getting healthy and feeling better in semester two
K888:
Awesome stuff! Building routines like this can be super beneficial. Just don't be too hard on yourself if you have a few days where you don't get as much stuff done on the list as you'd like to ;)

Day Six
1. To drink 1.5-2L of water a day.
I think I just hit 1.5L.
2. To exercise daily: bike-rides, stretching, core workouts ect.
Did this. Was less bad than the first time I did it, but my legs were still a bit sore up the stairs at school today.
3. To spend a little more time outside, being creative and reading.
Outside: Not really, but I went on a short walk this morning, so I guess that will do. It wasn't really outside kind of weather.
Creativity: Did some drawing today.
Reading: Finished the book I was reading.
4. To stop snacking after dinner.
No...again. But I was with friends.
5. To cut out all lollies. (My go-to comfort food.)

10. To keep my room clean (and tidy it every Sunday).
Um no, it looks like a bomb went off. Definitely something that needs to change this weekend.

I got a lot done today. (And got up early to do it!)

Week 1
I think that I am enjoying this and getting more use to the routine. I think that in the upcoming week I am going to focus on not snacking after dinner. I had a weird week and it involved eating meals at random times.
Overall I feel pretty productive, and I am really happy with the things that I am getting done in the morning.
As these things became like habits and regular parts of my day it was easier to stay consistent.

Also: I plotted my daily ratings from the first week on a graph, and there was a slightly positive trajectory. Let's hope it continues that way!
I also put whether or not I completed each goal into a spreadsheet for each day, and there seems to be a pretty direct correlation between my productivity and my mood. I'm not sure which affects which, but I'm starting to wonder if how productive I affects how I feel and not the other way around.
