What it concludes

• More than 50% of the time you think you are having an off day, it is just a day where you have not yet warmed up enough.
• During a warm-up, the point is not to perform, but to simply get your body warmed up and get into the flow state.
• Scheduling less in your day and giving each task the time it properly needs helps prevent false off days.
