I'm going to make a small change to my organization.

Instead of having a break on Wednesday and Saturday, I will work from Monday to Friday and take the full weekend off. I feel that slicing the week in half doesn't give me enough time to properly recover from the labor. I'll maybe have a bit more energy by doing this. Let see how it goes...

I didn't sleep for the entire night and was completely demotivated to work.

It looks like I'm in a circle: I'm having a productive week, then a backslash week. Overall, I'm doing much better than when I started a year ago. I was in a bad mental state last, now I can work with good focus.

Starting from tomorrow, I will add these items to my daily checklist:

• Stretching after waking up
• Cold shower after waking up
• No social media until 7 PM

I noticed that I work much better when I do that. The most difficult thing will be to cut social media, I will have to force it and suffer through it.
