types can either use you to get it ahead. Or use you to find a purpose for themselves and grow and learn with you… An engineered rare Conclusion If you're aiming for a Geodude, Meltan, or even Mew they all have pros and cons. Meltan is already rare and polished, while geodede is common and needs a lot of polishing to become rare…i’m back! :) pic.twitter.com/DvpwgnTpXx— ShinyQueen ? (@SaltQueenTTV) March 15, 2023 We can argue. Weren’t they born this way?… … … Well then you're not getting the analogy, let's move on. ⭐⭐⭐ Stay single until you can attract the type you want in your life. Don’t settle for common unless you're willing to put in the work and grow together. Just make sure your similar interest and hobbies are genuine. I myself prefer those that are doing things that are similar to me. Or want to and have the genuine love for. A blogger is awesome. Then you know the amount of work that goes into just one article. A content creator, then you know the amount of work it takes to write, film, and edit a single video. The list goes on… Mew is cool but I like Heatmor, Metagross, Meltan. The types that aren’t common but aren’t super rare or legendary. They take time and effort to find. Or find you when you’ve reached a certain point or level. Everyone wants a mew, but not me. I am fairly simple, modest, and common. Ask yourself, where are you? How far along on your purpose are you? I'd say I’m at 70%. My code is “done” I just need to polish errors, create content, and gather visitors, readers, subscribers, and followers. Whether its sell able merch or content for the platform or social media. There’s a lot but the heavy work is done. Stay single, don’t settle. Sometimes waiting longer until you can attract a better quality is best. Remember you are you, you make your own decisions. And mine is mine. I’ll see you at the next one. If you haven’t done so already please subscribe it means a lot thank you

