Second day of actually writing this down instead of just thinking about it in my head, and it’s already showing me how often I skip straight through lunch without noticing.
Today was better, not perfect. Breakfast was standing at the counter answering a client email (not ideal, but it happened), then I actually sat down for lunch instead of grabbing crackers and calling it done — that alone felt kind of nice!
Dinner was the part that slipped. Work backed up right in the middle of the afternoon, and by the time I looked up it was already dark out, so I ate way later than planned and went to bed with that heavy, too-full feeling again.
Kept:
– sitting down for an actual lunch
– water instead of coffee once the slump hit
– stepping away from the laptop to eat
Didn’t keep:
– the early dinner plan
– closing the laptop before dark
Writing it out like this makes the pattern clearer than it ever is just floating around in my head. Mornings seem to be the easy part. Evenings are where it falls apart, every time, the second work decides to run long.
