You don’t need a Monday, a new notebook or a big speech to restart. You just need the next rep.

Waiting for a clean starting point is a way of postponing while feeling organised. New notebooks and new weeks feel meaningful, which is exactly the problem, because the ceremony becomes the thing you are attached to rather than the work. Any restart that requires a calendar can also be delayed by one.

Do one repetition of the thing today, at whatever time it currently is, in whatever conditions exist. The restart is that rep, and the date it happened on will not matter to anyone later.
