Hitting the Brakes

Hitting the Brakes

My progress since I joined WA was going at a nice, casual rate, with taking a little time each day to do some training, or reading member's blogs. My site only has several (5) articles so far, with all of them being indexed. So far, so good one would think, but starting several days ago, my tendency to be a distracted perfectionist struck again. It also didn't help that I became mentally distracted.

Perhaps it is safe to say that I am taking a short break. However, that does not mean I'm allowing myself to slack or neglect my training as I work on the OEC level 3 courses. I'll be returning to the training, my website, and will attempt to increase my engagement with my fellow WA members.

Sometimes hitting the brakes can be a good thing, but never let it lead to self-sabotaging complacency.
