Read along with the original article(s) here: http://zenhabits.net/how-to-deal-with-major-disruptions-to-your-routine Quotes to ponder: “Things will be disrupted, but if we really want something, we’ll find a way to get back on track.” “If you allow these bumps to stop you every time, you’ll never get to the destination.” “Don’t expect to pick back up exactly where you left off, whether that’s with exercise or diet or work or anything else.” Episode references: The Power of Less: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Less-Fine-Essential-Effortless/dp/1401309704 Learn more about your ad choices.
