Day 381: No Useless Videos
Day 380: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 272: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 39: Being in bed before 23:15

3 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 pomodoros

1 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)

Day 40: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.

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 calories

1 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.

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 274: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 41: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-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 place

1 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

Day 42: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-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

Day 43: Being in bed before 23:15

3 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 friendly

1 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

1 Thing I could do better

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.

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-Doing laundry
-12 pomodoros
-Abs and roughly half back workout

1 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 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

-12 pomodoros (Day 28)
-Waking up at 04 15 and finishing all the week's workouts (Yay, not going into a further workout debt 🙂 )
-Going to bike store to replace break pads for bike

1 Thing I could do better 

-Got a little carried away at bike store, it took me 1 hour 15 minutes instead of the planned 40, next time plan to ask for additional questions time right after the task I go there to do, then, stick to that timeframe, don't be looking at the sales guy like he is the oracle and wait for remarks regarding bikes (I respect that guy he is a long time athlete, and in general care about my bike's well-being a lot, after all it was quite expensive and is my daily work vehicle)

Documenting where I lost time:
-11 minutes on planning day
-7 minutes on Daily entry
-10 more minutes on very casually dressing ( I suppose)
-40 minutes (aprox) on prolonging workout
-15 minutes preparing breakfast
-35 minutes going to bike shop+taking unplanned shower
-32 minutes on pomodoro breaks (mostly for preparing food)

Total 2 hours 30 minutes.

You're incredible with your time management. Coming out of high school with a faithful digital watch, I was doing alright too - but I basically sprinted around everywhere like I was living my gaming offline, when I could have been using a bicycle. Props.

Day 284: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 51: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-12 pomodoros (Day 29)
-Reducing almost everything from the day to make 40 deliveries and get the bonus (Even though I eventually didn't get it)
-At 22 30 instead of taking two more deliveries and not leaviing time for shower and teeth brush, dropping the last one(possibly two) deliveries

1 Thing I could do better 

-It seems like the political situation might affect the amount of deliveries, since(I assume) possibly people work less and so are willing to spend less on deliveries. Whatever the reason, it seems there are less deliveries. I should presume that when some political situation occurs in my line of work, I may get less deliveries per hour and plan accordingly. Do not assume that I will do 4 deliveries an hour, but assume 3 instead. Although I have been doing it, but I have been allowing myself to slack in that regard, because I saw that I manage to do the 40.

Documenting where I lost time:
Hopefully will write today yesterday's and today's details, not now because I want to fit within the 5 minute timeframe I've set for this entry

People around me have often said it at the end of speeches - google says it means 'due respect', and I agree. lol

Yeah, but I also remember going into the city on my own with a maps application for the first time, charging around trying to follow its directions, like a quest-guide on a game I could have worked out slowly on my own. Time I forgot there was, occasionally.

Day 394: No Useless Videos
Day 393: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 285: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 52: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-12 pomodoros (Day 30)
-Including some morning routine stuff in the afternoon after lunch to give more space betweeen lunch and deliveries
-Doing a lot of longer deliveries in adaptation to the situation of low demand

1 Thing I could do better 

-I woke up earlier for the third day in a row, thus cutting down sleep, the sleeptime in the last 4 days was 
19-20  --- 04h 15m
20-21 --- 05h 15m
21-22 --- 07h 15m
(22-23) --- 06h 45m

Remember that health is top priorty. Cutting down sleep is a lack of discipline and will turn out in less productivity in the long run.
Perhaps allow for less than 07h 30m once a week, but do not urn it into habit.
Especially now that I'm a candidate for jobs and want to have some of my mental power with me.


Documenting where I lost time:

21.10
2 minutes - day plan
12 minutes going to poop meditation time + some day plan remarks
10 minutes GQ entry
12 minutes preparing food morning
47 minutes during pomodoros
19 minutes somewhere in the organizing for delivery leaving time (unsure but fact is I left for deliveries 1h 42m later than planned
11 minutes coming back from deliveries
Total 1 hour 53 minutes

22.10
2 minutes planday
8 minutes GQ
2 minutes bed
10 minutes food prep 
1h 39m pomodoro time (Mainly 57 minutes for answering calls from potential jobs)
(Most other delays are for preparing food)

For some reason something was not completely documented and actual time lost was 1h 52m when leaving for deliveries (So I added 10 minutes somewhere)
5 minutes back from deliveries

