So, you plan and plan down to the last minute only to realize, things take longer than you thought. You try to cram in as much as possible while you’re motivated and feeling productive only to be derailed by some random YouTube video. Then, there goes your time.

I think the key take-away is that you really need to include breaks in the schedule. While on a roll, I tend to continue. Not all ideas are fleeting but time is. You can always go back to it. In fact, whatever you were doing before you got sidetracked is probably still on tomorrow’s schedule. Do not fret not finishing. If it is not done by the allotted time, it was not meant to be completed by then. The hardest part is to stop because it is time for a break or a it is time for the next task. Tomorrow is another day to pick it up and continue.
