This is a great habit. I've been doing this as well and you feel so much better in the morning when the only thing you have to do is put them away.
Yep, but my apartment mates sometimes wash everything, making it hard for me to form a habit xD
The problems of today's generation......... lol-

-Doing laundry
-12 pomodoros
-Abs and roughly half back workout1 Thing I could do better
-Reduce the time in between beginning the workout and the workout, and warmup and main set.
-Then, when having extra time in the end, use that to write the GQ entry and plan next day in the evening, since I'm slipping for planning in the morning again for a few days already.-

Day 43: Being in bed before 23:153 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-Taking last delivery before 22 00
-12 pomodoros
-Maintaining cool, and lowering my own expectations, + trying to see situations from the poin of people who were mad at me (Apartment mate and one guy who was preparing a delivery from me and for some reason got a wrong impression of me so kept barking at me) Next time I came, I believe that because I maintained calm, (and even tried to get him aboard with my mission - telling him that if we may get this delivery faster I'll possibly get another one, and showing him on the app the fact that there's potentially another one waiting) the interaction felt more friendly1 Thing I could do better
-Remember tomorrow's coaching meeting and set alarm clock even earlier, though I did set it quite early, but subconscious had not much time (or at least could have more) to work on getting to that coaching meeting

-Fixing puncture, even though many shops are closed because of the bad political situation
-3 hour deliveries
-Adjusting my schedule because I accidentally ate an apple from dinner (Which I'm supposed to do only on courier days, by an earlier definition)1 Thing I could do better
-Write down the exact way you split the meals into breakfast and lunch, so that you wouldn't need to hink of it (I've been adhering to the overall amounts or less, but not necessarily the meal where I eat it, for example, I often move foods in between meals to avoid eating vitamin C and Iron rich foods together because they cancel each other out according to what I've read

-Wrote things for the next day's plan, in order not to forget them in a note on the phone just as i do with grocery and apartment conversations.
-After bike shift finishing the one exercise I lacked from the chest workout of yesterday.
-Writing message to a desired job place1 Thing I could do better
-Start momentum of effectiveness in the morning by not deviating from any of your schedule written tasks at all,
Just the fact I dweviated from it and asked the apartment mate to get me some stuff from store which lacked when I went yesterday, got momentum going in the wrong direction and I endedup finishing morning routine an hour late.
With this Hour I could possibly go to store twice... So it definitely is not worth it to deviate from schedule-

-Despite being a potato and sleeping for about 30 minutes on time that was supposed to be workout,
And two bombing alerts, managing to make an almost complete chest workout (apart for one exercise.
-12 pomodoros
-25 minutes looking for nutrition substitutes ti maintain mineral balance and still take in more calories1 Thing I could do better
-Devote 10 minutes to planning the exact order of purchase, It will save double that at the very least I believe.
Food Schedule Update
Breakfast:
Orange - 1 piece
Tomato - 1 piece
Cucumber - 1 piece
Edamame - 100 grams

Salt - about 2 grams
Lunch:
Banana - 1 piece
Peas - 100 grams

Walnuts -20g40g

Apple - 1 piece
Carrot - complete to 2-3 pieces
Cranberries - 17g (Cooked, not to be eaten Raw)

Dates -60g80g
Salt - 1g
Notes:
1. To finish my Sunflower seeds, Spinach and Rice Stocks, I'll continue the old schedule on fridays and saturdays, Where I burn the most calories.
Once out of any of the ingredients, continue doing it this way, then throw away or give away rice (Since there is enough there to last for a year perhaps( If I cook 140g every week, and I have a bit less than two 1.4kg bags it will take 20 weeks, and I want the changes to take place a lot faster. - something like 4 weeks, because I have 800g of spinach.
2. If there's a day where I do my minimum 3 hour ride and some workout on top, no need to skip dinner.
3. For the next workout Day I shall eat 30g dates because I accidentally cooked ittogether with lentils and would not want it to spoil.
The changes are due to my weight drop and biometrics being:
on 10.10
Height: 174 cm
Weight: 56.0
BMI:18.5
Previously on 21.09
Weight 57.4
For that reason adding some calories, despite it being an increase in high GI foods and overconsumption of Maganese-

