Results are receipts that show up months after you paid.

Effort and outcome are separated by enough time that the connection is easy to lose. What arrives today was bought weeks or months ago, so the good stretch you are in is not evidence about today’s work, and a flat week now is not a verdict either. You are always paying into an account that settles later.

Judge this week by what you put in, since that is the part currently under your control. Keep the deposits regular, particularly when nothing is arriving. The statement catches up, just never on the day you would like.
