Once afternoon comes, I can't seem to get any work done.
Once lunch is over, you open your Tojeong Bigyeol first, wondering if today is a blocked day—and let go of your work.
Scenes
- Once afternoon comes, I can't seem to get any work done. — You open the Tojeong Bigyeol to read today's flow, but your hand can't touch the work in front of you and grows stiff instead.
- I wonder if today's luck is blocked. — It's not that the work is difficult. You become careful with your very first move, as if you must not spend today the wrong way.
- The cursor has only been blinking since 2:30. — At 2:30 p.m., even after rereading a line from the Tojeong Bigyeol, you leave your hand poised before the cursor, unable to choose what to do next.
- The flow is not a verdict. — When you read the Tojeong Bigyeol's flow as a result, you hold yourself back before you even begin. First, read the texture of the moment and choose your pace.
- Write down just your first move for tomorrow afternoon. — Tonight, write down one thing to touch first tomorrow afternoon. Even if the work doesn't flow, it can mark the way back from where you stopped.
- A slow day isn't a bad day. — Your hands may still be slow tomorrow. When that happens, don't judge the whole day; simply return to the first move you wrote down.
