I'm doing 24 things
Yet I feel that since I first articulated it here, it has become more and more natural. Maybe this is part of aging. Maybe seeing that relentless incrementalism really DOES get results. I can always get on my own case - but also, I can see when I do that and shift to a more self-loving and gentle approach. Less energy wasted in self-excoriation means more to use to actually do something, incremental or otherwise. Joy!
