Set aside “flexible” days. If you can, decide on a couple of days when it doesn’t matter if you start working or come home late. This gives you built-in buffer time to catch up on stuff you missed, which can make it easier to stick to your schedule the rest of the week. Take a time vacation. Sometimes, it’s good to commit to a day where nothing needs to get done at any particular time or even in any particular order. Brains need rest!
