Describe one habit that brings you joy.

There’s something deeply satisfying about diving into a productive task that sparks joy in my heart. Whether it’s mastering a new programming language, sizzling up a hearty breakfast in my cozy kitchen, or tending to my lush garden in Kerala, these moments fill me with a quiet sense of accomplishment. Picture me in the early morning light, whispering words of encouragement to my plants, urging them to stretch toward the sun. There’s magic in these small, purposeful acts. Joy, though, is a fleeting guest. Its warmth depends on the weight of our responsibilities, the stresses that tug at our minds.

To adapt, I shifted my sleep and work habits, laying the foundation for my early-to-bed, early-to-rise lifestyle. Little did I know, this change would prove invaluable later.
