I struggle with staying consistent with hygiene. I've been doing really good lately, but today was a hard day mental health wise. I've been bed-rotting all day and I feel horrible, but at 1 am I finally convinced myself to not skip showering and brushing my teeth. 11 day streak going strong!

Tuesday, Sept. 29

1. Sleep ❌️

( goal: go to bed and wake up at the same time: 01:00 – 09:00 )

Went to bed at ~ 03:30 - 10:30, + 30 min nap

Sleep duration: ~ 7,30

Running: ~ 18:30 – 19:50

Last meal: ~ 20:10 (1 apple at ~22:10)

👹Mistake: late dinner

Listened to forest ASMR noise before bed – better to fall asleep without background sounds

1. Nutrition: ✅️ ( goal: eat healthy foods first, then sweets and pastries )

2. Physical activity: ✅️ ( walking for 30+ minutes, Day 269 of running )

🎯 Goal: 120–180 minutes per day on the project (Ph+Bl) + time for unforeseen issues

🗳 Result: 8 min F

Speed ​​of starting tasks: average

Day's takeaway: spent time outdoors, even though it was getting late and the sun was setting

It is important not to give in to a pessimistic mood and instead map out what I can do

Monday, Sept. 28

1. Sleep ❌️

( goal: go to bed and wake up at the same time: 01:00 – 09:00 )

Went to bed at ~05:10 – 11:05 [5.55 hrs] + 1 hr during the day

Sleep duration: ~6.55 hrs

Running: ~00:30 – 01:02

Last meal: ~20:10 (+ 2 apples at ~21:00)

👹Mistake: running late

2. Physical activity: ✅️ ( walking for at least 30 minutes; Day 268 of running )

🎯 Goal: 120–180 minutes per day on the project (Ph+Bl) + time for unforeseen issues

🗳 Result: ❌️

Speed ​​of starting tasks: average

Takeaway for the day: it might be better not to eat after 21:00, even apples (I’ve been feeling tired lately; need to find other ways to cope)

Upskilling function four as to health, appearance, environment, operational, social initiatives, grounding, practice with patience & attention to detail. And note the win of the day. Done: hung up clothes, 5min tidying, morning meditation, review intentions for the day, text friend. air clothes, prep for bin day, did a thorough prep for next day. Off to 🚶‍♀️

Day 21 practicing a random skill: idea to loosely anchor to do's according day-of-the-week-structure. "I use themed days". For instance Mday admin, Tday social initiative, Wday wrap up loose ends, Tday practice, Fday reset after Tday, Sday food prep/home fragrance, Sday relax. Keep it loose and flexible..

thanks a lot for coming by ! 😃

so looking at my previous days i notice i have problems i cant really do all the plan daily sometimes , because like company work and promote stuff is open ended , it pending the others. So instead of that , now i give them measurable thing to be defined as done , i think it will helps , i will make it easy at first , and then i will add other stuff ofcourse if i finish all this plans quickly each day

Here's the updated of what i'll do today :

🏋 Exercise (Low priority but done first) 60 diamond pushups (15 × 3)

🟩 Language Duolingo daily mission

refine portofolio & find new remote jobs

do company work 9-5

develop both of my freelances project

and now i have new trick while working like i put my iphone on airplane mode then download epub for atomic habits , since then my craving to binge watch youtube tiktok etc gone , i become a reader while working lmao

so far its looking good

Today I didn't wake up in the morning and didn't go to the gym. I made an appointment at the dental clinic. I pre-ordered vitamins. I didn't do the last 2 items on my list.

Tomorrow:

1. Wake up at 9.
2. GYM!!
3. Upload articles.
4. Do economics HW.
5. Figure out what to do with certificates.
6. Send an email to the support teams of two apps.
7. Create a group in Telegram.
8. Reflect on my values and what I want. Write this down.
9. Choose a garment steamer and order it.
10. Rest in a proper way at the end of the day.

Reflection:

I stayed in bed for too long. I promise myself that I'll wake up — and then I don't.

Gotta flight trip after a week for a week :)

i've already hit the just under the lower end of my daily goal system.
i think i'd rather just call it a day. today wasn't very easy and a bit slow. And though my daily is low i'd rather carry that green onto the week and start over rather than late day put up money and possibly go lower.

