You don't need a new life. You need to get through the boring part

I like the idea of finding out in advance what an ordinary day looks like after the beautiful beginning. What will you need to do every week? What repeats? Where can nobody promise a quick result? Not to frighten yourself out of it. So you don't later treat ordinary work as the universe breaching its advertising obligations. You can make it more manageable. Reduce the volume, arrange help, choose a schedule that doesn't require a daily feat of heroism. Sometimes consistency begins when you stop planning for an imaginary person with unlimited energy.
