DAY 96 — FOUR DAYS. NO DISTRACTIONS.
Kia ora whānau — Jamie here.
Day 96.
Four days left.
Now everything gets quieter.
No excitement.
No overthinking.
No looking ahead.
Because the closer you get to the end,
the more dangerous distraction becomes.
Thinking about Day 100.
Thinking about what comes after.
Thinking about the finish.
None of that helps you today.
Today has one job:
Stay focused.
