Day 542: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 90: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well no matter how small 
-8 Concentrated work units
-8 theory units
-1 hour weekly plan, just write daily plan with slight adjustments in an excel sheet (I mean just including it in the plan, not actually doing it yet)

1 Thing I could do better
-Change food preparation to a bit more divided to have more spaces in between foods because I am experiencing  hand dryness and heaviness after dinner.

Even though omitting olive oil seems to help, now I believe it's the volume so let's see if i separat the meals with enough of a space liek 3.5 hours it will help.

-Make SPI and eat sessions more frequent than blog and eat, guess that's the only thing I manage to do more or less effectively eat and consume content sort of. This may also benefit that i\ll start creating the habit of actually concentrated pomodoros

Food schedule update 24.4-8.5(Not including 8.5) 
1. uncooked rice to be replaced with 350g of potatoes for the next two weeks. (once the cooked rice runs out so that I have a full two weeks to measure one vs. the other, no need to cook the remaining dry rice. If I wish, I may cook it the week after if I decide to return with more rice, and measure that it'll be exactly enough by the end of the next schedule change)
2. dropped 10g of edamame now 230 daily.
3. Also if I am to run in the morning on Thursday, the schedule is to remain as the other week without changing the day order
4. 10g of almonds to be added daily on top of what already was added
May still be edited until 24.4

Food Schedule Update 8.5-21.5 (Including 21.5)
Everything remains the same except for: 
1. 50g of chard on non fasting days - because of the antioxidants and because a nutritionist suggested it to me
2. interchange the food plan completely in between monday and tuesday, because i often have more tasks on tuesday and i end up stuffing all the foods together. start with doing it only in the second week, and if it works, expand it for both weeks in the next iteration
3. I may eat an extra orange at the next running day on sunday - just because i forgot to eat it on the previous iteration because of the change in between days

Last weight measurement 53.85kg on 2.5

How the week that is changed will look
Sunday - run
Monday - run + half
Tuesday - non run
Wednesday - fast
Thursday - non run
Friday - run + half
Saturday - non run

1 Thing I could do better
-In the conversation with apartment mate, insist a bit more on a structure for the conversation when he said "let's just do it like regular, and not fold straight away. Nonetheless make it more general, start with 15 minutes for his issues and 15 minutes for mine, he can talk about whatever he wants in his 15 minutes. That's already a start of a structure and may help maintain the 30 minute limit.

Yes it does count. 

Self centered business people prefer keeping their business small and managed themselves rather than allow partners in who can disagree with them. I knew a businessman that personally checked the work of his employees to be sure its of high standard. Self centered people don't like compromises and shared decision making.

The author of this book says principles centre is the hardest centre to have, but the best one. People that are heavily grounded in work, but then lose it due to circumstances outside their control can become negative he claims. The principles centre does not allow any one thing (like games, work or spouse) to become too big a part of you.

What's the name of the book?

Day 555: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 103: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well no matter how small 
-8 Concentrated work units
-Following theory guidance course during the exam (Breathing before it, following the finger as i read, excluding the negative answers and not just saying why the correct ones are right, reviewing the whole exam once i finished with attention)
-38ish hour fast

1 Thing I could do better
Background: The first day I didn't do theory in the evening and I got extra sleepy, dozed off at 20 59 approximately and woke up at 23 18 approximately
23 18 23 28 was regaining senses
23 28 - 00 05~ washing dishes
00 05 - 00 25~ brushing teeth
00 25 01 38 planning next day, doing pomodoro count document, and about 30 minutes checking theory results and studying alternatives to reduce needed practice lessons + answering the feedback of the theory platform i studied with
The thing to do better: 
As I started feeling sleepy, after finishing the current pomodoro, make a contingency in a document that says I'm allowed to start washing dishes, brushing teeth and evening routine earlier in case of extreme sleepiness and falling asleep on keyboard.
Why?
Because first If I sleep and then do it, first the sleep is not continuous but with a break in between, Second because once I'm out of schedule I do everything slower, double the time so it seems.
Third I do everything slower because night hormones also play a role and the body is more predisposed to sleep. (Maybe it's more reason two than three that i do thing slower, but both play somewhat of an effect)

Thursday - non run
Friday - run + half
Saturday - non run

Food Schedule Update 22.5-6.6 (Not including 6.6)
Everything remains the same apart from
1. 70g rice which i may consume on Saturday (or as much as there is left in the rice bag, because I just don't want to throw it out)
2. coconut oil - 30 at non-running days(Instead of 60g olive oil), 60 on running days instead of 30 and 60g olive oil, meaning Sundays usually
3. Olive oil, allowed only on run and a half days 60 grams, on these days, coconut oil remains 45g
4. The moving of meals for Monday with the run and a half I am to keep as it is for now only one week where I do a jog on Thursday, I think one week wasn't enough to gauge it's effect and decide whether to keep it for the two weeks or reverse completely to not do it at all
5. Almonds 10 more grams everyday because I'm increasing the running amount

6. because i got a different chard type eat up to 2 leaves of those a day until they run out, then 50g a day of the second type (fast days keep no chard on them)

7. Pears are interchangeable with apples, that's what I have planned to begin with and that's what I have, I don't even have any other fruit, so it shouldn't count as a plan change, rather just a clarification.

Edited May 22 by Yan
Added point 6 before starting to eat(so the schedule hasnt started yet :) and clarification 7
