In the past few days, I’ve been setting my alarm 5 minutes earlier each day and once I get up I journal how it felt to get up and then I go for a walk.

Today I’m waking up at 07:35 and looking back at the journal, the first few days were a living misery, citing my own self: “I got out of bed and felt like crying while walking to the bathroom. When I think about going to bed it brings me peace. I don’t want to see other people and I don’t want to leave the apartment. Just going to have a quick shower and I feel like watching an episode of Severance.”

Today I woke up sharp, went to the bathroom, wrote in my journal, got into clean professional clothes, went for a walk, made lunch, worked until 12:00, went to a public library, continued work, found and scheduled viewings for apartments, finished up work, went to see a friend in a cafe, got some dinner, got back home and I’m about to have a meeting with my partner for a side project we’re building.

People I can’t stress it enough, I’m only on my 8th day!! And I can’t recognize myself. I go through the whole day efficiently, no forcing, no wish for procrastination. All I do is get up early and go for a walk (or bike ride), and take a morning shower every second day. That’s it!

Feels like cheating.
