all in small steps…

I’ve been sick with a cold for two days now so I’m not making much sense but I’ve got to think about how I approach most projects in small steps. That’s how I did pretty much everything in my life including writing my first manuscript and finish my PhD thesis.

I’ve been so caught up trying to do it all that I had forgotten how to take things in small steps, one at a time.

Yet yesterday and today, I did just that. Small steps, no to do lists or schedule and the funniest thing is that I managed to do a whole lot in two days without trying very hard.

Just one little thing after another.

I think I need to think a little more about that.

Working on the prologue of Ancient Secrets today and revisiting some French history for it. Fascinating. I actually don’t hate research when it’s about something I like!

Brightest Blessings especially for Imbolc tomorrow for those who observe the turning of the wheel.

Because there’s such a comprehensive add campaign (at least where I live), the tot really wanted to see it. Despite [...] […]