Day 39: Being in bed before 23:153 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-Bought an avocado from an apartment mate instead of buying it at three times the price at the close store (Because I accidentally got less than I needed)
-3 hours and 20 minutes of deliveries
-12 pomodoros1 Thing I could do better
-Yet again went to sleep without adhering to the 1 hour before sleep guideline I've set here.
I think it might be because it is not a very realistic guideline and I know it.
because if it takes one hour I'm usually already at the next meal, and I will not go to sleep after the next meal.
So I'd like to make it two pomodoros (The one during which I'm feeling sleepy, and after the next I may nap for about 15-30 minutes)-

-Sticking to two meals still, to test whether the acid reflux is what contributes most to my cough
-Drinking bottled water from mostly clean bottles to see if that helps the cough
-12 pomodoros1 Thing I could do better
-Call potential jobs in the morning. Handing in CVs is just too passive (That is also a method for me to reduce work as a courier which is very likely also a cause for polluted air inhalation)

I like that you plan for the next day. How do you feel that affects your motivation, mindset, and success? Are you finding it helps you follow through? Interested because I might want to try the same.
I used to do weekly plans, those are the most effective in my opinion, but lately didn't have enough discipline to keep implementing.
That said, of course I believe planning a day in advance is more beneficial
-For one you may plan how many hours you need to accomplish what you want, and wake up accordingly and proactively
-Another benefit is that your subconscious goes to work on your next day tasks during the night
-In combination with putting a stopwatch for my tasks and hitting it to see exactly how much each of them took I earn just boatloads of time.
When you know what needs to be done and in what period of time it is absolutely more effective
Those are some benefits that came to mind-

-completing 40 delivery norm just barely, despite having about 6-8 sirens throughout the day, which burned time
-12 pomodoros
-Doing visualization in some of the bombardments which allowed me to use time with less waste1 Thing I could do better
I believe the coughing as a helluva lot better since i started sleeping with some elevation and going easier on the bike if I feel full, that said two days ago I coughed after drinking just water and felt some throat irritation.
I previously tested and proved that it might be due to the plastic bottles that are dissembling because of the heat,
but, because I also felt it today in the morning when drinking it from a cup and what my apartment mate said about the general quality of water I assume the source of water itself may also be a problem(the filtered water I have at home.) Perhaps I shall use the Brita filter I have despite the water being filtered -

Day 35: Being in bed before 23:153 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-Omitting dates and cranberries from dinner, because even though they're cooked, they gave me teeth pains as expected the first time I ate them as planned during dinner
-Making videos in order to send to the pollution mask support team
-Having planned the next day in advance yet again!!!1 Thing I could do better
Background: I didn't drink water today as I mentioned in the 03.10 entry one hour right after food. But I am now connecting the cough and chest pain to acid reflux after all, since it has been a while that I'm eating a lot, and I also eat a relatively heavy dinner Right in the middle of a bike riding shift, so it makes a lot of sense, especially because I noticed the throat pain and coughing came after it yesterday, even though it was a small one.
Action: Separate dinner in between the two other meals and eat nothing in the shift itself. Just drink water.-

-Having written a mail to the compeny which sold me the mask, to ask them if my throat pain may be related to mask and filter fitting, and if they could help me replace it for a reduced cost because of it.
-12 pomodoros
-Planning the next day in advance1 Thing I could do better
Drink water one hour after food straight away, not wait 2 or 3 hours, the cause for the throat pain might just be dryness in the throat because of the mask. Test that

-Full Chest and back and leg workout (Apart for one back exercise)
-12 pomodoros
-Having planned the day before even brushing teeth and measuring how much every activity took by putting on a stopwatch and hitting the mark button every time i pass a planned activity, it seemed to make me a lot more effective1 Thing I could do better
Background+Action: My cough persists, it is a week and a half now.
Out of the many causes and solution, the simplest is to try and move the peanut butter to breakfast, since it might be the combination of tahini and olive oil that contributes to it among other factors. And I'm remindiong you that I'm allowed to do it, since the obligation of sticking to schedule entails not crossing the overall daily boundries upwards. Lets try this out - since I'm writing only one thing here, that would be it. Tomorrow next ste; shall follow.

