The Long March

[rinue]

I have so much to do and so little time to do it in. And when I get a little time, I don't do the tasks: I rest, because rest is what I need most of all. This pace is unsustainable (and impermanent). I had a free day February 9 (when I caught up on tasks) and a free day March 9 (when I caught up on tasks). My next potential free day is May 24. It's all naps on trains and scribbling notes in waiting rooms and calls during lunch breaks. I'm operating in a hybrid of disco naps and infantry tactics: sleep whenever there's a chance to sleep, eat whenever there's food, make sure at least your socks are clean.
