Or all those great resolutions last until Monday and have completely fallen apart by Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something <em>always<\/em> comes up:<br>the train is delayed, your pen runs out of ink, your laptop charger is still at home, your to-do list grows endlessly, and that 8 AM lecture feels like it\u2019s taking place in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news?
