THOUGHTS

-- 3/22  Covid has made my routine go so off kilter working at home most of the time. Need to be flexible.

3/28 Getting started right away. Limiting email or news or social media in morning to 15 min is key

4/9 - morning routine is getting better if I don't read news in morning

4/29 - better if I don't look at phone or iPad while in bed which causes me to dawdle there. replace with looking at phone while I make coffee.

5/16 GI Joe phallacy...knowing things is not half the battle. Putting it into practice is key.

5/26 last night had 2 glasses of wine...made me groggy this morning. better no alcohol during week 

6/16 haven't had any alcohol or wine. just replaced with kombucha the last few days.
