We often treat daily routines like on/off switches. You’re either doing your routine perfectly every day, or you’ve fallen off completely.

Sometimes, the final piece of the puzzle—the big project you’re working so hard on—isn’t more work; it’s taking a break.

I’ve always set goals. For the most part, linear goal setting has served me well: pick a target, map out the steps, and stick to the plan.
