Create a “Bad Day” Routine to Stay on Track With Your Most Important Goals
It doesn't have to be “all or nothing.”
Everyone has “good” and “bad” days.
I’m no exception.
On “good days,” I blast through my to-do list like a machine.
I feel unstoppable — as if I could accomplish anything.
“Bad days” are a different story — a complete lack of ideas, energy, or motivation and a nihilistic sense that “nothing really matters.”
Before I understood this energetic cycle, I would beat myself up when I had a bad day and try to grind through it, only to end up exhausted and burned out a few days later.
If I had too many bad days in a row, it would knock me out of my routine and keep me from accomplishing important goals—like sticking with a fitness plan or growing a new income stream.
Subconsciously, I thought —
If I can’t do it perfectly, I might as well not do it at all.
Has this ever happened to you?
These days, I have a “system” in place that helps me get through my low-energy days while keeping me on track with my most important goals.
