This is reminding me of the fortune cookie that told me "The reward of patience is patience."

My wrangler, with whom I have a weekly meeting which I refer to as "renting some executive function", pointed out recently that I have completed three large finance-related To Do things that have been on my list for a long time. This is excellent. Now I move on to the need-to-do things that were on that list fully as long but were not quite as survival-related in terms of direness.

(My wrangler continues to be one of the most high-return things I pay for someone to do.)

The things that have moved to forefront positions involve (mostly) art and the things around art that make the art possible. It's interesting to have a To Do list that doesn't start with "Work on X, Y, and Z financial things until the screaming point, and then go to the workbench until you're OK again."

(Workbench time improves everything except overuse and inflammation in the hands and arms.)

I guess I should think of a thing that's a relief from workbench, in order to have something to rest my hands during the say.

Huh. I've recently begun listening to podcasts, which is a thing I mostly do while watching the live captions on screen, unless the podcasters are really good at enunciation, very cleanly recorded and produced, and in the range of sounds I can hear better. Stuff I don't need to watch captions for quite so assiduously can be played while I am at the workbench, if it's that kind of workbench day. Maybe I could save the challenging ones for breaktime? Rest my hands, ice what needs icing, watch the words while I listen to the podcast?

Do any of you have favorite podcast episodes? I'm a person that loves documentaries and that loved interviewing people about their passions back when I was a small-time journalist.
