(http://www.write4life.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/JT_NathanOhren1-300x300.png)Recovering from pneumonia was precisely the reminder I needed to breathe deeply, and move forward on my most important projects in a steady, self-compassionate pace.

Before then, I had been burning the candle at both ends, pushing myself to work harder, faster and smarter than ever. Now that I'm healthy and getting back into my stride, I'm confronted with mountains of tasks, and a gnawing urge to catch up to where I would have been if I hadn't gotten sick. Can you feel me?

In this episode, I share a favorite 5-minute journaling technique, which I call the Ta-Da! List, for when I'm overwhelmed and need a system for making small steps of progress on the things that matter most.

This episode is also a grand unveiling for three exciting projects I've been working on.(http://www.write4life.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/CLTTimage_02-300x300.jpg)
