What Went Well

  • 5/5 todos done despite doctor’s appointment and errands (cashing check)
  • Used low-sleep morning strategy: stacked easy wins first (meditation, water) and everything compounded from there
  • Stayed out of the house until 5pm to maintain focus
  • First 400m continuous swim — PR!
  • Blog post finally done and scheduled (no more rolling)
  • All recurring goals hit (writing, Substack interaction, yoga)

What Went Poorly

  • Low sleep (5 hrs) — need to protect sleep
  • Afternoon lull — likely caused by overeating when getting home, not just being home
  • Calorie overshoot (~3,430) — stress eating pattern continues

Lessons

  • Morning momentum hack works: easy wins early → compound effect
  • Afternoon lull fix: smaller snacks + stay off couch when home
  • Environment still matters — out of house = focused, but can work at home with the right guardrails
