The problem is, sometimes you’re too occupied to do the work precisely when it’s due. The solution is, do the work early. I don’t know why this is a breakthrough – the technical term is “not procrastinating.”
And yet.
It’s a game changer to give yourself permission – permission! – to do the work early. It’s a gift of time when you need it, relaxation when you are stressed. It’s one of the best gifts you can give yourself. It takes diligence, motivation, persistence, but Not Procrastinating is totally possible.
This is just to say that starting today, I’m going off the grid. But I’ve given myself the gift of writing two or three posts a day, so that I can maintain my writing streak (currently 1712) while resting my fast-typing fingers.
