Do More, Sooner

Each semester brings a new lesson with it, outside of the book work.  My life lesson from last spring was “do more, sooner.” I find myself repeating this throughout the day, as a reminder that there is always more work to do, and even if it feels like I’m caught up (no, never) that it’sContinue reading “Do More, Sooner”
