V1 - What did you do Yesterday?

Stress & Workload Reality Check (Research Proposal)

• Andrés is struggling because he didn’t finish a ~400-word research proposal after not reading all the required information.
• The pressure builds when the Dean of the Research Department arrives and is displeased.

What He Did the Previous Day (Lifestyle/Travel Highlight: Late Outing)

• He started late to his day.
• He went out with his wife to the movies around 10:00 pm.
• He took her to Hilton, where they ate crabs.
• He got home around 02:00 am.

Health Routine & Consequences

• He woke up around 12:00 with a horrible stomach ache, which he attributed to the crabs.
• He went to a pharmacy to buy medicine.
• He stayed in bed until about three.
• While recovering, he spent time hosting/taking care of his wife’s friends when they came over for coffee and chatting.

Attempted to Get Work Done (But Got Sidetracked)

• He took a shower to freshen up and try to start working.
• He didn’t make full progress because it became late and he was hungry.
• Later, he visited his mother-in-law for her birthday, returning home late.
• Result: the proposal was started but not finished.

Accountability & Next Steps

• He plans to be honest with the Dean and promise completion.
• Promise: Have the proposal ready for Thursday, specifically by 9:00.
• Lesson/health advice mentioned by the Dean: Don’t eat crab—the Dean called it a “bad idea” after seeing he had it at Hilton the Saturday night.
