This month's daily habit
Exercise.
I restarted gymnastics, which is awesome, but it makes me so sore that I have to have lots of days off workouts in-between classes, so I didn't exercise very often this month.
Time spent coding
14h 55m, 20 commits
Slightly down on time, slightly up on commits. Already had a huge programming weekend on Oct 1-2, so this may be up again next month.
Most played music
