Episode notes
Client's Quiet Time Routine
- A client started a morning routine of quiet time with prayer and Bible reading in a conference room before work.
- The routine was successful at first but collapsed after disruptions like spring break or illness and was hard to restart.

- Routines collapse partly because the connection to their benefit erodes over time.
