Overall, I don't think it was that much of a productive day because of the fact that I was on my phone or playing Stardew Valley for most of the day, however I'm aiming to be more productive tomorrow. I'm going to start trying to get all my work out of the way first before I allow myself to go on my phone/ switch because otherwise I'll get nothing done.

Productivity: 1.5/5

MOCK COUNTDOWN: 99 days
