Day: Friday
One thing I want to remember about today:
I stayed consistent with my morning spiritual routine, but I need to control distractions and impulsive eating.
What time did I sleep last night and when did I wake up?
Slept: Around 8:00 PM
Woke up: 5:30 AM
What data will I look up after a month or year?
- Sleep consistency
- Prayer consistency (on time vs qaza)
- Screen time vs productivity
- Eating habits (impulsive vs planned)
- Emotional control (negative phases)
Reminders:
- No one can waste my time except me.
- Small wins: win the seconds, win the hours. Don’t overwhelm; use the 2-minute rule.
- The way you do anything is the way you do everything.
- Conduct weekly/monthly reflections.
- Don’t multitask; focus on one big thing each day.
- Manifest the work you are about to do, using a diary.
