Zigzag
Every day I feel like I'm running a sprint. Full steam ahead. No looking back. Pedal to the metal.
Which works if you are busy checking tasks off a list. But if you're trying to untangle or change more complicated inbred behaviors, sprints don't cut it. Sometimes you need to grind out a marathon before reaching the finish line.
If your marathon feels more like a zigzag, take heart. We'll all get there eventually.
