It's fine if I'm promoting something or actually connecting with friends, but too often I caught myself aimlessly scrolling for no good reason. I definitely noticed it made me unhappy, and I wasted way too much time.<br /><br />Joanna definitely shares some great advice. I just ordered one of her marketing books.J.H.

It's slower going than I'd like, but I'm not stressing over it. My momentum will pick up soon... maybe. If not soon, then eventually.

I'm having a tough time finding a rhythm right now - this transition phase is like Daylight's Saving Time every day. As for running - just put on your shoes and go. I had an 8-week hiatius due to injury. I'm more than a bit annoyed at how long it is taking to get back up to speed. But it's about the process as much as the end result. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-56233861013198028232018-05-24T07:49:47.031-04:002018-05-24T07:49:47.031-04:00That comparisonitis drives me crazy because I'...That comparisonitis drives me crazy because I'm usually happy for the person while also being miserable for myself.
