I have a mountain of work in front of me, maybe two mountains.
It’s hard for my mind to take a break, especially between 2 and 4 am. My defences are down when I’m asleep, allowing my denialing nature to rattle my brain. I have learned that if I reposition myself in my rocking chair in our downstairs kitchen when my mind is racing, it calms me down and reboots me into a calmer state. I’m able to gain a couple of more hours of sleep before transitioning into my daily chores and then my day’s work.
I start every day’s work by reviewing what my assistants did the previous day. Selecting the best examples of their work is a positive and realistic approach that guides us into the coming hours.
And then it’s my turn to present the overall idea, which is quite challenging since it’s still in its developmental stage.
I approach this void by creating studies, blending what we have already accomplished with my imagination. Working this way helps us stay on relatively solid ground, minimizing the costly and time-consuming mistake of going too far down the wrong path.
