安靜的真相
你大概已經知道自己該做什麼。
安排日程。排出優先順序。設定目標。這些建議你早就聽過。
但知道不等於成為。方法可以指路，卻不能在事情變難時幫你留下來。
媽媽的提醒
時間管理最難的部分不是管理時間，而是在想漂走時還能陪著自己。
缺少的一塊
方法很有用。更難的是成為一個會持續執行的人。
這些方法確實有效。它們告訴你要做什麼。但更難的問題是：你如何持續出現？

Let tomorrow begin with one promise, not another negotiation.
為什麼效率方法會失效
你什麼都試過了。還是會掙扎。
你已經試過：
- 安排日程
- 下載效率 App
- 建立無止盡的待辦清單
- 設定宏大的目標
因為知道該做什麼，和成為那個會去做的人，是兩件事。
媽媽的誠實回答
你不需要又一個聲音告訴你應該做什麼。你需要穩定、少一些悄悄放棄的時刻，以及一個會注意到你正在遠離自己的陪伴者。
這就是 Mom Clock 存在的原因。
