Today was the day I had the most free time to work on my projects.
I got started, and 10 minutes later, I was still getting started.
Then, 20 minutes passed.
Then, I discovered an outage in my area, which prevented me from accessing the internet and, therefore, bricked my laptop.
The LinkedIn post I wrote was meant to be released around 10 a.m. Thanks to the outage, it was released around 12:30 p.m.
And by the afternoon, I hadn’t even started my project, which was due tonight.
And I still haven’t published my daily draft.
All because I was still waiting for the internet.
At first, I was upset.
Then, I stepped away from the constant reloading on my screen to do something else, like reading.
I read for a few hours, considered what I needed to write, and then took a 20-minute nap.
I woke up feeling energized and poised.
Apparently, there was still an outage, but the internet was fast enough for me to finish my project and publish this draft.
I bid my time, and it turned out just fine.
Possibly better than if I hadn’t.
Here’s my quote for the day.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
