For me, week 2 had several scheduling anomalies, other commitments I was finishing out, and work-related routine interruptions, so I’ll be regrouping for week 3. It felt disappointing to break the daily quota streak which then makes it harder to pick back up because it leaves me feeling “behind.” During week 2, I did get some morning pages done for about half the days but had to sidestep almost everything else. I also only read about half the chapter. Here’s one thing that stood out for me:
“So remember: procrastination, like perfectionism, always comes down to fear and anger. Blasting through blocks can always clear the way. ...face down your skepticism. Your “foolish” fears and angers are boogeymen, nothing more. Be willing to see them dissolve.”
Hope everyone finds creative inspiration and momentum in the weeks ahead!
I found that section on fear and anger also very interesting - I thought (and wrote) a lot about the inner critic after this chapter actually. I'm sorry that it was an unusual week. It really does happen, right? Don't let yourself get down about the quota. Just start where you are.... and move forward. There is no real "behind".... this is for you. I'm glad you fit in some morning pages though..... any form of morning writing routine (however we each view it) seems to really be a good foundation for the day.
