Brick by Brick Week 6: Good News / Bad News

While I intended to write a long post, COVID got in the way. I'm confident that more will come later as recovery is definitely well underway.

Pivoting from tracking metrics of sleep, stress, and exercise, Todd moves on to tracking mood and content consumption in the experiment to improve his overall mood and well being.

It was a slower week with a little less exercise, some stumbles in my routine but some bright spots in terms of quality and quantity of sleep. And most of all, avoiding getting sick.

This week Todd continues his project of optimizing his eating/sleeping/exercise routine and is taught a lesson by a rogue kottu roti.

After almost a month, Todd writes a post about what's happening, where he's been and why he's been so lax in posting. It's all good and all about disrupting internal and external algorithms!

Battling cold, wind, and hesitation, I hit the road for another tile-bagging ride. Headwinds tested me early, but I made deposits into the headwind bank, knowing I'd cash them in later. With determination (and a tailwind), I racked up new tiles, personal records, and a fast finish!

I'm my worst enemy in getting myself out the door. I love to ride and explore but getting from the couch to clipped into the pedals is the hardest part of most rides. Today I used a couple tools to overcome that resistance.

Today's 200km ride was so difficult it ended early, but not for the reasons you might think. And surprisingly, ending when it did was an extremely good thing.

Today Todd tries an experiment of sharing an article he liked here rather than social media to see how that works. Why did he like it? It talks about how the author is getting through uncertain times. It was pretty helpful!

In today's entry, Todd talks about the routines and habits that are challenging for him and has a plan to improve on three different fronts.