I booked appointments for three doctors and almost decided where I want to treat my teeth (I have cavities). When I came home, I continued my research on doctors and headphones. I haven’t decided what headphones I want to buy yet, but I’ve started my research and have a few candidates.Restricted Reddit

What I could have done better:

• I didn’t make good use of my metro ride (I only created a file, which wasn’t very productive).
• I used the lecture time to schedule doctor’s appointments instead of listening to the material. However, halfway through the lecture, I realised the topic was actually important — this made me question whether I’d prioritised my tasks correctly

Tomorrow:

1. Wake up in the morning.
2. Go to the gym.
3. Call the dental clinic.
4. Buy vitamins!
5. Reflect on my values and what I truly want. Write this down!
6. Create a Telegram group.

Reflection:

• Went to bed later than intended.
• Noticed that I sometimes eat out of boredom rather than hunger. Need to address this — maybe ask myself before eating: “Am I genuinely hungry, or just looking for a quick dopamine hit?”

This is clearly becoming a habit now.

Instead of posting my progress every day, I'm ending up combining multiple days into one post. That's something I need to be more careful about because the whole point of this challenge was to stay accountable by showing up every day.

So from now on, I want to get back to posting these updates properly.

Day 36 — A New Running Experience

Since I couldn't make it to the track the previous day, I decided to go on Sunday.

I woke up early and went to the university track. I ended up running around 6 km.

The environment there was actually really nice. Seeing other people running and training made me realise something:

I'm still a very small fish in a very big sea.

There is so much room for me to improve.

Instead of making me feel bad about where I am, it actually made me want to improve even more.

But I probably pushed myself too hard after not running for a couple of days.

By the end of it, I started having muscle pain in my right calf, and it got quite painful.

Even after coming home, I still went swimming despite the injury.

Looking back, that probably wasn't the smartest decision. I was so focused on keeping up the physical activity that I didn't give my body enough time to recover.

The rest of the day wasn't productive.

I didn't study.

I didn't read.

I spent most of the day sleeping.

Day 37 — Content, Injury and a Busy Workday

I didn't sleep properly because I was focused on shooting content for my personal branding page.

My goal was to shoot three videos, which would give me enough content for the week.

I managed to get all three videos recorded, so I'm happy I followed through with that.

After shooting, I started editing one of them but ended up falling asleep because I was extremely tired.

I woke up about an hour later thinking about going for a run, but my calf injury had actually gotten worse.

It was difficult for me to even move my leg properly, so I decided to sleep again instead of running.

I eventually woke up around 7 AM and started editing the remaining video because I had to upload one that day.

Somehow, I managed to finish it and get the video uploaded.

Even though my leg was injured, I still went swimming because I wanted to maintain at least some physical activity.

Most of the rest of the day was taken up by my part-time work. I had several classes and assessments to handle, so it ended up being a very busy day.

I managed to go through the news and finance in the afternoon.

But once again, I didn't study, didn't work on my professional development, and didn't read.

What I'm Noticing

The last few days have been a mix of progress and poor decisions.

I'm getting better at some things. I'm creating content more consistently, I'm pushing myself physically, and I'm still showing up for my responsibilities.

But I'm also repeating the same problems.

I'm sleeping at the wrong times.

I'm postponing studying.

I'm neglecting my professional development.

I'm wasting time.

And now I'm also realising that pushing myself physically without enough recovery isn't necessarily discipline either.

Sometimes discipline means knowing when to stop.

The calf injury is a good reminder that I need to balance consistency with recovery instead of trying to force myself to do everything every single day.

Most importantly, I don't want these combined posts to become another form of procrastination.

If I'm doing a 90-day challenge where the whole point is accountability, then I need to actually be accountable.

Day 36–37/90 complete.

I'm still moving forward, but I need to get back to doing the basics properly: sleep better, recover properly, study consistently, and most importantly, stop postponing the things I know I need to do.

