You don’t have to do everything at once

Some days, the list is longer than the day. Something to finish, something to learn, something to start. And somewhere in between, there is supposed to be time to live.

When we see everything other people are doing, our own list can quickly grow longer. Yet we usually see only the result. The detours and the things left unfinished rarely make it into a photo.

A break can be part of it, too.

A thought from this story

What matters to you right now?

Perhaps a smaller question would help today: what really matters to me at the moment? Choose one thing. Give it some time. And accept that other things can wait.

Finding your own pace isn’t always easy. Sometimes things move quickly. Sometimes we need several attempts. A break can be part of it, too.

Your pace can be different

What would you like to take off your list today to make room for something that does you good?
