Yes, yes, yes! Also, really interesting to notice that there was a layer of ‘what’s wrong with me’ at the fact that I seem to be one of the very few people who doesn’t get excited about the tapering off, so this was ironically a good reminder that that’s okay too 🤣🥰
I honestly don't know if I will want to taper this week either. Going from 5 days of writing to 4 took a load off my mind. Going from 4 to 3 has me feeling kind of disappointed I don't GET to write for 4, so if I have the energy I'm going to do it. The brilliant thing (I think) is that by consistently lowering the bar we get to congratulate ourselves whether we meet the number of days we're supposed to write OR exceed it. As someone who hates being told what to do that extra bit of agency is everything.
I am so glad to hear that this challenge is working for you!! Thank you for sharing these lessons with us -- I truly appreciate the mindset shift and will be applying it to my own writing life for sure. ❤️
