Momentum matters at work. Completing small tasks help you gain confidence and do better in the future. This is true in an individual day and on a day by day or week by week level.
On a longer time period, you are doing a lot of work and forgetting most of it. As a result, your momentum relies a lot more on how you feel you are doing becomes a lot more important than how you are actually doing.
This is why making perspective a practice is important. If you go to bed fixated on what you didn’t get done, you will feel like a failure and wake up the next day slow and guilty. If you have the exact same day but chose to focus on the things you accomplished, you will make up excited and eager to get started.
Deluding yourself or hiding from responsibilities does not help you succeed in the long-term, but focusing on your progress and how you are winning each day will leave you feeling lighter and ready to kick more ass in the future.
