When you take off your shoes in the entryway, the time to start disappears

This is a story for people who planned to sit at their desk after work, but whose day stretches on after taking off their shoes and setting down their bag.

Scenes

When you take off your shoes in the entryway, the time to start disappears — There are books in my bag, but the moment I take off my shoes, studying feels as far away as tomorrow.
It's not that you want to rest; there's no opening to begin — The urge to sit for a moment may have lasted because there was no next action waiting—not because you were resting.
You set down your bag and miss the time to start — At 7:40 p.m., I set down my bag in the entryway and had some water. It was a long while before I made it to my desk.
Studying waits for a start signal more than willpower — After work, it's easy to keep doing things that let you rest. Without a signal to open the first page, your mind keeps pushing studying back.
Get ready to read just one line in the entryway — Today, before setting down your bag, get your book open and ready to read just one line. You don't have to keep going for long—notice that a signal to start has appeared.
Even on days you start late, you can find the rhythm again — You can stop after opening to one line. What matters isn't getting through the whole day, but starting again where you stopped.