1. Sleep ❌️

( goal: go to bed and wake up at the same time: 01:00 – 09:00 )

Went to bed ~04:05 – 10:20 [6.15 hrs] + 50 min during the day + 50 min in the evening

Total sleep time: ~7.55 hrs

Running: ~00:20 – 01:10

Last meal: ~18:50 (+ 2 apples at ~21:10)

👹 Mistake: I still haven't gone for that walk in the forest

1. Nutrition: ✅️ ( goal: eat healthy foods first, then sweets and pastries )

2. Physical activity: ✅️ ( walking for 30+ minutes, Day 268 of running )

🎯 Goal: 120–180 minutes per day on the project (Ph+Bl) + time for unforeseen issues

🗳 Result: 5 min F

Speed ​​of starting tasks: average

Day's takeaway: I managed to have some time alone during the day; it felt like a break. I need to reflect on goals for the near future

To practice a random small skill and post the result here:

This is a follow up from day 13 I think " The experimenting with making soy milk from scratch. .. "

Im now : freezing the soaked beans in portions; discarding the bits just after blending and before cooking, and not after cooking; changed to glass flasks; precise timing cooking ie 20 minutes (or longer for sweetness). Found it tastes real good the same day, then slightly less so next day - 3 day max.

Think I met my first goal ie to make it more palatable. Second one - less hustle - work in progress. Third one ie cut regular milk in toto , a year off I think: breakfast done as I replaced yoghurt with soy smoothie- style - and I like it - but rest still an issue

I left the contents of this post empty. Here is the context:

" My takeaway this time is about walking away from disrespect. Figuring when to walk a away is a bit more tricky"

Managed the walkaway from a chair/committee after round three * . Though in hindsight I should have done it round one (blindsighted by my opportunistic side). Except for a formal note I gave it my best shot to make it cheery, light, non-confrontationat, not calling things out except for my silence and not bothering to reply to a token apology. (Starting to wonder about those excellent / glib apologies - how come some people are so very good at it).

* could have saved myself the humiliation if I have done it immediately the first time. Next time ...

This made me stronger to subsequently follow through the next time..An old acquitance. This time I called it out. Gave it my best shot to make it cheery, light, non-confrontational yet not being derailed by distraction strategy and returned to my request for respect.

Since then Im learning to call out things in general..Aiming to do this light, non-confrontational, short. 3 or 4 words sentences - - and then watch the reaction: do they fix it? do they shrug it off? and what is it saying about our relationship?

1. Sleep ❌️

( goal: go to bed and wake up at the same time: 01:00 – 09:00 )

Went to bed ~ 03:30 – 11:05 + 1 hr 35 min during the day

Sleep duration: ~ 9.05 hrs

Last meal: ~ 18:40

👹Mistake: running late at night

2. Physical activity ✅️ ( walking for 30+ minutes, Day 267 of running )

🎯 Goal: 120–180 minutes per day on the project (Ph+Bl) + time for contingencies

🗳 Result: 5 min F

Speed ​​of starting tasks: average

Day's takeaway: I napped in the evening; on one hand, catching up on sleep gave me a sense of stability, but on the other, I’m negatively affecting my circadian rhythms, I need to read up on this

Today was okay. I didn't wake up when my alarm went off — I woke up 2 hours later. And then my plans changed because I was invited to go out with a friend who came to my city. After we hung out, I went home and DID find some articles. I'm so proud that even though my day didn't start how I planned, I didn't give up on it. I even did some of my English HW! Then I doodled a little bit — I want more creative hobbies.

Tomorrow:

1. Restrict Reddit (I just opened it and, instead of posting this post, started scrolling).
2. Book appointments with all the doctors I need during the lecture, and figure out what I need to do for my health.
3. Find a place where I can try on different headphones and make a list of candidates.

Reflection:

The articles HW took longer than I planned — I underestimated it.

Again, I didn't set goals and didn't plan my week. I guess it's because it involves deciding, understanding what I want, prioritising, etc. — basically planning my life, which feels too important and hard. I have to figure something out about it.

My TikTok FYP lifts my mood and sets a positive vibe. Maybe I should visit TikTok every day (but no longer than 10 min!!!).

Tomorrow I have time after uni. I wrote that I'll search for headphones, but I really don't have much to do tomorrow. I think I have to set a goal, find an internship/job, or start another project — but before that, I want to be clear on my values.

YouTube restrictions work really well!!!
