When I planned my earning cycle onslaught, I scheduled in a week off. The weather’s beautiful, I’m feeling a little burned out, and next week I’ve scheduled a surgery that will mean I can’t lift heavy stuff for about a month.

So I’m taking this as that week. I’ll still do work on some projects, but I’m not going to hold myself to the aggressive workload I’ve had for the past 5 weeks.

I get to do this because I accounted for it in my planning. If I hadn’t, needing to take some time for other things might have inescapably derailed me.

Yay, planning! It’s even more important when you don’t have a boss than when you do have one.

Thanks for listening.
