If you don't find a way to discipline yourself, you'll flail all day monday and tuesday. No coffee break until you get x amount done? It's funny to set goals like that, but sometimes it's also helpful. Don't worry about the bigger picture. Just get your piece of the puzzle done. Then you can really enjoy the rest of the week. Beginning wednesday, skies are clear. On friday, put yourself first, but don't let putting yourself first become an expensive policy. (your bank account might not be as padded as you think. ) this weekend, think about anything other than work.
