Day 69: Fighting Fatigue, Chasing Clarity & Owning the Patterns

The creator is exhausted on a Tuesday after packed meetings and an AI seminar, noticing a pattern of fatigue that day each week. He's sleeping better now, 6-7 hours instead of 5-6, but stress from marketing decisions and a summit project still drains him. He missed recording a video but plans to film again that evening to stay on schedule.
Chapters
Okay, good morning. So I am actually filming this video early this morning for yesterday. I'm out getting my morning sunlight and I want to talk a little bit about yesterday. So yesterday I woke up feeling pretty good, did the splits routine, did it an ab routine. The intention was to go do some cardio. It wasn't a lifting day, but I felt really good when I woke up, you know, there There was some resistance to doing that splits routine because as I've mentioned before, I hate it. But I missed a few days. I missed like 4 days and didn't even realize I missed that many until I opened the app and, you know, looked at the log. But I'm standing out in an area of my neighborhood where I can actually get the sunlight right now. So I'm doing that and I did that yesterday too. And yesterday was packed. I had meetings, you know, virtual meetings. Then I had a physical seminar that I got to go to on AI, and then I had a big committee meeting for the, my community. I'm on the committee for our HOA here. And so it was, it was a packed day, but I was exhausted. Like the whole day just fighting to keep my eyes open, you know, while I'm working and while I'm on calls. It's just, it was miserable. I went to actually lay down twice yesterday for about, first time it was 20 minutes and I laid down for 15. The second time I set it for 20 minutes and I was laying down for 10. It's like I was exhausted and just Don't know what that was about. Now it's really interesting because this is the second week in a row where this has happened on a Tuesday. So now I'm thinking, okay, what is the pattern? What is going on that is, you know, it just seems too coincidental that two Tuesdays in a row I'm fighting that feeling exhausted all day long. So I have to, I have to think like, you know, is there something I'm doing during the weekend? Something I'm doing with my diet. Just what is going on, I have no idea. Maybe it's a coincidence, but it seems kind of odd to me. So I didn't make a video yesterday because I didn't make it a priority. I was fighting like this, feeling this fatigue all day long was actually— stole an awful lot of my joy, my motivation. Damn, I'm trying to get this shadow off my face. And it was a real challenge. So, and I'm wrestling with marketing decisions and trying to get things to go. I'm working on building a summit right now. I've got an awful lot on my plate. And being tired just exacerbated that like underlying stress that I was feeling about everything that I'm trying to accomplish because my gosh, you know, you're trying to stay awake, it's, it's hard to get anything done. So, we'll see how today goes. I've been sleeping better, so that's another interesting aspect to this whole deal. Is that the work that I'm doing apparently has made a difference in how I sleep, the length of time. So I'm, you know, sleeping 6, 7 hours sometimes now, which is a huge improvement because normally it was 5, 6 for me. And I'm also not waking up multiple times during the night, so I feel better. Things are shifting in that area. So, trying to crack the mysteries and uncover, you know, some of the things that are still not feeling optimized in my life are what I'm looking at right now. So, we'll see how today turns out for the way that I feel. I, you know, kept telling myself yesterday energy was a choice and that still didn't overcome it. It was, I was pretty fatigued. So going in today with some pretty big challenges, like number one, trying to keep the shadow off my face when I'm filming. But we're gonna, we're gonna attack it. So my commitment is to make another video tonight, and so that I'm on track with the days even though they're in the same day. And we'll see how the report is this evening. So that's it. Thanks for watching.
