When I was in paid employment, each time I was about to go on leave I would go into overdrive - working late into the night to complete every task on my desk or radar, including those that had been hanging around for months. I didn't feel I'd enjoy my vacation unless these old tasks were cleared. This feels a bit the same to me - clearing the decks to plunge into your big task. I may be projecting. In any case the result is good. It's really creative and interesting and. like all creativity, generates more work! I'm full of admiration.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-66188868880016446622015-12-08T14:21:36.187-05:002015-12-08T14:21:36.187-05:00What a great exercise.
