Weeknotes – S08E16 – Do Less To Do More

Summary: I’m liking ‘taking a day off’ that turns into getting a ton of useful stuff done that usually slips off the bottom of the to-do list!   Monday: I finished editing the interview book and sent it back to the author for review and approval. I also edited a large chunk more of the […]
