It’s been a good few weeks with projects that make a difference. But often my work is filled with hills and valleys. Tons of work and then a lull and then slammed again. 

Last week I was swamped. Plus I’m supposed to be working on the book and supporting a couple of civic projects and helping several candidates running for office, and, and, and more.

I was feeling run over by the 42-page to do list. Ok, not actually 42 pages but you can imagine. 

What did I do? Keep running in circles? No. Did I work tirelessly through the weekend? No. 

I took Saturday off technology. And the whole weekend off social media. And had dinner outside with friends. 

I stopped running. Caught my breath. And started over on Monday with a much clearer head and more productive day. 

Sometimes, you have to slow down to speed up. 

What works for you?

Have a great week,

Julie
