Description

My husband Sam observed the other day that I’ve given myself “weekend homework” with this Substack.

He is not wrong 😂.

In many ways, I’ve been writing these 10 essays for 10 years. Some of them have had lives as earlier drafts in my podcast Beyond Balance, and my program 40 Early Mornings, and almost every single thing I say here I’ve said in a coaching session, on a retreat, or in a regular old everyday class that I’ve taught in the last decade.

All of them, I’ve been outlining and drafting in morning pages, in Scrivener, in voice memos, on walks for at least the week before they are published here. Often, much longer.

And yet — it seems I am in a never-ending karmic dance and dialogue with “self-imposed deadlines,” “feeling behind,” and allowing things to take the time they take.

Is it just me?

Are you, too, usually in a rush? And yet, do you often feel “behind”?

Leave a comment below with your hot take on time & your relationship to it. What you share just make it into the final draft of the essay that’s *almostthere* and will drop later this week about — you guessed it — TIME.

So ask / comment / share away — how’s your relationship to time? Asking for a friend ;) asking for all of us! 👇

And please in the meantime, enjoy this guided audio meditation that helps us practice presence -- one tried & true way we can shift our relationship to time.
