you have to be patient with yourself
says my Sunday and smiles at me
there might have been a day
where you have been more productive
but there was work to do
and you still haven’t reached your goal

what has been the goal?

if you say: being more productive
you didn’t get the idea yet
of how to be more productive
because being productive
isn’t about being more productive
it’s about tiny steps moving forward
enjoying finishing something tiny
like writing an email
or just a message you carried around for days

don’t do it later
do it now

having something done means
having it off your chest
and most importantly
having it out of your mind

be kind to yourself tomorrow
start with something easy
that doesn’t need much time
to get done

once you’ve got that finished
this will be the firm ground
of moving on
towards bigger goals

but always remember
it’s the tiny steps forward
that make reaching your goal.
