Some days, getting out of bed is the starting gun and that’s the whole race. Run it.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

On the worst days the first action of the morning uses everything you have, and there is no reserve left for the plans you made. That does not shrink what you did. The size of an achievement depends on the conditions it happened in, and standing up when standing up is genuinely hard is a full day of work.

On a day like that, make the list one item long and let the item be getting up and getting dressed. Count it when it is done. If several days in a row go like that, let somebody know, because it tends to get lighter with help.
