You stay right in da middle, an' da middle IS da work

You stay further along dan you was befo', but no feel like nutting, yeah. Dass worth saying up front instead of acting like one problem. Da kettle click off. Get one whole stack of days behind you wit real work inside, even if none of dose days had one big announcement. Dis morning stay anodda one of dose, an' you stay here fo' 'em.

One jacket stay hanging on da chair back, still holding da shape of somebody. Light on da floor make one long parallelogram. Da fridge start up den stop again. Your notes from last week, still can read 'em, still mo' or less right, dass one quiet kine proof, even if no look like proof.

Da beginning had one story an' da end goin' get one too, an' right now you stay in da part between, where nutting dramatic happening an' nobody clapping. Dis right here is where most people quit. Not cuz somet'ing wrong wit dem, but cuz dass just how da t'ing stay built. Anyt'ing worth building no give you nutting fo' long time, den give you everyt'ing all at once, so da exact moment when quitting feel most reasonable stay right befo' da payoff come. Your gut no stay lying to you, it just stay reading one graph dat no catch up to da work yet.

Check which ruler you been using. You been checking fo' results, everyday, an' results stay one terrible everyday measure cuz dey move on one schedule you no can control. Effort though, dat move on YOUR schedule, all da way. Switch da measure an' da whole stretch change: one day no stay one vote on whether dis stay working o' not, e just stay one day where you either did da rep o' you never. Dat question you can answer honest in four seconds, an' dass da only question dat ever predicted anyt'ing.

So today you go do da regula rep an' write down dat you did 'em. No need check. No need see if e stay paying off yet, cuz dat checking stay da t'ing dat been costing you your mornings. One mark on one page, den da rest of da day stay yours.

Nutting about today goin' look like progress from inside. Neva does, fo' nobody, an' dass exactly why so few people stay stick wit 'em. You stay sticking. Dass da whole difference, an' e stay available again tomorrow.