How to overcome writers block by kodoninja 2 months ago | Selfimprovement |  (#pdf #writersblock #write #writing #mastery #multitasking)
000 How to overcome writers block
I am by no means a good writer at least not very much so today. But I can assure you I am indeed a writer getting back into my critically acclaimed writing style. And like the title of this article states: I will explain how you and I will overcome writer's block. So what is writer's block? Writer's block is a phenomenon experienced by writers that are best described as an overwhelming feeling of being stuck in the writing process without the ability to move forward and write anything new. https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-writers-block-how-to-overcome-writers-block-with-step-by-step-guide-and-writing-exercises Since my last 5 posts, my last article was posted 5 months ago. I’m slowly getting back into it. For I believe I’ve finally overcome procrastination and writer's block. There are countless amounts of books, blogs, and articles you name it that exist. So finding something original to write about can be very difficult. As a writer you are faced with the overwhelming fact, there are millions of other content people have written before. There’s always a better writer, more reflective and introspective content that other readers may prefer.  .__40a { background: #fff6ff; border: 1px solid purple; padding: 10px; } .__40b { background-color: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } .__40b ol li, .__40b ul li { line-height: 30px; } .__40b p { padding: 10px; margin: 0px; } By the way, I’ve created a FREE productivity outline “The guide to overcoming writer's block” that can be found on the download page and seen below. Better PAID versions are on the way. I hope you’ll find that guide/outline useful. I will be going over 5 points and solutions revolving around writer's block. This will make sense of the outline so be sure to download it. Now let’s dive in. 1. Writers' fatigue Creating content whether it may be for a book, blog post, or social media post; requires a bit of thinking and planning. To write an article writers will spend hours to days writing it. Books months to years. A typical writing process looks like this: Planning Outlining Writing Self Proofreading Spelling & Grammar checks Editing Adding links, images, videos, effects Make sure references are properly documented Legal, copyright compliance Re-writing new ideas, changes, and updates AI checks (Grammarly…) Paid proofreader(s) (freelancers) This isn’t everything but this is why it takes years to write a best-selling book. Why do blogs have 2-3 posts per month? No one is perfect, and writing takes time. Even the best writers need time. There are mountains of writers who are also co-listed to help with the overall story, picture, and point of whatever’s being written. Just look into ANY book, you’ll see other names attached to it besides the listed author. It’s not to say there isn’t a one-person army. I’m one, and it's a struggle. Hell... I had to quit my job to get any real work done. There are teams attached to successful blogs for a reason. There are layers of filters that a single post has to go through before it is posted. So what’s the point? The point is that this is a lot of work. This amount of work enacts writer fatigue. Thus this may put a block on your writing. For instance, I enjoy writing, but the amount of work that goes into it eventually catches up to me. The same goes for coding which is my favorite thing to do in the world. 2. The well is dry Another element of writer's block is that you are fresh out of new ideas. The well is simply dry. You think you’ve come up with everything there is to say. This can be either the current project you writing or the next. Solution: Regardless of if you are a blogger or an author of a book. There is similar content available for you to look at. When I’m out of ideas I seek inspiration elsewhere. For instance, this platform has a blog. The bulk of the content on the blog revolves around self-help, personal development, and entrepreneurship. So I look to blogs that are posting the same such as “The Penny Hoarder”, & “Alux”. 3. Break time Hey, you're working too hard! Take a break, it's okay. I do it all the time, I take strategic breaks. Solution: In fact, I use a well-known technique called the Pomodoro technique. This is simply working for 25 minutes and then taking a break for 10-15 minutes. For this method, it's good to use a timer to alert you at each 25-minute interval, then again on break times. Rinse and repeat. More times than often I’ll work for several hours take a break for minutes to an hour then get back to work for hours. Often the entire night or day... Or I’ll work for hours and take small breaks every so often. I’ve been known to work at libraries from opening to closing of nonstop work. Also, go for a walk, go on a bike ride, walk, or drive to the grocery store. Do something adjacent to what you're doing. It’s okay to give your brain a break. I love biking and working out. I also love watching anime, movies, and shows, and listing to music. I’ll speak on multitasking down below, you can give your brain a break, and work at the same time. Or vice versa it’s sort of like keeping your brain at an equilibrium. 4. Logging/ Stockpiling Ideas won’t pop into your head 24/7, like we mentioned the good runs dry. So what happens when an idea for whatever your writing presents itself? Solution: You Log it. Whether you are at the grocery store, at home, with friends, you name it you can always log your idea. So what is logging? It is as it sounds, you log the idea. It can either be titles for the next article, ideas to put in your current article, notes, book ideas chapter outlines, or whatever that may be. Logging creates a stockpile of ideas you can return to when the well runs dry. For instance, you are a content creator, and blogger. Your site needs to constantly be posting articles to keep your readers engaged. If the content stops you, you loose readers. So when the well runs dry, you’ll have a stockpile of work to keep the content posting. I have a folder saved on my computer with a list of pre-written articles with titles and outlines. The same goes for books I started, ideas, plans, and so on. Notion is an app I often talk about that I have ideas logged and stockpiled. It has a desktop, IOS, and Android app, all linked to the same server so you can jot down and store your ideas no matter what device you're working on. You don’t have to stay exclusive to Notion there are dozens of apps out there that you can use. 5. Batching Ideas may come in waves, if not you already have tons of work stockpiled in your logs. Batching is a good way to get a lot of work done at one time. And it is as it sounds, you get a lot of work done at once. If you're a blogger this is a perfect, way to combat a busy life. Not everyone is at the point where they can write full-time for themselves. So batching is a great option to keep the post coming and not miss upload schedules. So how do you implement batching effectively? You do this on your alone time. This is