I've been doing that for a while. I think the easiest solution is to just use Ctrl+S and save the webpage on my computer locally. I have all 50+ pages of my diary saved. That way, I know my writing will not be lost 🙂 

Yeah but the site needs to be up for you to access them... I'd like to have an independent copy.

-9 focused units
 

1 Thing I could do  better
-Apart from dozing off in the evening - the biggest schedule delay was 40 minutes during food prep. Try to stay focused and i think it will be eliminated

3 Things I did well no matter how small 
-Morning jog
-evening routine right after dinner even though I was missing a part of an event. I think maintaining the habit is incredibly important long term, and if I wouldn' have done it the momentum would make me postpone it till the morning and I'd wake up late again as I did last two Wednesdays, at least it would increase the likelihood of that happening
-at least 4 focused units
 

1 Thing I could do  better
-Having put cooking in schedule and give it 20 minutes just in case

-Morning workout: Back shoulders, stairs
-Pulling through the whole day without taking naps even though i slept about 2 hours 50minutes yesterday and then about the same length after a break

1 Thing I could do better
-If i doze off and wake up to continue evening routine, limit myself to the time I had for it in the schedule in the first place. not a minute longer. I ended up being awake more than 3 hours instead of finishing theroutine in 45 minutes

-4 pomodoros and 3 SPIs
 

1 Thing I could do better
-Write the delay times in the schedule itself to make it simpler to make the evening detailed Pomodoro report

1 Thing I could do better
-Exercise 4 in the workbook might be a bit too complicated and is bogging me down. I already wrote it so I think I'll follow through, but should probably stick to simpler exercises further along [ Just a thought - Maybe I should cut it right now and stop delaying?]

Food Schedule update 27.2-13.3(Not including 13.3)
1. Coconut oil still instead of peanut butter (Since I still assume peanut butter is frequent in having negative effects on skin, and with coconut oil the micro and macro nutrient goals are still achieved, so even though it's more expensive, I give that less weight than health.)
2. Raisins still instead of dates from now on (Dates simply ran out and that was the plan when i bought a stock of both)
3. black sesame increased from 8 grams to 25 grams (because i suspect i don't have enough calcium)

Note: If I see some negative health effects I may change the second week (starting from 6.3 Thursday and till the end of this bi weekly plan)

Food schedule update 13.3-27.3  (Not including 27.3)
1. Returning peanut butter instead of coconut oil 1 per 1 gram because it seems it didn't change the eczema situation
2. Black sesame 15g instead of 25g - because they're expensive and it seems that 12 is enough to get enough calcium
3. eat 10g chia and 10g flax instead of 20g chia
4. On Thursday after the fast day - because the workout is to be in the evening, leave the schedule as on non-running days until my quick running day during which it shall be returned to be as it is now to clarify:
How it is now
Sunday - Run
Monday - Regular
Tuesday - Run and a half
Wednesday - Fast
Thursday - Run and a half
Friday - Regular
Saturday - Regular


How it shall be after the update
Sunday - Run
Monday - Regular
Tuesday - Run and a half
Wednesday - Fast
Thursday - Regular
Friday - Run and a half
Saturday - Regular

If I see that the eczema is increasing as a result of the change or if i have any other ideas that may improve eczema, may change schedule again on 20.03 till 27.3 (not including 27.3)

Added in the evening(11.3):

How it shall be the second week after update [ basically like it is now ]
Sunday - Run
Monday - Regular
Tuesday - Run and a half
Wednesday - Fast
Thursday - Run and a half
Friday - Regular
Saturday - Regular

Also:
1. have two tomatoes instead of 1.5, and 2.5 the first day (13.3)
2. points 2 and three of earlier (15 black sesame, 10, 10 chia/flax) shall start on 14.3 instead of 13.3 because already had breakfast prepared from before i made this plan change
same thing about almonds at breakfast. Only for this day, additional 16grams are allowed

3 Things I did well no matter how small 
-having turned off quinoa at the 50 minutes point without mixing it manually. Only a little bit after 30 minutes more when i added water because it looked a bit dry.  it seems it has been quite well cooked. (I think i should use the same ingredient amounts and try turning it off without fixing at the 45 minute point next time) Note: The pot used was a wide one but half height of the gray one - documentiing that to help me repeat results next week.
-wake up at 4 20 even though 20 minutes later than first alarm clock, it could have easily become hours
-Having taken a photo of the schedule on my phone, so that i wouldn't have to open the computer to see the plan when i came back from the run
 

1 Thing I could do better
-Allocate times in the schedule for cooking that are a bit longer and for putting pots into the fridge.

3 Things I did well no matter how small 
-Staying in the room a lot to avoid unnecessary itneractions with apartment mate
-Finishing my small (Apparently not so small because it took me till last pomodoro) commitment to my mastermind to finish the first draft of the script
-Afternoon workout
 

1 Thing I could do better
-That's actually sort of regarding yesterday: I feel I'd better reduce the heating advice usage and open the window a bi more to reduce dryness in the room and dozeing off prematurely in the evening.
That is because I then woke up accidentally in the middle of the night,, and in the middle f the night my thoughts were a lot more clouded and somehow the evening routine took me 3 hours instead of 50 minutes, which of course affected my next day because of reduced sleep amount

one mroe addition which i wrote earlier this morning before the food schedule started but for some reason it didn't post. tomorrow I'd like to have 20grams of chia because i accidentally poured 20g, and i still didn't start the schedule when i first wrote this, so it's an allowed change
