Bad sleep, ok wakeup. Really depleted. Could not focus on writing until I did a “drop set” - dropping and saying I’d just do 20 minutes. That got me through the full round. I think this is a really useful tool to use when you’re feeling unfocused. The key is you have to be able to honestly self assess, instead of fooling yourself into thinking you will be focused after a few minutes. I think that idea of the 3 or 5 second rule might be key here.
