(Weekly Review 🌻)

Potato’s Year-End Sprint 2024 - Phase 1: Planting Seeds 🌱

Week 1 (Oct 1-7)

🌱 Wins & Highlights

Though I didn’t reach my weekly goals, I’ve built some momentum! I’ve gotten valuable insights to help adjust my approach for the coming weeks.

🌧️ Challenges & Setbacks

I woke up late every day, and it threw me off. With my schedule already messed up, I only managed to do one or two small things each day.

My period hit hard, and I had mood swings, crying almost every night. I couldn’t sleep until 2-3 AM.

I planned to catch up on my Buffer Day, but I ended up being lazy. Lots of overdue tasks remain.

Progress Breakdown

👼🏻 Personal Development

Japanese: Reviewed 10 mini-lessons, no new progress

3 CBT journal entries (+1 therapy session)

Learning about self & social dynamics from different resources

💻 Professional Growth

No UX writing progress :”)

Read some career-related articles daily

☪️ Spiritual

Murajaah: 2 pages

Attended 1 Quran study session

🕰️ Morning & Nightly Routines

Morning: I don't think I have a morning routine atp :v I only stare at nothing the first thing in the morning and ask "what should I do now (that I woke up late)?"

Night: Nailed 4/7 days of my routine—floss, brush teeth, wash up, skin care, and lights out.

🍃 Health & Fitness

Appetite and energy levels were low

Didn’t track water consumption, but I think I drank less

Slept too much, yet still felt tired

Strategy for Next Week

📝Backup Calendar & Reverse Log

Implement a backup calendar so I can adjust on late-start days

Identify 2-3 key tasks to complete, no matter when I wake up

Log what I’ve accomplished as I go

💻⚓Anchor Task & Morning Routine

Set UX writing as my “anchor task”—do it first! Even if I wake up late, I’ll reduce time but still prioritize it

Start mornings with small wins like 5-minute journaling or stretching

Mentally rehearse the night before what I'll do first when I wake up late

💪🏻 Health

Track water intake using a water bottle with measurement lines

Prioritize eating at least one meal before starting the day
