Great post. What a great idea.

You know, I think one thing for me to realize is that “broken days” aren’t necessarily my fault, and they happen to everybody. I tend to get frustrated by “broken days” but tend not to notice the “perfect days.”

But I also think that a “perfect day” can be your goal from the outset, helping you avoid the self-imposed distractions that can come along as well.

Thanks, Tom! Good post.

Timely post for me. Last week seemed like a broken week. The bright side is that the perfect days, more often than not, out number the broken ones.

I like the term Jackpot days. Send one of those my way, okay?

Gorgeous post, Tom.

I’m going to add “Broken Days” and “Perfect Days” to my vocabulary. I already have the term “Jackpot Days,” which are appropriately rare but also wonderful: a day when a series of wonderful events all come one after the other, like getting a tax refund, a story acceptance, an email from an old friend, and finding a $20 in a jacket pocket all in one day.

Perfect Days fall between Broken and Jackpot Days, and I must say, I think I like Perfect Days the best.
