Amalia's thoughts on week 36

Good morning friends! ☕

I totally feel like I'm in my tornado era. I usually have one or two of those every year, where all my for and non profit committments clash at the same time, while other really fun projects knock on my door 😅

And these times always make me feel insufficient.

But I also know it's usually very short little blips in time.

Soon I'm going to be bored again, needing to get something new on my hands. Instead of stressing about it like I did before, I now take a deep breath and try to think as a startup founder, "live for today", eating the elephant one bite size at a time.

So this is a reminder to you now that autumn starts and everything is everywhere all at once - make sure to say no, to explain your situation, and to have people around you that gives you grace. And wait out the storm.

And if the storm never ends - say no to stuff. As Ron Swanson said so wisely to Leslie Knope in the series Parks & recreation: "Never half-ass two things, whole-ass one thing."

So, I'm giving myself some grace in this newsletter today, and hope you do too!

Let's dig in ⛏️
