8/10/24 Cycle 5 Stack Run: DRLD+QLST4 Day 1 Review
Total Days Counter: 262

Sleep - 8/10 Overslept
Daily Routine - 2/10 Poor. Put off dishes and other stuff
Action - 2/10
Habits - 2/10 Junk food and binged shorts
Emotions - 2/10 Lethargic and overwhelmed

Daily Thoughts - Started good but fell off after eating some junk food. My bad. Just listening to my subs right now instead of first thing in the morning. I’ll finish some earthly tasks before today ends so they don’t carry tomorrow at least. I’ll just get right back on track. I’m still mindful of what I’m supposed to be doing thankfully.

Daily Thoughts - Sleep is not the end of the day but the beginning of tomorrow. If yesterday was waking up on the wrong side then today is waking up on the right side of the bed so I knew it would be a great day.

Action - 7/10
Habits - 7/10

Action - 7/10 Some lag but little resistance
Habits - 7/10 Some wasted time on youtube
Emotions - 8/10 Optimistic but a little overwhelmed

Daily Thoughts - Continuing my path of building durable knowledge. Stuck on one particular item while recalling and linking everything. 82. The word should sound f,ph,v + n based on the major system. I forgot the image I assigned to it which is FioNa. My mind only came up with PHoNe and FuNny and of course, I couldn’t retrieve what I did not encode so it was futile. I just stopped there.
