Took my first ADHD medication this morning. My mind isn't constantly going down tangents, it feels like. Didn't feel the resistance I often feel to starting this log. Like, when I start it's usually fine, but the act of actually starting was often a struggle.

Been a while since I did a weekly review! Going to try to make it a habit again: for both work and home.

Third day back at waking up at 0500. Pretty exciting. Today I also pick up some ADHD medication, which is also exciting, or at least interesting.

I'll update my default morning plan if I keep waking up at 0500 through the weekend. Here's hoping!

Time to switch to work log.

Woke up at 0500 this morning. It was hard and I was tired for quite a bit, but I stayed up. I also got in my stretching. Took twice as long as it should've, but it happened. And then I had a solid 2.5-mile run.

Now, it's time to get that stuff I sprinted towards having working yesterday into a deployable state today. Hoping to have it in prod tomorrow. But more details on that will be written in the work log.

Missing Day

I went to create this post and then had a day of grinding out work between heavy meetings.

Missing Day

Played some MTG Arena draft yesterday. Went grocery shopping. Watched some TV. Just hanging out.

Need to get something working end-to-end by 1500 tomorrow, and so I'm just going to get it working today so I got the buffer tomorrow.

Woke up at 0500 this morning! Yeah! Going to try to maintain that through the weekend.

I've also been off Twitter for almost 3 weeks again, now, which is good. Every once in a while I feel the urge, but I've been resisting pretty well.

My weight has gotten as low as 196.2 (yesterday), and today it's 198. It's pretty close to a weight where if I eat a lot of food one day, I won't be above 200 the next day. Though, there hasn't been too many days where I've felt the urge to eat a ton. My diet is in a pretty good place.

Had a bad start to the day, but will practice flexibility and get into the flow of things. I'll switch now to thinking in my work log.

Missing Days

Treated weekend like more vacation time. Lots of MTG Arena and TV with a tiny bit of cooking.

Pager duty was hard on me rebuilding my routines, but now I'm going to try to reestablish a lot of them. These include, but are not limited to:

• spaced-repetition with Anki
• stretching
• waking up at 0500
• website side-projects

The other side-project I was working on wasn't working out. It's the kind of thing that can get a bit of time per week though, maybe, but in a more intense way. So that's what I'll try to do there.
