Week notes for 2022 week 01.

Saturday 1 to Friday 7 January 2022. 

As usual, I've made a new year's goal to start week noting again. This year feels different though. 

In the middle of December 2021 I started a new drug for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) called Atomoxetine. 

It feels like it might be having an effect, as I've put a lot more effort than usual into thinking about what I want to get out of 2022. 

Over the xmas break I iterated the following routine, habits and goals.
