Thank you for writing this Jo. I’m often feeling overwhelmed with everything I need to do, and this really helps. Sometimes I just have to list things in order of priority for that day and accept that the things at the bottom of the list won’t get done just yet.

I've had this saved in my in box since you sent it - just made the time to read it (the irony isn't lost ; ). Thank you. 'What CAN I do / achieve today?' is now going on the top of every page of my 'to do' list : )

...and thank you for making the time to share our post yesterday - always appreciated x

Sometimes an email just slides in to your inbox like it was sent from the god's of procrastination. i so needed to read this today. Just left my job after 10 years to set up a business with two colleagues. It's MENTAL!

What can I get done today was just what i needed to say to myself.

Now....where's the remote for the Match. The rest will have to wait!

Thanks Jo - love living precariously through you in London and reading your journalistic joy

Love this Jo, thank you. One thing you did well today? Made me breathe, relax and make a mental note to re-read this when my elephant(s) seem inedible...you're a star, and I love your weekly emails. Thank you for finding the time to write them and bring a spark of joy and wisdom to my inbox. Diana x
