This one has been a struggle for me so far. I'm generally a morning person but in January,

I had many dinner meetings and in service of Goal #3 (Reconnect with new friends),

I did have a few longer nights out than intended. Having something at night made it more difficult to take back the morning, even I did pretty well with Goal #5 (Drink less).

I plan on amending this from Take back mornings->Make plans during the day,

not at night. After speaking with a few of meeting counterparts, I ended up finding out that they too, in fact, prefer to do meetings over lunch/coffee vs.

in the evening as it gets pretty tiring doing dinners several nights a week. In Japanese biz culture, there's a term called "nomu-nication" or "communicating over drinks,"

meaning that alcohol can help to be a social lubricant to create more open business conversations, but I feel confident that I can buck this trend with my sleepy peers.

Making fewer evening plans also has the happy effect of helping me spend more time with my wife and our dog,

which I already feel like I do a decent job of, but creating more time is only positive.

I'm proud to say that I've been very good at this one so far. I played pick up at Yoyogi Park in Tokyo three times,

signed up for two Indoor Hoops Open Runs in NYC (highly recommended!) while back home and closed the month by playing in a 3x3 event for streetwear select shop, Undefeated, to close the month.
