your daily rock : do the hard things first
We all have lists. Long lists, ranging from “get more cat food” to “be a mother to my children” to “finish writing the Great American Novel.” It’s easy to look at that list and feel overwhelmed, and paralyzed. More often than not, we veer toward the simple tasks, those ones …
