My restart log is a five-field note with a timer

After a nine-week gap, I wanted a restart system that didn’t become another dashboard. Mine is a single note on my phone with five fields: date, water, fiber, sleep, and one line on how the day actually felt.

I fill it at night in under a minute. It caught that my rough evenings lined up with skipped lunch and low protein, not the med itself.

The only extra habit is a recurring Sunday reminder to review the page and jot two questions for my next appointment. Boring, portable, easy to abandon. That’s why it works.

What’s your minimum viable log?
