Temporal landmarks do not always represent optimal habits or productive activities; sometimes a temporal landmark is just a phase shift (like stopping work or finishing dinner), and interrupting an optimal activity with a hinge is acceptable if it serves the larger 24-hour cycle to drive consistency with the domino habit.

Evidence Quote

sometimes I'm doing something really productive at 8:30 p.m. and the alarm goes off telling me it's time to stay aligned to that hinge and get ready for bed. On aggregate though, over this 24-hour period and then over a week and a month, you're going to get more total productivity, performance, and flow by staying on track with your temporal landmarks.
