There is a time for rest and a time for work. And the rest time won’t do what it needs if we are too caught up thinking we should work :)
I feel the self-imposed pressure to achieve my goals and pay attention to my metrics on here — but when I get too caught up in that I try to remind myself ‘why’ I’m doing this writing thing. And it’s certainly not for subscribers — it’s for the joy I get from the act of writing itself. :)
Hey, take care of yourself! People understand. I had COVID, or something similar, five times last year, and it was so debilitating. At the end of it, I was down to eight-four pounds. Not a goal of mine, believe me. Happy 2024, and I hope you're feeling better soon.

Very good insights, thanks a lot Michael:)
Yes it feels right, the joy and rest time is more important than the "grind"!

Rest and regain balance. And don't worry.
Thanks Michael!

Thanks you Diana! Yes, I will..did you have any other long term symptoms after that? Happy 2024 to you too:)
I didn't, Tobias, but lots of others did. Long COVID is a thing. I hope you recover as fully as I did.
Thank you so much!🙏🏼 Yes, still need to learn how to truly and fully give myself the permission to rest without "doing" much stuff in those times.
