In a lot of areas of life, missing something creates a growing debt. Skip a loan payment and interest builds. Skip workouts and the conditioning you lost takes longer to rebuild than it took to lose. The longer you wait, the bigger the gap gets.
This isn’t built that way.
A missed day here doesn’t grow into a bigger problem tomorrow. There’s no interest accumulating, no expanding pile of reading you now owe yourself. You miss a day, and the next day’s reading is exactly the same size it would have been anyway.
That’s part of why catch-up doesn’t make sense as a strategy here. There’s nothing to catch up on. The gap doesn’t widen the longer you wait to come back. It just sits there, the same size, until you decide to pick it back up.
So pick it back up. Nothing has gotten harder while you were away.
