    • Entry 6.12 (Written on 7.12) Day 797: No Useless Videos Day 795: Sticking to Food schedule Day 398: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00) Day 101: Being in bed before 23:15 3 Things I did well no matter how small -put pants on as planned yesterday, even though I dosed off nonetheless. -Ignoring the fact that apartment mate ate my orange and used my hand towel for now with all his blood and nasal congestion, I see he's not very well now, tomorrow at our apartment conversation I'll ask him about it, to wash the towel and buy me a new orange. -Planned 08.12 yet again, even though it's at night 1 thing I could do  better -Turn david goggins video on when I feel the urge to sleep. In the long term I just must tend to a nutritionist. I'm messing up my health with this bulk eating together, I'm quite sure of it.
    • All good, but please post every once in a while that you are on track with your therapy and recovery.

See if that works
    • Thu 12.5 Daily Goals No mobile games: 225 days No compulsive social media use: 63 days No compulsive research: 63 days No passive screen time before bed, first thing in the morning, or at work: 65 days Today was a bit of a weird day, in the middle of a snowstorm and schools got closed today. My kids stayed home, and I took a half day. Things I want to do every day to stay healthy Sleep - Slept pretty well from 11pm - 6:40am Mediation - I've been slacking on meditation, which is not a good thing. I really need to commit to doing this in the morning or during my work breaks. Instead I've been focusing on just lying down and decompressing my thoughts. In a way it's a form of meditation… I guess, now that I'm writing about it. Maybe I need to be kinder to myself, even if I don't do a guided meditation. Practice French - I did one lesson today in the morning. I'll see if I go with more after journaling. Read a book - I'd rather read though before bed. Which is something I haven't done yet today. As I mostly focused on… Exercise - I took a half day in the morning, so I stayed home with the kids entertaining them due to the snow day. Part of this involved doing exercises with the TV, they both jumped in and tried following along. I got my exercise in while entertaining them. Kids - see above Nutrition Boiled eggs for breakfast Leftover chicken for lunch Beef burgers for dinner Hygiene - I had a shower after working out, will brush after publishing this. Partner - brought up the trip thing but it was busy with the kids to talk about it. We did say that we'll talk about it tomorrow Journal - I need to focus more on doing this to decompress too tbh. Today was a weird and short day due to the snow storm though, keeping the kids home. I will say though that a good win today was not getting overwhelmed due to the snowstorm. That was helpful to take a half day in the morning. I dunno if I will do that tomorrow (it's still snowing hard out there) but knowing this is an option and that my manager will understand is good. Commitments Continue working on work project I'll be working on this throughout this week and next. Today I still made progress and I'm glad that I If possible, continue with the screen time Yeah no this did not happen with kids home in the morning. I'm not even sure if I'll continue it tomorrow or this weekend. How important is it that I do this relative to my other stuff? Well honestly not as much as getting back on track with the 7 Habits and the above. So maybe this is something to drop. Holiday trip plans With the kids home it was not something easy to find time to discuss. Tomorrow will be better. Commitments for tomorrow Continue working on work project Get back on track with meditation and reading 7 Habits long term goals (maybe)
    • Thanks Patrick, Im not going to be a loser tomorrow. No social media crap and no self pity. My friend will judge a medieval sword fight tournament. I want to go and see it.
