Such an important reminder! I love the old Pennsylvania Dutch saying, "The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get." The importance of listing out those priorities really helps. I had a tough time making rest time be rest time when I was teaching. Now I know that leaving to much left on the to-do list will interfere with effective rest time and that motivates me to be more productive during task time. It's a cycle, but it works❣️

Thanks for the reminder Astrid! I reckon I can use the same mantra for when I feel like progress is slow. I have time...I don't have to get to the finish line today.

Yes, exactly: no need to do everything today, to accomplish everything, or even anything. You have all the time you need ❤️

I was in a 12 step group once that had the mantra: "There is always enough time, there is always enough money, there is always enough love."
