Naval 2.0 Letter Chapter 1

 Hellow Rabbit! 


It's been months since I wrote a letter to you. 


Hope all has been great on your side.


You know what? 


Since the last time we contacted, things has changed, many things has changed. 


From a guy who keeps grumbling about cooking on board ship to acceptance to embrace-ment. 


And at the bottom from my heart, im really greatful. 


One important lesson that I learnt so far is....


FOCUS.


Simply Focus, eleminate distractions. 


Here's what I observed. 


Whenever the galley starts working, the only goal is to serve. 


There is nothing in mind other that focus on a perticular task at hand. 


If I am tasked to cut veggie, I would then cut veggie. 


If I am tasked to prepare cambral, I would prepare the cambreal. 


If I am tasked to fry the sides, I would then fry the sides. 


Nothing would cut me off, as im in the flow state.


Back at home, when I start writing, I get distracted to my phones, the noise outside, random thoughts in my head.


I miss the flow state, the state where I can juz FOCUS and get things done. 


Now, I cant find that flow. 


Especially when im writing, I procastinate, I feel lazy, I feel not needed. 


But I know that I should be writing, I should do my research, I should continue my education, continue upgrade myself. 


Yet these few days, I feel like a sloth. 


Tired.


I maybe sick, due to illness that im not sure off. 


Definately not covid. 


but it's the tiredness made me not want to focus and wanting to swipe tiktok, douyin, fb and youtube. 


I made a commitment to master copywriting, yet im still not putting the effort to do my best. 


I feel demoralised, yet I still do not feel the pain of doing more.


But its ok, all this is a learning curve, an adventure for me to explore. 


Alright rabbit, 

Thats all for today, 


Bye,

Jun Xian

Naval Letter Chapter 23

 Date: 20 Apr 2021 Day & Time: Tue 23:39 Dear Rabbit, Guess what I did for today, its pretty chill and I like it a lot.  How I wish it is like this everyday, every single day.  Wash up galley, rest and DONE.  DONE and DONE.  No Cooking!  And it's my favorite!  I spent my time reading advertising solutions and it like how it was going, one thing I could reduce is to not sleep too much, hahhaha, nap twice.  But you know what? This is the lifestyle I enjoy, study and focus on my learning.  After secure, went back home and started round 2 of learning.  Learning from people who are better than I am in terms of copywriting and marketing.  It's such a bless.  Till tomorrow,  SECURE!

Naval Letter Chapter 22

 Date: 19 Apr 2021 Day & Time: Mon 18:47 Dear Rabbit,  Today I took off, so there is no recepie, that said this whole week have no cooking!  Hahaha Today I hit 80% of what I have to do, but... I feel that im still I'm unproductive.  You see, most of my work are listening and thinking. The only 'physival' work I done was 1h of writing.  That is my only work done.  The rest of the list is exercise, e-lesson, and meeting.  And the lesson is not me sitting down and listen, it is me listening while cooking. How interesting is that? And this made me think, y am I so lazy?  And I thought of James, what he will do?  He will study copywriting.  That's for sure.  So now the question here for myself is:  What do I need to do to study copywriting?  And the answer is very simple  Read the books that I already have.  Go through YouTube ads breakdown Attend webinar and courses. I have the answer, yet I don't take action. An...

Naval Letter Chapter 24

 Date: 21 Apr 2021 Day & Time: Wed 22:20 Dear Rabbit,  This whole week is all about waiting for time to pass.  There is nothing to be cooked and I really enjoy the process.  When there is nothing to be done, what I can do is to do my own stuff, which I did goal setting, what I thought was creating a vision for myself but ended up creating a 5-year goal.  That is good, but I need to refine it, 5-year goal to annual goal, to bi-monthly goal, and then to daily habits.  It's top to bottom, not bottom-up.  And it's a good opportunity, I make use of the 3 hours.  What I will do tomorrow is to finish reading up my book on advertising solutions.  And create 1 mth (or 2) content around it, and I'm sure I can.  After seeing how UJ teach M how to create content, I sure I can too, and I can focus my content creation on other areas.  Content creation currently is daily written, what I need to do is to write more efficiently.  Create in ...
