    train six days a week and log every single session until I pull 200kg

    Deadlift day. 100kg x1, a 10kg PR. This contract thing might actually work.

    Day 1 of writing for my novel everyday starts NOW. I've started this novel four times in three years and never got past chapter 3. I swear I'll write every day.
