Its the last month of the year and its that time of the year when people go into a retrospective to assess what went right and what didn't go right this year and its also the time when people start preparing to make resolutions for next year. The same old "New year", "New Me" thing that happens year after year. I am also guilty of making resolutions, some unrealistic, some outright naive and some over enthusiastic ones and sadly I have not kept most of them.
There is one resolution I made at the beginning of the year and that was to be a medal collector and surprisingly I have been able to partially keep it. I wanted to earn a medal a month which meant I would've earned 12 medals this year but instead I managed to participate in the most famous running events and I earned medals there. I started with this enthusiasm at the beginning of the year and participated in some not so famous events and I could see the difference. Hardly any people participated in these small time events. There was no organization what so ever and even the medal I got was some cheap flimsy one which are given in schools. So im never going to participate in these small events every again. Anyways I'm quite happy with the progress I made. I started the year with a 5K and ended it doing two awesome 10K's in the Airtel Hyderabad Marathon and the Freedom 10K run. I plan to participate in many many more events next year.
All this aside, coming back to the title of my blog. Yesterday I happened to watch a video on youtube in which one of the vloggers, Sorelle Amor made a video of her trying to live like one of my most favorite youtuber, Casey Neistat for a week. You can watch the video here. Casey is a very famous and an extremely successful youtuber who captured the hearts and minds of millions of people by making daily vlogs where he shows snippets of his day in a very interesting way. His work ethic, his fitness mantra and most importantly his story telling has become extremely famous and he is quite an influential person and people are always super anxious to meet him. This lady Sorelle did a marvelous job of trying to live like Casey for a week and it got me thinking. Now that sounds super interesting and very achievable, why don't I give it a shot as well?? The good thing was that it is just for a week and that seems like a reasonable time frame to try something new. Better make resolutions for a reasonable realistic time frame rather than for the entire year during which we become tend to become complacent and end up not being able to keep up the resolutions.
Casey has this really tight, yet interesting schedule each day which I intend to follow with some improvisations and it goes like this :
I thought I will start this today but I had come back from a 500 KM drive yesterday night and couldn't wake up. I will surely start following this routine from tomorrow and instead of a daily vlog, I will write a daily blog. Lets see how it goes.

Casey has this really tight, yet interesting schedule each day which I intend to follow with some improvisations and it goes like this :
| Casey | Nitin |
| Wakes up between 4:30 to 5 am and does some work. His work involves editing youtube videos or responding to mails | In my case it would be to wake up at that time and study and update myself on new technologies |
| He is very fitness conscious and goes for long runs (usually in the tune of 10kms) almost every day. | I love running too, so I could do something similar by hitting the gym after an hour or two of studying |
| He always eats healthy. Of course he goes on the occasional binge but he drinks a lot of green juices. | In my case I am going to try intermittent fasting where I am not going to eat any high calorie diet after 8pm. |
| Family time is important for him. He always spends time with his wife and kid after 6pm. | I'm not married yet and even if I come home by 6 pm, my parents aren't home, so I thought instead of family time, I will do daily blogs. |
| He goes for a late night gym session. | This is the only thing from his routine that I wont be able to do but I will try to incorporate something. |
I thought I will start this today but I had come back from a 500 KM drive yesterday night and couldn't wake up. I will surely start following this routine from tomorrow and instead of a daily vlog, I will write a daily blog. Lets see how it goes.
