Great sleep.  52 weeks of Meal Prep, and it didn't feel that long at all. This has been by far the best habit I've trained (after multiple failures) for eating. It's by no means a mastered skill, but compared to my failures, I feel I'll look back at it as a lynchpin behavior.

Day 379 Sleep Recording  (11:15|11:20|10|11)
Day 350 Bedtime Curfew
Day 188 Wakeup Alarm

Good sleep. Decided to add 3 new behaviors. Two skill pushes: adding a dinner plan to my monday cook up and adding a 30 minute set of researching/blogging. I thought an additional habit, learning and participating in social media, would complement any additional writing and research I'd do. My dinner plan will be added right after my meal prep - after I'm done Lydia and I will discuss 2 dinners we'll each make, then I'll write them down on a piece of paper on my fridge.

We've been talking about this for a while, and I've done this for a few weeks and it has really worked to take out choice (and eating badly) during the week.  I'm appending my 30 minutes of research and blogging to the end of my writing work.

Day 346 Bedtime Curfew
Day 184 Wakeup Alarm

Good sleep. Incredibly depleted - the cause and effect relationship seems to hold, as yesterday was quite draining. I wonder how predictive it can be? I also was going to take today off after writing, but I felt a strong urge to row, and then everything else just fell into place. It's a good sign that the base construction of my habits is solid, even if my skill progression is shaky.

Good sleep. On week 4 of my extended sleep study. Moved Sunday meal prep to Monday - I'm reading The Weekend Effect by Katrina Onstad, which is convincing me that my weekends should be jealously guarded from absolutely everything, including this project. Also tried Personal Kanban, a workflow strategy through the app Trello. I have used spreadsheets, to-do lists, and many planners and none of them have really stuck. This app has me excited like a game. So I'll be using it and observing how it works for me, as well as researching other methods of workflow.
