I had a lot to do today.
…And I took my time doing it.
And it was this one simple mindset that made all the difference.
…Because I’ve lived this day before.
I’ve had “the lot” to do and seemingly not enough time to get it all done and guess what…?
It stressed me the hell out every time.
And by the time I make it out on the other side of my “lot” it feels like the day is gone and I didn’t get to enjoy enough/any of it.
But what I’m slowly learning… what I keep reminding myself… what has been a re-occuring mantra in my head is: there’s always going to be a lot to do.
The key isn’t to try and get it all done as fast as possible… it’s to find ways to bring more joy and presence to the doing of those very things that you’re choosing to spend your life’s time doing.
…And one of the best ways I’ve found to do that is to take your damn time doing it all.
