This challenge morphed from "keeping a routine" to "time-tracking". Lack of preparation played a role. I was also over-optimistic about how enthusiastic i would be at keeping such a routine.
However, it was still a valuable exercise. The challenge has opened my eyes as to how much time we actually have each day. By tracking my time, i was able to see where it was being wasted and where i could become more productive.
I also made a better attempt at doing things like meditating and walking my dog. I noticed how little time it takes and how much better i am for having done so.
I asked myself questions like, "is this the best use of my time?" and "could i be doing something else right now?" This is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life and guide me toward making better decisions. After all, our time is finite and i seek to get the most out of it.
I am now more conscious of how i spend my time and that alone was worth the experiment.
