Updated my habits and made everything simpler

Instead of 30 pull-ups and 30 chin-ups per day, I made them 5 pull-ups and 5 chin-ups per day. I noticed that several days would pass by where I don't do any of my workouts, and that's probably because I just made their completion amount too high. I had it set to 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 leg raises, 30 pull-ups, 30 chin-ups, 60 kettlebells from floor to above my head, 60 kettlebells behind my head, 4 minutes of wall sitting, 1 minute of planking, 10 minutes of knee planking, 10 neck exercises, 3000 steps, and 1 hour of cardio minimum. I think this was too much for me to consistently do every day, because it takes a few hours to do them all.


So today I drastically lowered my completion amounts for these workouts. That gave me joy to check them off as being completed, and I can do even more reps of any of the exercises if I wanted to. Like today, I did 7 extra pull-ups and 7 extra chin-ups totaling to 12 of both, even though I only had to do 5. I don't feel like doing anymore, so I won't, but I at least did the minimum and that counts.


I think this is better too. I think it is better to do 5 pull-ups every day for 6 days than to do 30 pull-ups in one day. Just like how it's better to run 5 minutes a day every day for 6 days, over just 30 minutes of running once. But I don't know if it's better to study for 5 minutes every day for 6 days, instead of studying for 30 minutes in one day, because 5 minutes of studying doesn't really result in much.


But yeah, I am tired now. I have cleaned up my entire home. I walked on a treadmill for over an hour. I did all my brain training. I made some vegan posts on social media. I practically did all of my daily tasks today. Now I am tired. Time to reflect on the day.

Reflection Questions

What have I done right that moved me closer to my goals today?

I made my exercise dailies a lot easier to fulfill. Instead of 30 pull-ups per day for example, it's now set to just 5 pull-ups per day.

What would I do differently if I could repeat today?

I probably wouldn't do anything different. I think today was great. I made no mistakes that I'm aware of either.
