This is part of my “Code Comeback Diaries” series where I rebuild my focus, skills, and career — one day at a time.

Today wasn’t perfect. But it was honest. And that’s progress.

☀️ Morning Wins

I woke up at 8:30 AM — that’s 30 minutes earlier than my usual start. Small shift, big momentum.

Started the day with:

21 squats
20 situps
2 reps of 10-second planks
(No pushups today — sore arms needed mercy.)

Post-workout: bath, breakfast, and the big decision...

Phone or focus?

Yesterday’s 1-hour scroll session was still fresh in my mind. So today, I avoided the trap — checked notifications from my computer instead. Felt proud of that micro win.

👨‍💻 Work Blocks & Distractions

Got into coding right after. Logged 3 hours total, though only 2 were productive — my system froze, and that delay pulled me off track.

What did I do in the gap?

You guessed it... I scrolled.
Again.
Another 1 hour gone. Not ideal — but I’m tracking it now. That’s a first.

🎯 Evening Push

At 6 PM, I reset.
Got back to the grind. Coded until 7:30 PM and...

✅ Finished the website

📺 Rest + Reflect

Post-dinner, I let myself unwind a bit — watched some TV, no guilt.
At 9 PM, picked up a JavaScript lecture and watched until 9:45 PM. Then sat down to write this journal. After posting probably think about adding some value in people’s life through my work.

Final screen time today: 2 hrs 41 mins — way better than my old average.

🧠 Final Reflection

This journey isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being intentional.
Today I:

Moved my body.
Built something.
Fought old habits (even when I lost).
Created value and shared it.

And above all — I showed up.
That’s what this comeback is about.

✍️ Mini Goals for Tomorrow

Control scrolling (max 10 mins)
Think new website idea
25 pushups this time

If you’re also rebuilding — whether it's your career, discipline, or confidence — I see you.
Let's keep pushing forward. One honest day at a time.
