You can carry pride in your work without carrying its timetable for the rest of your life.

Work leaves its timetable behind long after the work has ended. The early alarm, the sense that a quiet morning is suspicious, the reflex to be reachable, all of it was built for a set of demands that no longer exist. What you did remains yours and the schedule does not have to. Pride and pace can be separated, though it usually takes a while to notice they were ever attached.

Pick one habit that belongs to the old timetable and let it go for two weeks. Notice whether anything actually suffers. Keep whatever you still want, and choose it on purpose this time rather than by momentum.
