I woke up at 5:30.
Scrolled reels before breakfast.
Back in bed—contemplating:
Reels? TV? Writing? Sleep?
🌀 Yesterday, during our Live Event, Karen Salmansohn dropped this truth-bomb:
“We are all mortal—quit dawdling!”
It hit me.
Because I dawdle.
A lot.
If you missed Karen’s wise, inspirational and funny conversation, you can see here:
Here’s my current Dawdle List:
Cleaning my basement
Home repairs
Taxes
Bills
Finances
Exercise
Cancelling subscriptions I don’t use
Finishing my webinars
Publishing Substack posts
Sending emails
Journaling
Meditating
...And the list goes on.
But then again…
So as I “dawdled,” I googled Dawdle, put my journal entry into Chat, turned that into this Substack post and a LinkedIn Newsletter, went back into IMovie to find the video with Karen, edited the video, made a new one, sent it to Final Cut Pro, uploaded it to YouTube, downloaded it to my computer, uploaded it to Substack and LinkedIn…
…And now I’m thinking of going back to sleep.
So, do I dawdle
— or do I just find creative reprieves from my manic spurts of productivity?
Maybe it depends on how I feel afterwards:
Rested or guilty?
Replenished or ashamed?
Maybe the better question is:
Can I just give myself a break and go with the sacred flow of my energy?
Or am I sometimes living near-life experiences on autopilot?
To be continued…
With love and curiosity,

A Gentle Whisper for You
“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
Your dawdle might be your body’s way of saying:
“Pause. Something’s trying to bloom.”
So today, maybe we don’t quit dawdling.
Maybe we just get curious about it.
