Over the past year or so I have found myself craving the possibility of just getting things done, seeing progress, and having something to show for a few hours of work. This doesn’t happen much in my day job.
I’m posting these things here not to brag or to call myself skilled in any of these tasks. Rather, I am putting them here to remind myself that there are things I can do in my world to feel as if I am accomplishing something when my work week feels like I cannot.
Especially when the rest of my week feels like this.
Enjoy.
