Year-1 lessons:

1. AC bill is your largest non-rent cost. Plan for it.
2. Linen clothes only. Cotton holds humidity. Synthetics are a nightmare.
3. Two showers a day minimum. Sometimes three.
4. Hydration is medical, not optional. Electrolytes daily.
5. 6am-10am is your workout window. After that, gym only.
6. Embrace the siesta. 1-4pm shut down. It's not laziness, it's adaptation.
