I spent years successfully helping patients to understand this concept yet learned it myself only very recently. I am a recovering doctor who walked away from it all to explore a new life in France. Medicine is tough because people's lives hang in the balance of the work getting done, tricky business to be sure. For now I can exhale and live in a world where I am not irreplaceable, where if I miss a deadline there is no dire consequence. Thank you for reminding me that my newfound procrastination (I have discovered that I am highly skilled in this regard) is a gift. Peace, Bobbi Hello Christine,

Me, I'm a leave-things-until-the-11th-hour kinda gal Your sentence "The work always gets done, and if it doesn’t, the world continues to turn" could be said about anything really couldn't it. I was thinking about this very thing (the world carrying on) as I sat. Because it does. Around me. Whether I participate fully in it or not Anyway. Back to you. My mind does wander! Well done. Very much looking forward to the new book x Nicely done with finishing early. Me, I’m a leave-things-until-the-11th-hour kinda gal

This is a triumph. In the future, if you ever get overwhelmed and forget this simple truth that the work always does get done, read Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott--or, if time strapped, just the beginning. Whenever I get freaked out by seemingly impossible deadlines I simply remind myself: Bird by bird. Bird. By. Bird. Congratulations! This is a triumph.
