Day 50/180 OFF #1- Wed 7 July - part 2
1) So yesterday I made it a firm and concrete focus of mine that come what may I WILL focus on fixing my sleep cycle once and for all and to make this my primary goal. I affirmed that should I then progress onto other goals and this foundational goal of sleep is affected everything else will be pushed to the side until I correct this goal.....
2) ....so I got to work on this goal. I spent the remainder of the day and evening putting things into perspective. I made a master list of goals, a mind map to help connect which goal had a greater effect on which other goals and thus on my life overall and without going into it hardcore on here it was clear that sleep was the number 1 goal of my life. Goals 2-5 out of a total of 10 were just as important and paramount and set the baseline for everything else.
But sleep was number 1.
I then for those interested, went further with prioritising these goals in terms of urgency and importance using the matrix I once read about in a book (i googled for the image of this and a website that gave me more clarity as to how to use this again). This enabled me to number the goals from 1-10 thus finding 1-5 being the life changing goals. everything else was a dream upon these but not things I needed as much.
3) I then as @RTBoss mentioned in the post above went into looking at how i needed the right late evening regime which included using blue light filters again on my phone and laptop screen. I say again as I have these apps but due to my erratic travelling and sleep cycles always gave up on them but not now. I scheduled these with do not disturb to come on at a set time I chose to on my phone and also blue light filter on my laptop. I wont name these as that may break forum rules.
4) Anyway once I had planned what time to sleep and wake this week until sunday morning (upon which I will then bring the time back an hour per week until I hit my golden times) I then set about scheduling the blue light filter and "do not disturb on my phone"
5) I then went about planning all this with paper and pen and once I was happy I had time to start planning on my diet further. I say further as I had done most of the diet planning, perhaps 80%, a few nights ago.
6) Once all this was planned to cut a long story short I put it all into action and got to bed at the time I planned which was 12.30am hoping to sleep at 1am. I didnt sleep around 1am I dont think especially as it was hot and I still hadnt got tired. However eventually I fell asleep with some light waking up moments during the night.
7) I set my alarms to come on an hour before I planned to wake. I planned to wake at 9am and at 9.12am which some struggle I got up!!!!!! Terrific for me!!!

Day 51/180 OFF #2- Thurs 8 July
1) Waking up at 9.12am was what I needed
The ultimate goal is to wake up at 6am daily, 7 days a week consistently. I can do this but I just need to give my body time to get used to 9am and then 8am will become easier and 7am will. I will as mentioned bring these back per week giving my body 7 days to get used to said times until 6am is reached and then maintain that no matter how much or little sleep I get. Waking up without fail is 1 sure way of fixing the body clock.
2) Today due to waking early (for me 6-9am are times I psychologically see as early and productive times to wake - waking at 10am to me feels more like breakfast is missed and its lunchtime) I was able to eat early and quickly and then was able to put my next plan of action into play which is Time Blocking. A way to manage my daily hours and minutes.
3) After doing this I then had a template for my day to follow and ive been doing just that, ticking/checking off things achieved as I go alone and coming to update my post here was scheduled for now with a break in between so here I am.
4) After this the next plan is to update my music player with 4 loops of OF 3 ready to be played tonight when i go to bed.
