100 Day Oath

Sep 07, 2025

I was gifted with an excellent internal clock, yet i am also a hostage of my own slothfulness. They say time is money. I say time is Life.

For the past year i had been working toxic jobs, either full time part time at various restaurants downtown such as Michelin Restaurant and commercial Restaurant-Chains. Often working evening to late shifts. I worked as a Kitchen Porter of whom's responsibility was not just cleanliness of the work environment, but also other aspects such as my entire team's health and safety as i ensure smooth operations around the kitchen (any and all problems falls on the shoulders of the Kitchen Porter, who's also a cleaner, handyman, waste management, stock management, deliveries). I often worked long exhausting, physically taxing shifts, and often times i was the last one out.

But throughout my past year i figured a lot of shit out alone in that pot wash room. I noticed that i was developing extremely bad eating habits, due to finishing my late shifts, which affected my sleep, my energy levels, my stamina, my mental faculties. Fuckin job was killin me!

So i started to track what i was doing day to day and noticed a problem: i am wasting too much time.

<br>

Right around this time i had learnt something called the 100 Day Oath. The premise is simple: vow to do something for 100 Days (a little over three months). A vow is a personal oath, more than a promise or a goal. In knowing the inherent power of an Oath i also came to know the challenges of keeping an Oath alive; it requires integrity, a diamond-focused mind to see it through, and of course the resolve to realize such Oaths daily. Yo listen that sounds like my type of smoke!

My Oath is simple: spend more time actualizing my [daily building blocks](https://blurt.media/w/a3DNaC2ahqxPhTjsffAkzp)...

- The Wisdom Department ([Pure Land Buddhism] & [The Shurangama] , [Yi], [Wen Wang Gua], [Plum Blossom Divination], [Book of Odes], [Jorge Luis Borges])

- The Health Department (walks, [Wing Chun], breath work, **detox**, stretchng, [not giving a fuck])

- Smoking (my pipes during the day, and ["Spears of Death"] at night)

- Extricate The System (aka being [a thorn], [actualizing] the [decentralised life], [learning to live again] and [staying sharp against the Enemy])

- [Supporting] my adored [Blurt] [wherever] I [can]

I streamline my days so that i have more time for freedom and less time for bullshit, i have found this 100 Day Oath a great addition to my life.

It's a paradox actually, as after focusing on a specific set of tasks for 100 days, i've found that my life has entered into the hemispheres of Hakuna Matata and "Less is More".
