After the meeting, I return to my desk and open the hardest subject first, but I keep stopping before the first line.
Scenes
- I open the hardest subject first. — After the meeting, I return to my desk and open a book. Today, starting with the hardest subject feels like the only way to settle in.
- Before the First Line — When you open a book before putting away your meeting notes, thoughts from the meeting and thoughts about studying linger all at once.
- When the Hardest Subject Comes First — Starting with the hardest subject takes a lot of focus and decision-making right away. After a meeting, that can feel even harder.
- Start with an Easier Subject — Tonight, open a familiar subject first and look at just one problem or one page. Then see whether it feels different to move on to the harder subject.
- Notice the Order You Followed — Even on a day when you change the order, you may still stop before the harder subject. How far you got can be a clue for choosing what to do next.
