Being lost in your mind is an entirely different thing than being lost on the road. On the road you can
pay attention to things like street signs and landmarks, or if you're really in a pickle you can rely on
that creepy guy at the gas station to give you directions.
The mind is completely different. Your mind is that 12 foot tall bush maze from the shinning. Scary
shit, and I'm not talking about the twins. You're in a race from everything, from all the stress at home,
at work, with school, with friends and let's not forget from that crazy mother fucker with the axe.
It's hard to sit and relax when it's below zero in northern Oregon, Okay enough Steven King
references, point is you need you time. You can't keep traveling if you don't know where you're going
and there's only so many times you can visit that creepy man at the gas station.
I think everyone needs to focus on one thing a day and also set a weekly goal, that way they aren't
overwhelmed by the road map.
So let's say for examples sake you decide everyday "I am going to read a chapter in "said book"" and
for your weekly goal it would be to have read 7 chapters by Sunday, or for you wild risk takers, 8
chapters by Sunday because you don't live by the rules and fuck math.
Point is you can do it, I believe in you.

I am a believer in weekly goals. I set them for myself and my students. Keep on, sister.
