Me: “Why is the firewall blocking prod?”
Also me: “Oh… I was testing that last night.”
Pro tip: Don't debug your weekend experiments in production. (But let’s be honest… we all have.)

Around 1PM, I tend to hit a slump. I built a midday reset that actually helps.
Here’s what it looks like:
1. Mute all my notifications
2. Do a chore like dishes
3. Eat lunch, watch a podcast!
Not every day is perfect, but this routine has made a huge difference. How about you?
