Today I started my workday later than usual.

Whenever I do that the day tends to linger on, and I get a little done.

If this late start happens on a day when there is a lot on my plate then I can be sure of a long day because my productivity is low on the day when I start late.

This has a cascading effect because when I start late on a particular day I end late. Then it affects the next day’s start.

The simple fix is to finish on time, even when you start late. You may have to choose a day when you don’t have too much work to finish early. Once you break the chain, you can roll as usual.

Right now, we need to break a chain that is bigger and more difficult than this, and unless we break this chain, we can’t get a fresh and early start.

Will you do what it takes to break it?
