> I have since fallen off the productivity wagon unfortunately

If you don't mind sharing, what was the reason? I'm asking coz these things and also note taking isn't sustainable for me at all.

Not OP but I used to be totally into productivity hacks and being on top of things, goal setting, habit tracking, everything.

I stopped when I realized I could just... Not, and still thrive in my life. Simplify my systems.

I set myself a goal to workout every morning. Sometimes I miss it because my infant daughter decides to wake up at 4am instead of 5am. I give myself grace.

We eat largely the same meals every day. Some cooked protein, some cooked veggies, and a grain (rice or pasta).

And I just have a regular routine at work where I work on work and also do explorative education for myself during breaks. Look into different frameworks, patterns, etc.

I didn't need to meticulously plan out every second of my day, month, year. I just needed systems that made things predictable. Sometimes I drop the ball and it's fine. I get back on the horse when I can.
