Finding the Balance and then Tipping the Scale

[burned]

One thing I learned through this process is that SO much happens SO quickly and SO many things change in SO many unexpected ways...that you should really be doing a lot of writing things down. Otherwise you end up reacting based on present emotions and you lose sight of the long-term picture. Writing it down helps you see progress, if any. Because it's so gradual that you won't notice it from week to week. And you seem like you process things by writing, so it helps you THINK, too.

So, every time you make a mental list, turn it into a physical list. Get a 3-subject notebook from Walmart for $1.50 and write everything down.
