From the Ted Talk by Daniel J. Watts: To accomplish great things, you need to "let the paint dry"
Unscramble the Blue Letters
And then I started to think about all the other times when I wasn't letting paint dry, when I wasn't taking time away to let things heal, like when I was still dancing on two sprained aklens, even though the doctor told me I needed to take a break for a while. Or when I was trying to force closure in a newly broken-up relationship because I didn't want to deal with the hneliag poerscs. Or when I fussed out my reps because ... because nelfitx haven’t called to oeffr me a deal a week after my one-man show. All the times when I didn't want time to take the time it takes to reveal itself to me. All the times when I didn't believe that what I had already done was enough and that I didn't have to keep going back in with more color.

And then I started to think about all the other times when I wasn't letting paint dry, when I wasn't taking time away to let things heal, like when I was still dancing on two sprained ankles, even though the doctor told me I needed to take a break for a while. Or when I was trying to force closure in a newly broken-up relationship because I didn't want to deal with the healing process. Or when I fussed out my reps because ... because Netflix haven’t called to offer me a deal a week after my one-man show. All the times when I didn't want time to take the time it takes to reveal itself to me. All the times when I didn't believe that what I had already done was enough and that I didn't have to keep going back in with more color.
