The biggest hump of the day to overcome, the moment at which you know the rest of the day will be easier – more like coasting downhill – is not at noon, mid-afternoon, nor when work is done.
The biggest hump lies in that first motion from prone to vertical. The morning’s first sit-up as your body shifts from dormancy to motion. That mental push of determination to leave lollygagging behind and thrust oneself into action.
That’s the challenge, be it day, week, or year. Once over that – the waking, creaking, shaking off the headache and stiffness – you’re on your way.
At that moment, you know you’ll make it through the day.
