Go, go, go...

So the old cheer is:

Go, go, go--
go, go
go, go!  

Fight, fight, fight--
fight, fight
fight, fight!  

Win, win, win--
win, win,
win, win!

Some of you may be too young to know about this cheer.  I feel like cheering you on.  Or cheering you up!

A teacher said, "I still feel overwhelmed."  My answer was, "It's time to quit being overwhelmed, and I think the way to stop being overwhelmed is going to be to complete the writing of one of your components."

I say that because, after you've done the writing, you will have been through the process with one component.  Now you just repeat for the rest of your components.

Your "Aha-moment" will probably be after you've been through the process at least once.

If you are still overwhelmed, can you take a professional leave day and go somewhere no one will speak to you?  You have four professional leave days available to you.  Since child care is already arranged, can you go somewhere to work?  Can you make yourself write the whole thing?  You will be okay once you get that first draft done.

Go, Fight, Win!
