We all have bad days.
The house is a mess. We miss a workout. We eat off diet. Someone stands us up for a meeting. Someone doesn’t say thanks for our hard work.
It could be any number of things that leave us irritable and flustered, but it’s our choice whether or not we let a single event ruin our day.
One thing I’ve found helpful is separating the day into 4 quarters. By breaking the day down into these smaller pieces, even if we have a poor Q1 and Q2, there’s still an opportunity to make things better in Q3 and Q4.
Choosing to compartmentalise the day into quarters can help us close the chapter quickly on negative situations, allowing us to focus on improving in the next quarter.
