#890: Creating a sense of accomplishment even when progress is slow

Every day this week I've been inviting the members of Sustainably Creative you to work alongside me for twenty minutes during the podcast. Will you join me today?

Before we settle down to a little work today I talk about a couple of strategies I use to help give me a sense of accomplishment when a particularly knotty project doesn't feel as though it is getting very far very fast.