Day 29: Being in bed before 23:153 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-8 pomodoros for my own stuff, 5 pomodoros for Fiverr
-Purchasing a job website membership for about 15$ and sending 5 CVs - Even if It allowed me to send one extra CV it could be worth it, for it may allow me to find a job quicker, which may save me a boatload more than 15$
-Put mushrooms on the oven tray, instead of plastic ones1 Thing I could do better
-Change my pollutoion mask filter (I've been wearing it since 27.07, now is 30.09. it states that it needs 4-14 week change depending on how I use it, and I bet I use it more than the average person.
What triggers me is that I'm coughing again after a ride, where I felt a lot of smells. I first attributed it to a lack of vacuum between the mask and face, or the fact that the mask is too big for me, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that earlier. In any case, it's worth a shot.
If I were to die tomorrow, would I be content with what I plan to do today?
I beleive so, In any case I want to finish this entry quick. So I won't get too deep on that...-

-Full abs workout, and a part of the back exercises
-Doing 12 pomodoros (day 7) - 4 of them devoted to the Fiverr gig
-Finances and clean room time in the morning1 Thing I could do better
-When placing mushrooms in the sun to absorb vitamin D,=, put them on the iron tray from the oven, not thei plastic boxes they come in (it probably melts and might be the reason I've been feeling throat pain after eating them)
Afterwards, may place them back in their original boxes or a separate plastic box
Free thought:
Yesterday a close distant relative passed away.
An opportunity to express the thought "Memento Mori"
And ask myself: If I were to die tomorrow, would I be thrilled with what I'm planning to do today?
Since my main values are
Health
Financial Freedom
Independence
My day includes -
1. Courier on regular bike about 6 hours, + food schedule. A little hitting the sleep, but it's fine so long as it's temporary
2. Doing a fiverr gig which contributes mto my learning of systems, and cooperation with others which may in turn help me apply those in my own projects.
3. Could be working a bit more toward independence, as I haven't sent enough job requests. Get the damn membership for 15$ at the job site. Even if it only allows me to send a CV to a few more jobs, if there's a chance of finding a job faster, it's totally worth it!-

Day 390: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 282: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 49: Being in bed before 23:15
3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-12 pomodoros (Day 27)
-Sending a few CVs when extra tired
-Despite the "weak" voice in my mind which was asking me to postpone workout to sunday
Background: Which happened because I only had about 3 hours and a half left of theplanned 5 because of waking up at 08 15 instead of the usual 07 15 (I planned for it in the day before to get 8 hous of sleep) and then also because of answering a call almost at the end of a pomodoro mainly, among other things...
1 Thing I could do better
-Place some parts of morning routine in the afternoon(change routine, in order to have a bigger space between lunch and bike riding as a courier/workout when I'll have it in other days in order to prevent acid reflux
Documenting where I lost time:
-1 minute in cooking edamame in the morning
-2 minutes in Gratitude and other prompts of think and grow rich
-8 minutes while making outgoing call to a potential job place(insurance agency
-15 minutes (30 instead of 15) while preparing meal in morning (not cooking on stove)
-13 minutes for receiving call from potential job place
-29 minutes another call from potential job place
-14 other stretches of pauses
-15 minutes preparing dinner (no cook)
Total 1 hour 37 minutes.
Edit: All that is just until about 18 00, after that I didn't write down measures. (Probably some time was lost in visualization,and plates
