Inbox zero

It can be hard to initiate something new when it feels like your always responding.

Responding to incoming. Putting out fires. Building a backlog of stuff you’d like to get to later. Perusing through the cruft of what’s already there.

Sometimes it helps to simply hit reset. To terminate stale projects. To let go of things you missed. To move one, one step slightly towards a better future, with less regret.

Because, maybe, a clean slate is all you need.

After all, you can’t focus much on something if you’re responding to something else.
