  • one day more

    I shared on the weekend that I had been working, and how rare that was (working on the weekend, not working full stop!). I’m now further into that particular grind, working through Day 8 of a nine-day stretch.

    I’m very much feeling it now. At times through a stretch like this you’re in the zone, you find your flow. But then there are times like now, when you feel like there’s nothing left.

    It’s like a day after a rough night’s sleep; but just lengthened over a period of days.

    One more day tomorrow – a full day, but away from the office. A time to discuss, to reflect, to plan.

    Then two perfectly-planned research days, to get my head back into reading and thinking mode.

    Then a long weekend.

    I can do this.
