It wasn't until recently I UNDERSTOOD the importance of doing one thing at a time instead of doing so much at once. We're human beings, not robots. We are not designed to work in a manner that is destructive to us.

When I was in 10th grade, I wanted to be a sports commentator. Not because I "liked" sports but because the money in being a commentator looked good. I was attracted to the glitter and glam but not the work that came with it. It took me MANY years to get out of this mindset.

I love this post and you dropped a lot of wisdom here!
