I dream of my company going to that schedule, but I don’t think they ever will. It’s great to see other companies shifting that way though :)

Finding another goal is a good suggestion. It’s what worked for me, at least. Instead of it being about how I appeared in a mirror (which was suuuuper variable and depended a lot on my mood), it became something measurable I could easily track progress with.

I had a similar experience with VRBO. My family booked way in advance to see the eclipse, and the host ended up cancelling it a couple weeks before the stay. No penalties for them. I suspect they realized they could charge way more than what we were paying.