time that you may have off from work, family, taking care of the kids, and so forth. Let's say you work 5-6 days a week. There is a day when you won't be working. Or perhaps there are days when you have a few hours free. Take that time you have off to pile in as much work as possible. If you have a weekly posting schedule. The day or time you have free can be used to write 2-3 articles at one time. So a question you may ask is. How can you do this and maintain quality? Well there in-lies the question. You do this by writing as much as possible, then polishing up your work during the in-between time. For instance, on a weekend you write 3 articles. Then you tweak add, update, and polish them; getting them ready to be posted when it's time to post them. During my posting process, I take an article and prep it to be posted. I proofread, update, add images, links, and so on. This process takes hours but the majority of the work is done. However, if you want quality work, allocating several hours to days to one article is recommended. If you also have a job, and various other things going on; Time will be a fleeting factor making it almost impossible to manage the work without help. 6. Multitasking So your having trouble coming up with ideas? One solution I do is by doing multiple things at once. If you're like me your brain may hit a pause every so often. Where you can’t think of anything. When I do multiple things at once I create many ideas while my brain juices are flowing. Since you are working and learning at the same time (your brain is on fire) thus the ideas will come at a higher rate. Sort of like giving your brain a jolt of electricity to bring it back to life. Hard to grasp, okay… Let’s say you're sitting at your computer working. Try having a small window open or maybe a YouTube video. If your blog is about health & fitness. Have a video about health & fitness playing while you work. By watching the video and working at the same time. You will get ideas… Okay, now... I think you get the picture… I try to keep myself engulfed in my topic by consuming many videos on what my platform is about. And the ideas just keep coming. I’ll read other books while I work… Let’s pause. That statement takes practice. So I recommend while you're trying the Pomodoro technique I mentioned earlier, try reading related content during your 10-15 minute breaks… Keep trying it until you're able to have a window open of a post or pdf side by side of whatever you're working on. Or take breaks in between your work. Read then work, until it happens simultaneously. I used to have music playing while I read and write, I’d be zoned in for hours forgetting to eat. I need to get back into that. 7. Freelancing I’ll make this one quick. This is self-explanatory; you outsource the work either partially or entirely to other professionals. Those ideas we have stockpiled, not to mention all the work there is to do on a well-written piece. Remember we mentioned this in Writers' Fatigue? Have a freelancer take all that stress away from you; again either entirely or partially. A freelancer can range in any skill or profession from design to written language translation. They can be found on many platforms. I’m on my top 3, I’ve used Fiver once. Perhaps I should use them more often So I can make time for other things. Fiver Freelancer Upwork And there are dozens more check out this article below. Writers fatigue, don’t fall victim to this. Blog platforms have employees for a reason. Big YouTubers have a team for a reason. Hiring freelancers helps. If originality is a big factor to you as it is to me. Write the blog at least 30% of it, have a decent outline, get your tone across then have a freelancer, team, or employee finish it. What was written is still you, someone else just finished what you wrote. Look at it this way Beyonce has 10 -12 writers for some songs. Jay-Z who “writes” his music has a team of producers to edit, and compile his work after he records. Kanye West has a team of producers and writers that finish his work, based on his unfinished work, ideas, notes, and instructions. Hired help takes away 95% of the things causing fatigue away from you. Now you can see your kids, go to the gym, see daylight, feed the rats, pet the fish, and work more. You now have more freedom to do whatever the f*ck you want. https://bysophialee.com/meet-the-team/ With more help, you now have time to grow your platform at a faster rate. Instead of posting 3 videos and 3 posts a month, you can do 10 or more. I will use a team and freelancers extremely soon, so I may grow, and promote the platform. Finish the other platforms, create content, and direct We need a video in which all MKBHD team members introduce themselves, don't we? by u/Monk_99 in mkbhd Your task list after freelancing will look a little like this, granted this is all subjective. You may have a team of people that’ll do all these things and you're just the face of the platform. Writing Batching/ logging/ stockpiling Writing 30%-100% of the article or book The team (freelancer) takes over the items that cause writers' fatigue Post content if a team doesn’t do this already Video Record video The team(freelancer) edits the video Post content if a team doesn’t do this already Conclusion Writer's block… As a writer, we all go through it. The best option to combat writer's block is to just fight it head-on with the methods mentioned above or simply by taking a break. The planet has been around for a long time. Books, annals, recorded records, books, blogs, videos, YouTube, Google, Bing… The list goes on and on. Ideas are out there, after generations of human record keeping; there are always ideas to borrow from. An idea is rarely unique, with over 5 thousand years of human records. More blogs than I can count, more books than I can count, more YouTube videos than I can count, and more Google searches than I can count. Information is out there, ideas are out there. If you have an idea for an article that has already been done, do it anyway. This very title has been done more times than I can count. But hey I did it anyway. Readers aren’t subject to just one place to read and consume content there are many options. My Humor is unique, my writing style is unique. The title and point have been done before. But this is the first time you’ve heard it from kodoninja. Theirs a lot of work to create a blog post so you’ll almost always experience writer fatigue. Implement the strategies I mentioned. Take a break, hire a freelancer, and build a team. The well runs dry, as I said you are one of hundreds of others who do the same thing. Look at their content to get ideas. Batch your work, and create a stockpile of work ready to be posted when the well runs dry. Give multitasking a go; try doing many things at once to help jolt your brain. While your multi-tasking, consume like-minded work to give you ideas to add to your notes, folder, or logs in your favorite note-taking app like Notion. I’ve talked enough if you liked this article give it an upvote if you enjoyed it. Subscribe to the YouTube channel and please stay engaged. A team is on the way more content is coming.

