Slow Start

I had a slow start on Monday.

I had a slow start on Tuesday.

I had a slow start every day this week.

And, yet, I'll meet my weekly billing goal.

And, yet, I'll meet all deadlines.

How many mornings do you feel that pressure--to get to work, to bill away, to tackle the weight of each action item piled up on your to-do list?

I feel it almost every day.

Sometimes I ask myself, "Is that real?" or "Is that true?"

More often its a gentle nudge, "It's fine, Emily. You have time."

Giving in to that pressure may be a large part of how I ended up where I am today.

But it doesn't have to be what drives me every day from here on out.
