Experimental June: week three

It’s late on Monday 23rd and I’m typing this weekly recap that I was supposed to write on a Sunday but it’s been a hectic day—today wasn’t much better, autostrade per l’italia loves me—and I was too tired to write it last night so I’m doing it now.

Week three has been interesting. Didn’t go as planned but it’s been a fun learning experience. I did manage to meditate all 7 days but for a few of those days I only meditated once, which is fine. Didn’t listen to podcasts, didn’t watch videos, and made some progress with my third book of the month. I did push live a new version of the blogroll, but didn’t post much on the blog. Screen time was back up again on my phone and that’s because I spent the first 4 days of the week with a terribly annoying seasonal flu. I woke up on Monday with a sore throat and by Monday night I had a headache, then a minor fever and a runny nose. By Friday I was already back on track but one thing I noticed is that when I feel sick my mind becomes VERY distracted and I suspect that’s because I can’t focus on work or on reading a book or on doing basically anything useful with my time and so I found myself staring at that stupid phone way too much.

But I’m glad it happened because it’s a learning experience and I have a plan for the next time I find myself stuck in bed because I’m sick.

Overall, I’m still very happy I’m doing this experiment and I very much look forward to writing the next follow-up at the end of the month because there are some important—for me at least—takeaways.
