You should take a lot of pride in actually making measurable dents in Doing Everything. The book is certainly a big chunk of your energy expenditure lately, and that totally makes sense, because there's a lot to be done, especially the first time around. But!

When I look at the list of things you got done last month, it pretty well amazes me. Let it amaze you, too!
