I’ve decided life is subject to the principle of inertia—oh, and that other law of physics having to do with objects continuing to move in the direction they start to move. That’s why it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning, hard to go to bed at night, hard to start a new project, hard to stop in the middle of it, and hard to change focus from one project to another—or to start focusing at all. It also explains why new habits are difficult to form and old ones hard to break. It is hard to stand up and be assertive when we’re battered, and it’s hard to sit down and be calm when we’re agitated.
