Preparation

I’ve been catching myself thinking about all the goals and projects that I wish to accomplish. At times I’m exhausted just thinking about them all. However, there is something I believe that can remedy some of the overwhelm I’m experiencing. And that, my friends, is preparation.

In the last few months, I’ve been taking on more contract writing jobs. As the workload began to increase, my writing strategy began to change. What worked once before, does not guarantee it will work again. I had to push myself outside of my comfort zone and start again from the basics. Outlining and drafting, which meant starting my process earlier than I’m used to.  

This is how I began to value the lesson of preparation. Acting now, in any way that I can, to better prepare myself to handle and take on more.

While we cannot prepare for every moment in life, we can take the steps now to get us closer to where we want to be.
