The replay always shows something you missed live. So does a calm Tuesday after a bad Monday.

Being inside an event costs you most of the view. Your attention is busy keeping up, your body is doing something, and the meaning of what happened only assembles afterwards when the pressure has gone. That is why the second look is not sentimental; it genuinely has more information in it.

So give a bad day one scheduled second look. On Tuesday, spend five minutes writing what actually happened on Monday, in order, without the verdict attached. You will usually find one thing you got wrong about yourself and one thing somebody did that you were too busy to notice at the time.
