TACTICAL NOTES: 

  1. Operational Shift: Morning Routine Optimization

    Current assessment reveals that the traditional 0500 morning workout protocol is suboptimal given present life parameters (family obligations, professional demands, operational tempo).

    New Protocol Implementation:

    • Morning hours now allocated to sauna/cold exposure therapy followed by deliberate recovery period
    • This approach delivers superior stress management and cognitive preparation for daily operations

    Workout Window Relocation:

    1. Primary Option: Midday training block of 1 hour
      • Strategic advantage: Creates natural operational pause, mental reset, and afternoon performance enhancement
    2. Secondary Option: Post-work training window
      • Backup protocol when midday execution isn't feasible

    Current Status: Testing phase in progress. Midday preference established due to tactical benefits of day segmentation and mental clarity reset.
