Stepping away from work
My vacation has officially begun!!
This time, I didn’t do a mad dash to send the final set of emails. I didn’t feel the pressure of leaving. I eased into the end of the day like a car cruising along Route 66.
I could not believe I was the same person.
About 30 minutes before the day ended, I had this bright idea to update my planner with all the things I need to do when I return from vacation. Yes. I got my headphones and I was about to get it done.
4:33PM.
Three minutes over. I didn’t add everything I wanted. But it was perfect.
I kept a sticky note on my desk for the last couple weeks: progress over perfection.
That’s what I’ve been leaning into. And as the clock ticked to 4:35, I closed all my programs and stepped away.
