Written by As I approach the end of the first month of my test, I am feeling much more comfortable with my daily numbers than I did when I first started. It has still been an incredibly difficult month, because even though I was already working out before the start of this test, it was not anywhere near the amount that I am working out now. It was a tough transition at first, but after just this last month, I feel a lot more comfortable with it, and I think that it will get even easier in time. On a separate note, this past weekend, I turned 17! It’s crazy to realize that I am getting older, and even though I am only a junior in high school, that in a couple of years that I will be moving out and going to college. It’s still two years away, but that still feels too soon for me, so I try not to think about it too much.

That is awesome you have completed your first month. I am glad it is getting easier to do your daily tasks. Happy birthday! I hope you had a fantastic day.
That first month was all about getting your time management baseline down. Now as you move into month two, see if you can make any small 1% improvements in your time. Can you double up on anything (audio books + fitness?, or ordering/stacking your tasks in a different way so as to reduce travel time?). A 1% improvement made now, but done every day, is a lot of time saved over the year.
What an exciting time! And an exciting time for your next birthday next year–it will be right before your final test!
Congratulations on completing your first month! One day at a time. 🙌🏼
