Hi {{full-name}},

It’s been about a week since your last EMP activity. All of us take breaks now and then, but I’d like to discuss some of the reasons why managers might remain in such a “holding pattern”. 

Some managers feel it necessary to continue practicing what they’ve learned in the most recent section. Perhaps they feel as if they haven’t quite internalized what they wanted. This is a positive reason for not going on to the next week. 

However, note that review is already built into the course. Next week, for example, you’ll still be working on the same habit you worked on this week, albeit from different angles. Also, remember that the lesson you’ve just completed remains open for you to revisit anytime you need. 

Other managers might not have continued to the next section because they are currently under a great deal of pressure at work. This is understandable; we all have busy periods. However, I’d like you to consider how the EMP is integrated into your work life. The exercises should be done within your workday and not as a separate activity, which would require extra time. With this in mind, it is a good idea to begin working on next week’s section, ensuring to integrate it into your everyday workflow.

Whatever the reason is for your brief break, I look forward to seeing your progress soon!
