Quick Note

It makes a lot of sense to commit always to the smallest possible ‘meaningful’ amount of work on a project and count every little bit extra as exactly that: a bonus. If you have a bad day - or 14 …or 500 - you may still be able to do the thing without feeling bad that it wasn’t more you did. Works equally will for habits. Feeling good about the small amount you did is better than feeling bad about the small amount you did.

Quick Note

(NB: Where I live, weeks start on Mondays.)

I’m a big fan of Mondays: It’s a great excuse to start again, to try again. The old week is in the past and the new week is ahead. You can compare weeks, try to do better than the week before. It’s like the first of January except you get 52 of these.
