I think I’m getting better at making a more manageable list for my week. Yesterday, I realised about 330 that I had finished my essentials and didn’t have the energy to try something new, so poked my head into my 6 year old’s room and said “want to cuddle up and read Percy Jackson?” We both felt like this was an amazing treat, and so much more restorative than looking at my email and trying to force myself to start something without the requisite energy. I’ve got 5 hours on the train this weekend so have queued up a bunch of work reading as next week is meeting heavy, and I’ll appreciate a bit of focused reading work/something writing related ticked off my list.

That sounds like a lovely way to end the work day early. Hope the train ride was manageable!
