90 Day Sprint – Day 7 Habit Check-in

When the first of July came around I knew that every cell in my body would be screaming for a perfect first day when everything got checked off.

I also knew I would be out of town for 6+ hours at a work function with a borrowed car, because mine is in the shop and the likelihood of getting all my tasks done was low. So I remembered that the whole goal of these daily habits is to become more consistent over time.

Here’s how I’m doing a week in:

Personal self-care:

1. Floss – doing well on this, powered by a dentist appt this month!
2. Double cleanse face – about half and half, I wash but don’t always double cleanse
3. Take vitamins – 100%
4. Use lotion – better than 50%, while this is more important in winter, it’s needed after the pool or a very hot day

Personal space care:

1. Do all dishes – not doing great on this one, I need to catch up and stay caught up!
2. Clean litter box – better than 50%, trying to stay on top of the upstairs boxes is the worst because ‘out of sight, out of mind’
3. One cleaning task – pretty good, I need to make my chart and hang it somewhere I can always see it so things get checked off.

Personal mental care:

1. No social media before 9am – almost 100%! Forgot one day when I was up early
2. Reach out to a friend – 100% and trying to reach out to older friends more often
3. Publish something – 100% so far!

Personal physical care:

1. 20 minute walk – about 50%, will probably get better the longer my car is in the shop
2. Average 5,000 daily steps – about 50%, will be more consistent if I do the walks!
3. In bed by 10pm – I’m good on this if I have work the next day so it’s about 50% due to the long weekend and later nights

Overall I continue to be challenged (because duh, if it were all habitual already this would not be needed) but I’m glad that I am working on each of these habits.

I also find myself to be doing tasks that used to be one my list (make the bed, journal, laundry) and then sorta annoyed I don’t get to check it off. Oh well, I suppose the benefit of the thing being done has to be enough.
