Slow and Steady

This week I realized small increments of knitting, say 20 minutes at a time, are more likely to happen than long periods of time like I originally thought. At first my lofty goal was one hour three times a day to sit down and unwind. This is proving to be unrealistic. Mainly because my internal dialogue says "you don't have an hour right now" so I end up never sitting down at all. My solution this week has been to forgo the attempt at a whole hour and try smaller increments more frequently. So far so good, even though it has only been two days. I have already found it easier to sit down and knit for 20 to 30 minutes as a study break or reading break in the evenings. This helps break up studying, because who likes to study/read for 4 hours straight anyways.
