How To Restart A Routine After Missing A Week
Restart with the smallest version of your normal routine, schedule it once, and treat the first week back as a re-entry rather than a test of discipline.
Choose one short session you can complete today, then place the next one on your calendar. Avoid doubling the workload to “catch up”; the goal is to restore the cue and rhythm.
A simple re-entry
- Cut your usual session in half.
- Choose a familiar activity.
- Stop while the experience still feels manageable.
- Schedule the next session before the day ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I make up missed workouts?
