Entry 19.11 (Written on 20.11) Day 780: No Useless Videos Day 778: Sticking to Food schedule Day 381: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 84: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well no matter how small -Having asked my apartment mate to separate bottles and other plastic cans so that I'd put it more quickly in the trash can which has a quite mall shaft -Quickly deciding what to take in carrefour, -Writing out things planned for purchase in Mercadona before entering, thus managing the whole ordeal with going to 3 shops and sending back shoe pair within 2.5 hours (not including ordering in fridge and shower) 1 thing I could do  better -Next week I'd like to order from Mercadona, and only physically go to the fruit/vegetable shop

Mon 11.19 No mobile games - 209 days No compulsive social media use: 47 days No compulsive research: 47 days No passive screentime before bed, first thing in the mornings, or during work: 50 days It was a bit of a rough day, with not a lot going on in the way of good gym time. I could tell this affected me at work later in the day. Things I will do to stay healthy Sleep around 8h - I went to bed at 10:50pm, but the baby woke up at midnight and wouldn't go back to bed. He was still hungry so had to feed him, I think he's going through another growth spurt cuz he's been otherwise fine sleeping through the night (usually just requires rocking). I went to bed at 12:30am again and woke up at 6:45am. I estimate about 7h total combined (give or take) but still on the lower side. Ce la vie avec les bebes. Brush Teeth + Floss - brushed this morning and will be doing both again tonight Read a book - I still have to do some of my exercises admittedly. I will likely not get to posting them tonight. Go for walks / Exercise - I had to make time at lunch for working out, which wasn't ideal. The morning didn't get off to a great start, I was hyperactive (my mind was rather) and it affected me until I got that energy out. Shower + wash face - I had a rinse after working out, but will need to a face wash tonight. I'm posting earlier than usual, so I'm hoping that helps. Nutrition Breakfast: yogurt with nuts and cereal Lunch: sandwich Dinner: pasta with sauce Talk to my kids + play with them - after work we went to pick up an order (more xmas stuff) and the kids came along with us. Then when we got back home, we all cleaned out our entrance closet which was due. They actually helped and found it fun. I dunno if I'd count this as "playing" but they sure did lol. So there we go. Talk to my partner - it was my wife today who had a tough day, as the baby is moving quite a bit on his own now and he's getting busier. I helped her out as much as I could in my work breaks, but he's starting to get impatient and not liking the carrier on me. Kicked me right in the groin twice! Not that it hurt a ton because he's a baby, but it's still not fun. We'll experiment with different carrier positions, usually he falls asleep on me though. I guess he's just getting older. Meditate + Deep Breaths - I did a quick one after working out. I'll do another before bed, I've been enjoying this as a routine. Practice French - I did French practice with the green owl this morning, and also spoke to my kids while organizing the front closet. Journal - tough day but I'm grateful for turning to my top lines. I removed water drinking because I've been pretty good about this so far. ------ 7 habits So admittedly, I didn't get to this. I think I overestimated the amount of time I'd have after work and doing that pickup. I'll keep my commitments for tomorrow as the same. Commitments for tomorrow: Finish planning goal 1 and do the same for the other 2 goals (this will be a recurring commitment, because the process takes time) (cont) Talk to my partner about some future investment options for a home gym. Actually... I can do this one now. Let me get it done, and I'll post about it tomorrow. And also schedule some time to get story ideas discussed together. Same with this one. I'll post about it tomorrow gonna go meditate and do my bedtime routine. Good night everyone!

20.11-4.12 food schedule update, not including 4.12 Everything remains the same, but I´ll look for sesame seeds and kale in the store, if i find them at reasonable price, replace half of the tahini with 40g kale or half of tahini with 16g sesame seeds. Also in the case i do take kale, add 15 g almonds instead of the 15g tahini. Once the walnuts run out they are to be replaced with chia and flax as before and 10 grams of almonds on top. Remarks after back from store: -15g sesame seeds are to be replaced with 15g tahini, however when sesame seeds run out, go back to 33g tahini. -When old tomatoes run out go back to 1 tomato per day

Mon 11.18 (part 2) Talk to my kids + play with them - after work, I talked to my older kids in French and reviewed some exercises with my oldest on this site to help him with his literacy (mine as well tbh). I put the baby down to bed, then helped my wife put the other two to bed Talk to my partner - both chatted during the day. Pretty good appointment this morning, it's about having a 4th kid (yea you could say we're nuts). That's what these appointments are about. We have to go through fertility to boost our chances, is the basic gist of it. Also I brought up how we should discuss our story ideas more often. I'll keep talking about this to see if I can get a common time that works for both of us. Meditate + Deep Breaths - Right, I knew I had forgotten something... okay, I'll do one right after journaling as a way to unwind from the day. Drink Water - I got my water bottle with me throughout the day. I feel like I can remove this next journal entry, I'm at the point where I'm remembering to do this. Practice French - oui, je parle avec mes enfants. I might do a bit of Duolingo before bed as well Journal - entry is here. ------ 7 habits - proactivity test - day 30 This is the last day of the proactivity test, but that doesn't mean I will stop. I'm thinking that this yesterdays commitments and todays will keep going. It gives me good structure for sticking to important things first.   Find that notepad! I found it! It was in a backpack I took with me to the park. I'll now be able to continue with my workbook there. I found it just an hour ago. I only had those 3 steps apparently; the agenda time, the reflection time, and the backlog review time. Still good starts, and I'm glad I recalled them from memory last night. Schedule above called out events. I scheduled times to get an agenda for my 1-1 with my manager weekly. That will help structure that meeting out and provide direction. I also have calendar items for self-reflection; I decided one at the beginning of the workweek, and one at the end of the workweek. Finally, I have two times at the beginning of each workday to just review my backlog items. All done with this. Finish planning goal 1 and do the same for the other 2 goals (this will be a recurring commitment, because the process takes time) (todo) As I just found the notepad, I'll keep this as a goal for tonight as well. I knew this one was going to be a recurring one. Take some time to physically write down the gym equipment needed for when we get a home Done and I'll bring it up to my wife tomorrow. This was an easy one to write down quick. Commitments for tomorrow: Finish planning goal 1 and do the same for the other 2 goals (this will be a recurring commitment, because the process takes time) (cont) Talk to my partner about some future investment options for a home gym And also schedule some time to get story ideas discussed together. gonna go meditate and maybe do some French lessons before bed. Night everyone!
