WHAT WENT WELL
Lots got done! Making focus blocks helped get some major progress. I also did a quick mid week checkin wherein I reassessed my goals for the rest of the week. While I had dropped the habit last quarter due to the world being as it is, I know that it helps me get more done, as shown in this weeks results.

WHAT DIDN'T GO WELL
Obviously the exercise went in the gutter. It was a particularly stressful week at work, with one big project reaching a deadline. During lunch and after work I destressed by reading (I finished one book and am a quarter through two more) and gaming. Logically I know that exercise releases endorphins which help with stress management, however it's hard to remind myself of such after a long day. 

TRIAL IMPROVEMENTS
Continue to have hour long focus blocks scheduled on my calendar.
Prioritize exercise after work.
Consider breaking the exercise into more bite sized chunks.

I don't know how you exercise but if you're looking for short chunks YouTube is full of 8-10 minutes workouts (fitness, yoga, abs, buns... you name it!).

Great job on all your other goals!

Ooh, love your colour coded calendar! Exercise always falls by the wayside for me too. Once the kids are a bit older, I hope we can go on longer walks or go swimming more often!
