The gist of it:

Part of trying to live better is understanding that there will be times that we will falter. So the ability to pick ourselves up and get back on track quickly is more important than trying to live out our lives perfectly.

There will be those bad days where we find ourselves procrastinating, unfocused, distracted and generally feeling inefficient or unaccomplished. Rather than getting discouraged with ourselves, it is helpful to re-envision the day as four distinctive quarters rather one single day.

Primers:

Ask yourself:

1. What can I do right now to make the most of this next quarter?

2. How can I reset and refocus to finish the day stronger than it started?
