I Sleep With Books
I don’t know what your bedtime routine is but I know mine, and it goes like this: ”Get out of my way, I’ve lost all my good humor. I don’t care if the house is hit by a freight train I’M GOING TO BED.” And then I go to bed. And then I read. It might be for three minutes
How To Avoid Your Own World War
Adapted from and inspired by The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield That, my friends, is a clean sheet of paper. A fresh new start.
