Sometimes it seems like my personal and professional desires are in conflict. For instance, "I want more time to just freethink" might collide with necessary focus on a manuscript. Or "I don't want to feel any pressure" fights with a looming deadline. But they align when I can look ahead, plan, and relax into a task.

Oh my, yes - the friction!! I can absolutely relate to this. Preparation helps so much. Relaxing into the task is something I personally do some days better than others.

Loved seeing this, Jen! Getting ready to turn in my next book to Copper Canyon and desire is one of the—if not the main—theme!💫
