Opening Up To A Reality Not Yet Set

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Do you realize nothing is impossible,
It only matter on the space for which,
That reality is created?
For dreams do exist,
So is our creativity,
The sky is the limit,
Should be in every little kids lunch kit,
We are gifted with imagination,
To unlock doors,
Believe in that anything is possible.
Inside we have the key.

Lure Me In

Posted on by Jixi Fox

I have been thinking,
That I want to me linking,
With you,
Pass your curfew,
Let’s find something to do,
We can talk on the phone for hours,
Or we can do something casual,
A little bit of touch and tease,
A bit of screaming baby please,
All while having deep connection,
So lure in,
Singing melodies,
Creating unique fantasies,
Make more feelings of ecstasy,
So we can fall a sleep,
Under the moon,
Under a tree,
On a blanket of roses,
Fitting for you and me.

Spent 30 Minutes, Deleting Emails OMG

Posted on by Jixi Fox

THE THOUGHT PROCESS

Okay, so the mission was simple. Eliminate emails ASAP from a cluttered inbox. Task Level: moderate, based on the type of music and hyper focus level you are in at the moment. I clearly understood the mission, after have a productivity training session at the gym, (aka working out). I always laugh at the fact you can always tell a better story based on the words you use and add a lot more details to drag a story to create an unique experience to the reader. Having said all that, short form, I went to the gym, fell good, was super hype, came home and figured I would delete a bunch of emails.

A BIT OF BACK STORY

Gmail is my preferred email service of choose. It has it’s pros and cons, but I have always loved google, since it came out. Now my inbox has always been full, except for my work emails, they stay on “0”. Everything is read and sorted, I dislike seeing the numbers of unread emails in a inbox. I pay attention to details and label them based on importance. Oh yea by the way, if you live in an area of lot of population, trust me when I tell you, there are many people out there, that will pay you just to manage and organize their inbox. I have done it, and it’s good way to network and help other especially busy people, parents, business owners and creators. If you pursue this, thank me later. 🙂

THE MISSION

I have an inbox, I overly abuse. I am not abusive, but this email inbox, gets stuffed. So I have to break it all done in two numbers on the goal/mission.

Start of the Process
ALL MAIL = 112,000 Emails. (Yep, the number is correct, your eyes are not deceiving you).
UNREAD MAIL = 59,000 Emails. (Also no lie there.)

The Goal was to get to 50,000 unread emails in 20 minutes. That was coming from 59,000 unread emails.

THE PROCESS

Gmail is a tricky little sucker, so just know they way they sort your mail is weird. Promotions & Social Tabs act as almost different entities. So deleting a promotion email, in which most people email has is filled up with, trust me I know.

So here is the laziness part of it all, I am not going to full explain the process, but the quick answer is…click on the icon at the end of search mail on top of your browser, then choose words and email addresses you are getting mass emails from. Hit Search, and select all, review, and also hit, “select all conversations that match this search”, and click delete. Then start watching those emails GO GO GO AWAY.

THE RESULTS

ALL MAIL: 74,804 Emails
UNREAD MAIL: 39,900

I am so happy for these results. I had got to 49,000, but I wanted more and more, so I went for 30 minutes instead of 20, and bingo. I feel like I won a championship. 🙂

This post wasn’t going. tobe a post for today, but I was so inspired to let others into my world, so I spent 30 minutes deleting emails and 30 minutes writing the post to share with you. Another productivity hour of my life. Weeee.

TRICKS & HELPFUL TIPS

  1. Always go to your spam, sort and delete. Look for reoccuring places they are coming from and add to the block list.
  2. Always go to your TRASH, and clear it. For all emails you delete is not deleted until you go to trash and delete your trash. This similar to using your Windows & Mac computers as well as you iPhone (deleted photos), trust me, they are still there. So go and look. Thank me later.

Cycling Through Life

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Cycling through life,
Trying to find where to go,
Who to know,
Paths to take,
Money to make,
For cash rules everything,
And greed,
How can we stop ourselves,
From what we need,
We believe in the greater good,
Unless we pessimistic,
Our true values,
Seems misrepresented,
So we vent it,
Through comments and memes,
You think you ripe,
You never evolved,
You are green,
Meaning to things matter,
And you matter more than all,
So lead yourself to where you want to,
Do it for you,
Don’t follow ours directions,
In a wall.

FULL STOP.

In Such A Mist

Posted on by Jixi Fox

So many changes,
Not trying to lose my head,
Woke up today,
Hopped up out of the bed,
I read the path,
I did the math,
But someone held me back in class,
Now I am showing my ass,
Can I just be upset?

My Goals for October

Posted on by Jixi Fox

I have been working very hard in the background to be more productive, happier, and healthier. With that comes, creating new routines and breaking old and bad habits. In life with sometimes find sweet spots and pocket of space to live in, that doesn’t take away or add value, but we stay put in there. We are not the next person, I tell this to my clients a lot, but we should want to create a new or dynamic life to really say we lived than just said we existed, or we maintain the basics.

THE WHY

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to break cycles. I want to achieve what my family never have, but I will do it my way. So in order to understand how, when, and why, I must know myself. And that I do know very well. I know for a facts I love a challenge, and a break through, I just sometimes look back and say, wow, you are going crazy insane for that goal. As you are putting your mind, body, relationships, and more through new mental stress, actions, accountability, and growth. It’s not easy to achieve all you want and more but, we, well at least I try.

THE GOAL

So here are my goals. I will create a video for the 8th of October -> HERE to explain the goals and what they mean in audio terms.

Goals For October

  • Become a Level 6 reviewer in New York City.
  • Go on (2 – 3) Mental Chill Walks Per Week.
  • Post (4) Reels Every Week on My Instagram. (so in total 16 for the month).
  • Create (1) Audio Ditation Chat and post on YouTube.
  • Create (5) New Posts Canva.
  • Complete (4 – 5) Reviews per week.
  • Read (1) Book for the Month. (The goal is to read 3-4 books by the end of the year 2023)
  • Post (1) Video Weekly on my Youtube Channel.
  • Post (2) Pins on My Pinterest Board every week.
  • Go to the gym 4 days a Week.

Let me know your thoughts? Am I crazy?
