Happy February. It’s over. We’ve got a slew of really long months ahead. We’ve got no real holidays (in the US) to speak of until Memorial Day in late May. I’m not trying to bum you out. This is a reality check. If you can, take a moment to book a few days off. All this wonderful work doesn’t happen without space, time, and a little good stress. If you don’t take care of yourself–who will?
