The Tuesday Drop-Off: How to Keep Going After the Monday High

Monday hits different. You’ve got your planner color-coded, your goals written out, your playlist ready. Then Tuesday arrives and suddenly that fire feels like a flicker. The Tuesday Drop-Off is real, and it’s the first real test of whether your motivation is built on feeling or on systems. This sprint is about building what we call ‘frictionless starts’ — making it so easy to begin studying that your brain doesn’t have a chance to negotiate.
