In response to my recent piece on How to Get Over Procrastination in a Day, a reader wrote:

“I want to thank you for your recent blog on how you avoided writing one day and had self-compassion. When I read it, I was having a “blank mind” day, filled with personal and writerly insecurities; and when I read that, I gave myself permission to do other things and remembered the rest of the day to be compassionate. By the late afternoon, I did some editing, and felt pleased and relaxed to do so. Reading your inner thoughts “I’m a failure” etc, helped me to feel that I am not alone, and that if you could do this, so could I.”
