8:30 AM — Woke up late after a late night, and eased into the morning. Decided to work from home.
~11 AM — Had Chick-fil-A. Later on, Popeyes too — today basically turned into a binge-eating day. Ended up around 2,600+ calories with zero exercise. Stayed home all day and didn't get much done for work; no LF work at all.
~1 PM — Something surprising came in around midday — my promo nomination seems to be moving further along than I expected. Feeling a little cautiously hopeful about it.
Evening — Cleaned up the apartment and aired it out again, which continues to feel life-changing. I genuinely didn't know airing it out regularly would make this much difference to how the place feels.
~9 PM — Finished a book, Best Offer Wins — didn't love it, honestly, but I was glad to be reading instead of watching TV or losing time to short-form video.
What I realized
- I really need to cut back on short-form video — it kept coming up today as the thing eating my time.
- A lot of today's struggle came down to lack of routine. I did well with structure back in California, so I want to rebuild some kind of routine over the next few days and see how it goes.
- I've been pretty antisocial and reclusive lately — not responding to friends or reaching out. Want to turn that back up.
- Without some balance and predictability in my day, things turn to mush fast. Getting back on the horse tomorrow.