SNIPPET:: "The Nomad Lifestyle"... I'm the founder of the software company Aviyon. I lived in various types of houses, & apartments, over the past few years. By doing so I’ve hopped from place to place, from town to city to state. I Utilize libraries for work, hotels, motels, Airbnb, hostels, and friend's places, hell majority of the time I choose to sleep in my car. 2-4 hours max! It’s FREE it saves money and allows me to reinvest that money into other things instead of paying rent. There are thousands of others on YouTube living the same life. After sleep I’m off to get things done, gym, work... I rarely sleep so I’m able to get a lot more accomplished. I’m a believer that sleep is the cousin of death. So I prefer to remain awake improving myself. I'm a workaholic living a simple life…. However… I’ll be stopping soon, getting a place again to launch kodoninja's YouTube once this platform is mostly complete.

 I've been posting my trades & code since 2015... The irony is that I’ve been on a journey to own nothing since 2020. I don’t want to own my place, car, equipment, NOTHING directly. I don’t even want to have money, keeping it all liquid. I want to live limitless on the GO, with a central hub to call home... I've been putting every penny I've made into investment accounts since 2019. My goal isn't to be rich, or convincing people I'm rich who cares. It's to own nothing but my companies, & liquid funds. But that's beyond the point. I just want to share my coding trading, investing, etc. lifestyle, and grow the community. I aim to recruit people similar who are way better at this to my platform

 Now if all the software I create (Aviyon, Kodoninja...) happens to net me a high net worth, then cool. The company is wealthy not me (I'll explain later). I don't spend much money anyhow, nor do I brag. I'm humble, frugal, cheap, a wolf in sheep's clothing just trying to remain invisible. But somehow the guy who wants to own nothing, invest, trade, train, workout, does MMA, create the #kodoverse, and build #kodoninja creates so much HATE. The irony is there are THOUSANDS of rich, rich YouTubers doing the same thing #vanlife #carlife... Their lack of knowledge confuses my ambitions and lifestyle...

An odd discussion has been happening… I AM NOT RICH. I am not claiming to be, nor will I ever… I DO NOT PAY MYSELF… I work 1 warehouse job, and currently, should be around 4k monthly with overtime. Early next year I’ll pay myself a salary of $1,000/m MAX from kodoninja.com as an employee. This is regardless of what the platform makes in revenue. The remaining revenue will be reinvested in itself. The kodoverse platforms & YouTube.

My expenses are kept so low that I can reinvest more money. For now $4k/m works, I can afford the things I want, including the NEW studio and so on. This in turn allows me to reinvest all business revenue & royalties… NOTE: after bills,…. All money will be traded/invested attempting to double the monthly income trading…

I recently quit my second job… which would have been around 7-8k a month. This all worked out… Once I get the NEW Seattle studio I can freelance during the day, and trade/invest my various accounts during market hours… Replacing the revenue from that job shouldn’t be difficult…

Job 2 is still up for discussion after months into the New studio coming 10/2022 ?? Time for development, and transportation will be the key siding factor… Going car-less after the studio. full public transportation, bikes/e-bikes, Lyft & Uber… My legacy is at stake as I’m attempting to accomplish what less than 1% have managed to do… Thus I need time… The extra money is great once I get the studio,… Is it worth it? The income stream would be replaced with something more manageable. Allowing me the flexibility and time to get shit done…. We’ll see…Furthermore, I can build out my vision for kodoninja & the kodoverse everything from Crypto, and web apps to VR. Building the platforms more complex stable and simple. The absence of Job 1 leaves more time to build out the 7+ full-stack platforms from “The ‘Aviyon’ Corporation” Hiring 1099 employees and friends in the FAANG Industry preparing to IPO… Working at META is still a prospect of mine, As I’m incorporating All of their languages into kodoninja. And aspects into the remaining kodoverse.

I just recently moved to Washington, after moving the remaining of what I own into storage. Weeks in I'll crash on my friend's/Ex’s couch when I get the chance… Although I rarely if ever reach out… The main method is to stay in my car in between stays and hotels... It’s FREE ??, I’m cheap and poor so it all works out lol… Not paying myself & putting money into untouchable accounts have been a staple of mine for years.

Until recently this Method has been working… Mistakes were made, overinvested, and money was mismanaged, and more on this coming YouTube.

Major adjustments to “The Zero Cash Lifestyle” are in progress… I'll continue to car/hotel months longer, Investing very aggressively ALL IN. I mean AAAALLLL IIINNN HAHAHA ?? as I save on rent money… That’s an extra 2k a month being reinvested … I’ve got nothing to hide ALL PUBLIC on Kodoninja.com for some time now… Coming 9/1/2022 all PERSONAL non-business income will be made public on kodoninja. com/trade.php. BUSINESS income will feature on kodotrading. com COMING 2023I'll U-Haul everything else down. After I find the new studio. I’m hoping I can find a girlfriend, another developer, or YouTuber as a roommate. Always looking to SAVE “INVEST” MONEY anyway I can… Otherwise, I'll live alone, using the space as an office studio.Furthermore… I trade, I invest everything I earn. As you’ll see publicly. I founded Aviyon “The Aviyon Corporation”. Which I intend to take public by 2024; After all the work is live and flooded with users. I will file for an asset holding company “Moore Capital Investments” by late 2022 or early 2023. Which I will buy rental properties under this LLC or S-Corp. All while building the entire kodoverse…

The aim is to share my entrepreneurial journey with whoever may find it interesting... This isn’t boasting of my accomplishments, but a lens into my lifestyle… I love all, I have no enemies, and I want everyone to succeed. The work is still being developed, I’m just getting started in life. Much much more is planned and on the way.
