1,000 Days of Piano - Day 97: Catching Up

Everyone knows that the trick to catching up is to do a little more than usual each day. Before you know it, you’ll be on target again. It’s even better when you don’t fall behind in the first place. Yet what happens when you’re plagued with whatever caused you to fall behind in the first place?

Don’t look. It’s the opposite of my usual strategy of measuring how fall I’ve fallen behind and calculating how long it will take me to catch up. I figure if I don’t look, I won’t get discouraged. So I don’t look. I do my best and trust to providence. I can work and worry or work and wonder. If I’m going to do the work, I might as well have the wonder.
