The comeback after interruption matters more than pretending interruption never occurs.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Nobody manages an uninterrupted run at anything meaningful, and the people who appear to have done so are usually just quiet about the gaps. What actually separates outcomes is the quality of the return, how quickly and how unsentimentally you pick the thing back up. Pretending the interruption did not happen just makes the return harder to admit to.

When something breaks off, put your attention on the first step back rather than on the explanation. You can understand it later. Right now the useful move is small and immediate.
