A Nice Routine

The visible progress you’re hoping for usually comes slower than you’d like. Even with consistent effort it can take a long time before progress feels significant. It might be a year of writing and editing before the book really starts to come together. You may need two years of recovery from a major injury before you notice just how far you’ve come. It may take two years of yoga before you realize how flexible you have become.

Take a deep breath, stop worrying about immediate results, and settle into a nice routine.
—James Clear

That’s what I’m doing now. Figuring out the nice routine I want to settle into. So far it’s going well…there’s no hurry.

    That’s a good way of looking at it. I’ve always wanted immediate results or I get discouraged and quit. I need to just establish a nice routine.

  3. yes to a nice routine, that helps you recover.

  4. MadSnapper says:

    I always always want immediate results. I did have to wait 18 months to lose the 70 pounds.. weight loss has to have a new routine and it takes a lot of time. Hope you find the perfect routine in your new normal.. I am a routine type person, and have to have one to function.. so this means maybe a year from now I will be able to draw better pictures? ha ha
