For the first time in nearly a decade, I have almost no need to check my email. The only important emails I am expecting are about plans for events for my kids. I woke this morning, and all of my emails were shopping ads. No urgent must reads or "There is a meeting next Tuesday" announcements. All of my mail came in my "promotions" section of gmail.
I remember once when I was at Ernst & Young and my project was in dormant phase. The project was being reviewed by the executive staff, and there were nothing to do until they gave us direction for the next phase. It drove me crazy. When I talked to my boss about it, she said to be grateful for the down time. Something else will come next.
This blog is about the little and big thoughts that pop into my head. I once read that when Flannery O'Connor walked into a bookstore, she would want to edit her published works with a red pen. In the digital world, we have the luxury of tweaking things up after we've hit the publish button. I can be a perfectionist/procrastinator, where waiting for the ideal means little gets done. Here I will share what is not--and likely will never be--perfect.
