It's the weekend and a lot of people have trouble staying focused on the weekends.

0:05.2

And really what that comes down to is if you have any kind of a set schedule, and it really

0:10.4

doesn't matter if it's actually a Saturday or a Sunday or you have your days off in the middle

0:14.7

of the week.

0:15.6

A lot of times that schedule is so uniquely different, you wake up late, you sleep in, maybe your home and your

0:23.6

kids are home from school or from camp or whatever it is. So your whole schedule seemingly is

different and you end up just completely fucking off, so to speak. Really, in order to stay focused

something that fits your schedule, that fits your goals, and that you can be consistent

1:45.0

with. Pillar number seven of the seven pillars of Solormis is consistency, and it's consistency
