Week 1: Breaking Patterns in Small Steps | HackerNoon
Briefly

The first week of my 4-week journey is behind me, and if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be different. My goal this week was to focus on micro-tasks and test how consistent I could be. These tasks included things like drawing for 15 minutes, reading 30 pages of a technical book, and steering clear of sweets with added sugars.
To make my workday more intentional, I added 10-minute focus breaks every 90 minutes. During these breaks, I read my technical book, did some small sketches, or simply stretched and took deep breaths. This micro change did switch up the rhythm and helped me extend my proactive workflow.
I started waking up an hour earlier each day (6:30 am), feeling surprisingly refreshed. After a much-needed cold splash of water to my face, I used this time to journal my thoughts, reflecting on the past days and noting important moments I'd love to remember.
Let me tell you why I feel far from failure. I managed to earn flowers for four days - not perfect, but it represents progress and building my dedication and commitment.
