I completed FedEx safety training that ran far longer than expected and triggered reflections on money pride and car choices especially owning a Tesla while returning to a job. I noticed public versus private self discipline gaps and how environment exposes habits I want to eliminate. I felt motivated by structure and accountability. Later I resolved a persistent task completion bug in the app which finally worked and confirmed progress.

Episode Summary by AI

I caught up and uploaded every episode, clearing a backlog that had been weighing on me. I did minimal app work, finished urgent work for Mina, and felt mental relief from completing overdue tasks. I confirmed FedEx training for tomorrow. I reflected on how procrastination causes mental fatigue, shared progress on weekly Murph workouts, improved my time significantly, and broke down strategies to get faster. The app still needs small but persistent fixes.

Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI

• “I do think a lot of stress and overwhelm and mental fatigue comes from knowing that we have things to do, but for whatever reason, not doing them.”

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

I feel lighter after closing open loops and getting caught up. Finishing overdue tasks removed unnecessary mental weight. I feel proud of my physical progress and motivated by competing with myself. I am frustrated by small inefficiencies, slow replies, and lingering app bugs, but overall grounded, relieved, and clear headed. Progress feels real even when it is incremental.

Episode Summary by AI

I worked briefly on the app and focused on core functionality rather than progress updates. My priority is making fundamental flows work reliably including saving tasks for later editing committing tasks correctly and calculating commitment success rates. Many edge cases still break logic and accidentally commit users to tasks they cannot delete which corrupts records. Testing is delayed until these failures are resolved. The slowdown is intentional to avoid invalid data before user testing while balancing upcoming client work.

Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI

• I just need the shit to work.
• You can not delete a task once you have committed to it. You can never delete anything.
• That would be on your profile forever.

Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI

• You are a little bitch, and you can not do it.
• You are stupid if you do that.
• I just need the shit to work.

My Thoughts and Feelings for Today Summarized by AI

I feel constrained by unfinished logic rather than lack of effort. I am frustrated by small failures that cause irreversible consequences for users. I am deliberately slowing down because integrity of the system matters more than speed. I am aware it looks like stagnation but I know shipping broken fundamentals would be worse. I am accepting the delay as necessary friction.

What I Did Today Summarized by AI

Worked briefly on the app, reviewed broken task commitment logic, mapped save for later flows, identified testing blockers, planned simulation tools for time based events, postponed user testing, prepared for client work tomorrow
