Missed a deadline for a class, and now I’m a bit under the gun, racing against a hard stop this week. Whoops! It’s do-able, but tricky, and I find I need to re-learn how to ride the metaphorical bike just to get going again.
Also whoops!
The lesson, obviously, is never stop.
Or at least try not to let a short gap (due to a vacation, illness, or injury) turn into a longer one. Especially when trying to learn a new complex skill or develop a new habit.
This is… recoverable (I *will* meet the deadline), but it’s harder and more stressful than it needed to be, and takes away from other fun activities around this time of year.
And also, needed activities. Like the transcripts for the last couple podcasts, or the third Dr. Who 2023 special episode discussion (stay tuned; it’s a long one!).
And also the other kinds of crunches. Not the Cap’n. Just the gym kind. Managed to get in a couple sets of core workouts today. I don’t talk about working out much here. suffice to say that I go to the gym regularly (if not frequently). Weekend Workout Warrior here.
Gotta get back at that too.
But first, Crunch Time.
