I did it again. I spent the day making elaborate checklists for school next week and then I realized that following those checklists was going to suck the joy out of learning. When will I learn? Education isn't about making our way through a certain number of books in a school year, it is about savoring knowledge and using that knowledge to better our own life and the lives of those around us.
As others have said: It is a marathon not a race.
We need to have goals. We need to progress towards those goals. But, if we dash toward the goals we will miss the journey.
Deep breath. Try again.
