i guess the elephant in the room should be exosed: i'm totally not following the schedule like I would like to. I am not interested in making myself feel bad about not meeting my "daily morning and evening check-ins". I'd like to keep giving myself grace and allowing this "check in" to happen as it should. 

is once a day all i have in me? awesome. let's do a morning evaluation. what if i check in at night? lets just do an evening evaluation.. that's how i am going to structure it, for my sanity, from now on.
