For me it’s the calendar. Monday is a really big day for a lot of things. Importantly, closure to my childhood neighborhood.

So yeah, it’s an emotional weekend for sure.

Still, I’m pressing forward with all that I can do right now. Which is a lot but at the same not.

It’s a big ole self imposed block. It’s certainly an Achilles heel thing I’ve fought through over the decades. This time though it’s not that I’m fighting for perfection. Instead, I’m wrangling with progression.

I simply can’t move truly forward until Monday is wrapped.

So what do I do?

Rehearse. Research with intent not reset.

Drive my wife nuts.

What about you? How do you maintain patience when the obstacles are out of your control?
