100 days of productivity: day 1, feb. 21, wednesday

Not having the best start to this challenge however I have been waiting for a good day to start it and it seems like it'll never come if I keep waiting for it without making an effort. I don't need a perfect start, I don't need to wait to start on the first day of a week or a month, I just need to start somewhere. I've wasted too much time worrying about how far behind I am, how I can only do so little in a day. If I want to change that I need to start now and start with something. It is better than nothing. Hopefully by the end of this challenge I'll be at a better place with self discipline.

🏋🏻 worked out at the gym for about 1,2 hours

👨🏻‍💻 prepared couple things to motivate me to keep up with the challenge
