You no sleep well but the day don land anyway. You know wetin you plan to do today. You sabi well well how far you dey from the version of yourself wey suppose do am. Light dey inside the room, kettle dey there, and one decision dey wait for you, wey small pass wetin e feel like.

Steam dey the window for one soft patch. Chair wey you pull comot small for angle since last night. The building dey hum small, e no even wake fully. Your shoes dey by the door, one turn small, exactly where dem land.

You dey wait to be the rested version before you start, but that person no dey come at all. See wetin dat one dey cost you, e dey add up faster pass wetin e look like: condition wey good reach to make you start fit happen maybe one day out of five, so if you make rule wey need dat condition, you dey give four days out of every five to nobody. If you count for one year, na most of the year be that. The work never dey wait for your best self. E dey wait for any version of you sha, but you just dey send apology instead.

Make we look am the other way small. You already know say tired session pass the one wey you skip, because you don try both, and na only one of dem leave something behind. So the standard no be effort, na presence, and presence dey available for any energy level wey you ever get. Half of something no be compromise version of the thing; na the thing sha, for today size. The people wey dey continue no rest pass you. Dem just stop to make rest condition before dem move.

So today, make e happen small. One-third of wetin you plan, for whatever pace dis body get, no need ambition about quality. Put am down when you finish and no go dey check am well well. Tired and finish still be finish. Nobody wey dey grade dis fit see the difference after, and even you no go see am after one week.

The rested version of you fit don do more. But that version no dey here, and today still dey. Go anyway, even if e no fine, make dat be the whole standard.
