Step 2: Create a Squirreling Journal
Track your squirrel sessions. Record your triumphs and setbacks. Identify areas of improvement.
Example entries:
- Spent 4 hours playing video games, set a new personal best in 'Cookie Clicker'.
- Accidentally deleted important documents while trying to 'organize' my desktop.
- Ate 3 whole pizzas by myself while 'researching' for 'inspiration'.
