The Sunday Summary #3
21.08.16
Welcome to the third edition of the Sunday Summary, a weekly post that recaps my previous seven days of Chapter-ing. This way, you can get a quick snapshot of my week, and delve in to any posts you might’ve missed.

Saturday
Progress without expectation becomes more surprising, more enjoyable. It becomes less a sigh of relief and more an opportunity to simply feel the scale of your achievement, however little or large.
