Feeling a sense of overwhelm for about 10 days now. And have been working desperately hard to undo it.
Yesterday i started seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
Had to quit working by 2:30pm yesterday in order to travel to a High School Class 3A Basketball State Championship game.
When work piles up, we can ill afford to cut our workday short.
But when we are in control, we can cut work, without guilt, whenever we need to.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Took a minute to chat with these guys after a run, because i had the time, and it was fun.
One of our biggest mistakes is not adding margin to our travel time.
It’s an insidious habit.
It’s one of the main reasons we are unbalanced. We become bankrupt spiritually because we are constantly coming up short – and rushing through the basics of life. The basics sustain us. The basics allow a rhythm and freedom to be more present.
The basics; a spontaneous conversation with a friend at the grocery store, taking a moment to help someone in need – if only to give directions, or simply pausing to watch the clouds for two minutes.
i’ve found that padding extra time into travel time allows for me (anyone) to be more present and to not be in so much of a rush. Life is too short to rush through it all.
Note: i struggle with this every day. That’s why it’s so important.
