Since starting 2023 I've been pretty ambitious about the things I want to improve in my business and personal life. It's this weird feeling of making up for lost time, that I have trouble articulating.

A few things that I am proud of include, maintaining my streak of publishing my weekly newsletter, A Life Worth Living. I invite you to check out the past letters and sign up at harryduran.com.

If you're reading this, you're also likely aware of the Ship30for30 writing challenge I signed up for this month, where I committed to posting one Atomic Essay per day.

I missed yesterday's post, which was a bummer. But it's been helpful to reflect on it this morning. Yesterday (Sunday) was a day of doing my best to disconnect from screens. I read a physical book and even got a solid workout in. As the day progressed, I kept thinking about my daily essay, but by the time evening had rolled around, it was clear that was not going to happen. And I had to be OK with that.

If you've been pushing hard to keep your 2023 goals humming along, please give yourself some grace when you miss a day. It will happen, and it's OK. Don't let be an excuse to relax too much, LOL. Get back on that horse and use the time off as a reset of your commitment. And yes, that's means you can expect another essay later today :)
