Back to Tuesday

The long weekend is over, and here we are: Tuesday after a holiday Monday, which has all the energy of a Monday but with less time before Friday to make up for the fact that it started late.

Here’s what I know about this particular Tuesday: the week is short, which can feel like pressure, but pressure is optional. The week is short — you could also read that as: three and a half days, which is actually a very manageable amount of time to get a reasonable number of things done.

Don’t let the compressed calendar make you frantic. Do the next thing. The right-size version of the next thing. Keep the promises that matter. Let the rest wait until next week if it needs to.

The long weekend gave you something. Let it carry you forward today instead of letting the week immediately take it back.

Let what the long weekend gave you carry you forward. Don’t let the week immediately take it back.

What’s one thing you want to bring forward from the long weekend into the rest of this short week?
