Honestly, on Tuesday I started a tiny lunch note: what I ate, how fast, and a 1–5 focus check around 3:30. I expected it to be a boring week, but Wednesday and Thursday both dropped to 2/5 focus, and I realized I’d eaten my lunch standing at the counter while answering messages.
Friday I sat down for ten minutes with the same food and stayed at 4/5. I’m not reading too much into four days, and I don’t want to make it a rigid rule, but it was a useful nudge to protect a calmer lunch.
I’m curious how others separate a real body signal from a stressful calendar—do you track mood and hunger in the same note or keep them apart?
