Expecting to see an emerging UX pattern with agentic systems: “Human-in-the-loop plan-and-execute”:

Energy is the differentiator.
High energy cascades.
High energy overrides hard situations.
High energy helps me persevere.

Day 4: I fill up my calendar with reminders for each & every to-do that pops up in my head. And when I'm actually idle, I open up Instagram/Twitter. There is no 'idle' time anymore -- and this experiment is forcing me to reclaim that time. To think, and wander, and reflect.

Day 31: I'm trying to build a demarcation of work time and no-work time in my schedule. Trying to shut down once I leave work, and not get back in until the next day: giving me around 12-14 hours of downtime. Hopefully, it leads to higher value work in 'work time'.