Total Time lost 1h 57m

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-12 pomodoros (Day 31)
-cleaning at apartment (Floor and dust)
-Bringing water which I owe to apartment mate

1 Thing I could do better 

-I really must act on doing something because I know that by staying in this country and continuing courier work I am putting myself in a health-damaging situation. From tomorrow move visualization time to the morning and devote at least 15 minutes of it to job calls, or cv sending if I have no numbers to call



Documenting where I lost time:

7 min - plan day
18 min - Diary Entry
17 min - prep food and make bed which i didn't writein schedule
1 hr 24m during pauses Including

(33 at preplunch because of reactivity to a remark of apartment mate,
and letting myself be drawn to discussion as to how all the "highly successful people" are putting days and nights work, because of her discounting it as something they "inherently have' 
****Got to reduce the expectation that people will not think that way, especially her.
Forget trying to convince her, it is natural that people think that way, in order to justify their own inaction, she is just a representative, it's a great lesson for future remarks of people on the subject. If they wish to listen you may give your opinion in a very modest and controlled way, but not let it trigger myself to such a long emotional rant.)
22 minutes late from bringing water
10 min from cleaning apartment
Other 17 minutes were lost during  5 min visualization, and 12 more during finances room organizing and organizing for deliveries
Total time lost 2h 23m

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-12 pomodoros (Day 32)
-30 minute run with weight vest on, despite the pollutionbeingrelatively heavy (I might do short term harm, but in long term completing the minimum workout is more important)
-Going for a bike inspection

1 Thing I could do better 

-Lay in bed for 5 minutes? Haha, never works. Battle lost today. It is fine so long as it does not happen more than once.
Let the campaign against the lizard brain continue.



Documenting where I lost time:
GQ entry (+6)
Food prep(+3)
Calling human resources of 1 company which opens an insurance salesmen course at 25.10 (+5)
Bring second meal part (+4)
More calls to the same insurance company and messages and call bike shop (+10)
Taking call from human resource company which may give me job suggestions (+6)
Bike inspection (+18)
More communications with potential jobs (This time two other places not just the 1 before)
45 minutes during pomodoros (Including 31 minutes because of a siren of bombing)
- 16 lost becase pomodoro cut in middle, 5 minutes more for goingforth and back and eating some nuts
From here on no documentation.
But I dozed off for 2 hrs and 45 minutes and just barely woke up on time tomake a minimal run accidentally

Estimated time lost:  4h 28m

Day 397: No Useless Videos
Day 396: Sticking to Food schedule
Day 0: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 55: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-12 pomodoros (Day 33)
-Waking up at 4 00 in order to manage to do yesterday's workout (Completed partly - The harder parts)
-Because of being late from going to store, reducing nutrition to a plan as if it was only workout day, and going down from the three hours deliveries (Since I completed the workout norm today, and ate a meal plan as if it was only a workout day, It is within my values)

1 Thing I could do better 

-It is better to sleep 7hrs and 7 hrs in two days rather than 10hours and 4 hours. Remember that the next time you want to lay in bed for "5 minutes" (Yes it was not today but yesterday, but i still want to focus on that.)

Important Note:
As you can see, My eating time streak is reset. It happened because I got very carried away with trying to fit 3 hours of deliveries, and noticed that I was eating at 19 02 only after the fact. 
Plus having 4 hours of sleep really does not contribute to focus (As I wrote in the 1 thing I could improve) - I also forgot to do a mental checklist before leaving the storeto make sure I didn't forget something, which also partly happened because of lack of sleep. Well, the streak was reset, but life doesn't, forward we go!

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-12 pomodoros (Day 34)
-Completing abs workout
-Overcoming sleep urge

1 Thing I could do better 

-When having a sleep urge think "I'm gonna start very chill and warm up so I may start right now. It's a piece of cake," instead of trying to convince myself for 40 minutes and doing everything slowly to unconsciously avoid the start. (Or shall I say consciously already)

Everything stays the same as in the entry of 11.10, apart from the fact that when sunflower seeds are out I may replace them gram for gram with walnuts, if spinach is out, no replacing it.

Another question for you: when you say you are doing pomodoros, what kinds of activities are you doing? When I set my pomodoros, I only do so during the workday but wondering if I should expand that. Do you set them when you are cooking, etc.?
