Progress is better than perfection | Day 8 | Tue, 17 December 2025
🛌 Sleep Log
- Slept at: 3:30 AM
- Woke up at: 11:30 AM (8 hours total)
📊 Daily Focus Reminder
Consistency over everything. Even when the schedule shifts, moving the needle on your personal goals is what counts.
- Progress on my new YouTube channel is a non-negotiable.
- Quality work at the office keeps the foundation strong.
- Faith remains the anchor through every busy hour.
🔔 Daily Reminders
- Limit Morning Scrolling: Trade the 30-minute scroll for 10 minutes of planning.
- Deep Work First: Use the fresh energy after waking for creative tasks (video editing).
- Office Productivity: Keep the momentum going between prayer breaks.
- Rest & Reset: Give yourself permission to shut down after a long day.
💡 Routine Analysis & Suggestions
Your current routine shows you are a "Night Owl," which is fine as long as you make it work for you. Here are three ways to make your time more effective:
1. The "No-Scroll" Zone
You mentioned scrolling from 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM. This is your "Golden Window" because you just woke up.
- Correction: Keep your phone in another room or use a "Work Focus" mode. Use those 30 minutes to do a quick 10-minute stretch or start editing your video immediately. It will make you feel much more accomplished.
2. Optimizing Your "Office-Side Hustle" Bridge
You work on videos right before the office. This is great, but ensure you aren't "starving" (as you mentioned).
- Correction: Try "Batch Prepping" your food. If you have a meal ready to go, you won't waste time figuring out what to eat at 1:00 PM, giving you more time for your YouTube channel.
3. The 12 AM – 5 AM Gap
You reached home at 12:00 AM and worked until 5:00 AM. While it’s productive, doing this every night leads to burnout.
- Correction: Try to set a "Hard Stop" at 3:30 AM (like you did the day before). Those extra 1.5 hours of sleep before sunrise will significantly improve your focus for the next day's office work.
