Fresh starts vs making up for lost time

5/7/25

Idea from me:

Fresh starts are typically more successful than trying to make up for lost time. When we try to overcompensate for our lack of work in the past, it rarely creates a system of longevity - it more likely continues a boom-bust cycle. So today, instead of thinking that you are behind, think of it as day one. You’re right on track.

Quote from another:

Author Isabel Allende on writing and loving:

“If I write something, I fear it will happen, and if I love too much, I fear I will lose that person; nevertheless, I cannot stop writing or loving.”

Prompt for you:

Take yourself on a bookstore/library date! My brain always feels more ready to create after reading and being surrounded by books. I recommend walking down genre aisles you wouldn’t normally read just to switch things up. Enjoy!
