Oh, hi friends!
What is a realistic timetable for completion?
I’m rereading The War of Art* and he says something — I’m paraphrasing here — about how professionals have realistic timetables for completing a task or achieving a goal because unrealistic timetables can cause burnout.
He also says he treats himself like a corporation and has a Monday morning “status meeting” where he considers his goals for the week…then types them up and prints them out so he knows exactly what he has to do.
Are your goals that clear?
Can they be?

As you know, I love the New York Mets now, and I ESPECIALLY love 82-year-old pitching coach Phil Regan, who apparently leaves inspiring little words of wisdom like the ones above for the team in the clubhouse.
Here’s another one: “Never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best.’’ (Say, that almost sounds like…a lyric!) And one more: “No player ever drowned in his own sweat.” (h/t Question Mark?)
Inside Broadway star Joel Grey’s magnificent West Village loft. That might just be the most perfect combination of words I’ve ever heard!
