Love the advice here. I've come to the conclusion that there are sometimes no other ways around something other than through it. The mistake I always make is presenting something as a "must-do" rather than a "just-do". January has been very illuminating as I've kicked this practice into gear.
Also looking forward to Slow Productivity - already gulped down the pre order bonuses!

I'm thrilled it resonated and your advice to 'just do' is spot on. I'll be adopting that mantra.
