My first domino - week 2

YOUR DOMINO

Your domino is sleep, and specifically the front door of it: in bed by midnight, which is the exact thing you picked.

Two facts make the argument for you. From your nights: the pull is not the show, it is that you can't leave something you're interested in. You said it plainly, "It's pulling myself away from something that interests me, when I'm in my comfort zone." That's a transition problem, not a discipline problem, and transitions are also what you named as the hardest part of mornings. Same wall, two ends of the day. From your days: first food at one means Big Rock #2, out the door by 10:00 a.m., has nowhere to stand.

You already ran the proof. Last Sunday, up at 7, flyers out, then the postcard group, then home to recharge. You said what made it work: "Pressure to get my flyers out!" Big Rock #1 pulled the morning into existence. The nap afterward was you finally allowing your own recovery instead of charging yourself for it.

When midnight starts holding, the first thing to move is not energy. It's that first meal sliding earlier, and with it the end of calling one in the afternoon a failure. That takes weeks of dull repetition, not a good week.
