Some days, finishing on time is the whole win. Let it be enough.

Some days the only available victory is having finished. When you are tired, stretched or simply out of room, work that is done and handed in on time is a real result, and measuring it against a standard set on a good day turns an ordinary day into a failure. Not every day is for improving. Some are only for keeping the chain going.

After a day like that, say out loud that finishing was the win and then stop. Do not add a second task to make up for it. Let done and on time be enough, and sleep.
