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,

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
