Didn’t I just talk about this…as an editor? How dreading opening a file just delays the work and I end up falling behind?
I don’t believe I talked about life throwing curveballs. Sickness, family obligations, too many answers needed yesterday. The breakaway that turns into a runaway. The feeling of being in over my head.
And it all ends up with falling behind. The mouse spinning on the hamster wheel built for a pot-belly pig…might have used this phrase before.
There is no cure for falling behind. The more you try pushing the more errors you end up making. Pieces you miss. All you, I, can do is keep showing up and picking up a bit more each time until we’re running smoothly.
And pray for more patience than usual.
Oh, and remember that life happens to everyone.
