Daily Logs

Tuesday, 2026-05-26

Morning Check-in

• Energy: Good. Office work is already complete, so I can start with a clear head and focus on prep.
• Top outputs: Work through the planned graph problem list in the coding bucket, then start the behavioral work discussed earlier in the second half of the day.
• Main risk: No visible risk right now.
• First block: Coding bucket focused on graph problems.
• Need from Codex: Keep the day aligned to the coding-first plan and support the behavioral follow-up later.

Night Wind-down

• Done: Completed around 5 graph questions. Overall graph progress is now 18 / 53 questions.
• Slipped: Behavioral material was planned but not completed.
• Why: Coding took more time because I covered additional graph questions.
• Adjustment for tomorrow: Dedicate more time to behavioral work and spend less time on coding.
• Energy / health: Felt good overall, with no concerns around focus or energy.

Wednesday, 2026-05-27

Morning Check-in

• Energy: Good. Office work is already complete, so I can focus cleanly on prep.
• Top outputs: Solve up to 3 graph problems in the coding bucket, then complete 2 behavioral round points.
• Main risk: Overextending the coding block and leaving too little time for behavioral work.
• First block: Coding bucket focused on graph problems.
• Need from Codex: Keep the day balanced between graph reps and the behavioral follow-up.
