Introduction

I love this picture that was shared by The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook here:

I often feel under pressure to get things done, and usually there is no real pressure at all. I have been saddled with a major unexpected work issue that I need to fix in 48 hours, but that is my deadline, not anyone else's.

Do I Have The Time?

I think part of this is from past bad experiences where I was put into impossible situations and then berated whether I failed or succeeded. I am now in a place where I am supported, but whenever I get a lot of things to do, I feel the pressure, then prioritise and then get everything done.

I really don't do stress.

If I am catching a train or a bus, I usually go out extra early, which sometimes gives me time to kill, but it means I am always extra calm.

I know that I do have the time, and I have the ability to plan things.

With my writing, I have two books that I need to put together; one is an art book, but I am still publishing the pieces for that on Vocal. Vocal has enabled me to publish a lot of books on Amazon, and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Conclusion

I was wondering what to write about this morning, and whether I would have time to write and publish, and I saw I had saved the White Rabbit with his watch image, and this happened.

Thank you for reading, and the music is "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane.
