Nice going, man! I've been working on my flexibility. Taking the Atomic Habits advice of tying it to a trigger activity that I do anyway, I've been stretching my hamstrings daily for a few weeks. Could barely reach my shins before, now I'm touching fists (and occasionally palms) to the floor.

Hey that's roughly where I'm at, too! I say roughly because I don't quite remember where I was when I got distracted by sidequests, so I'm watching some episodes going 'Okay I think I've seen this before'.

For the love of god...

I put down the work and say 'okay fine I'll finish this up later' but my brain says "oh no, we're still thinking about this. Open VScode again right now!"

I do a codewars problem every day. If I'm low on time, I might do an easier one just to keep the brain in code mode. I realized today that I'm running out of those easier ones. Guess I'm just gonna have to do harder ones by default.
