“Motion allows us to feel like we’re making progress without running the risk of failure”. Atomic Habits by James Clear

Busyness culture is finally on the way out, we value our mental and emotional wellbeing, and in a post covid world we understand that working smarter and not harder is the more productive and sustainable way forward.

What are the things you’ve been planning for yourself but haven’t actually done? The bucket list items that are stuck in the realm of dreams. How often do you find yourself gathering resources, researching, or organizing instead of diving into a project?
How many books have you started researching or making notes for but not sat down to write?
