My bathroom mirror checklist survived a bad week

I moved my weekly review to Wednesday and put a three-box checklist on the bathroom mirror: sleep, protein, walk. Four weeks in, the only box that reliably gets ticked is the walk. Not virtue — it’s the only one that doesn’t require a decision.

The medication quieted the background noise; the mirror note handles me. I logged 18 of 28 walks, and two of those were just pacing while my coffee reheated. Quality of life improved in a boring, measurable way: fewer 3 p.m.

crashes, one fewer pantry detour, and less negotiating with myself. Still tuning the checklist. What’s the one input you’ve made stupid-easy so it survives a bad week?
