I don't know about anyone else, but I surely needed this reminder.

I've changed careers more than once; I recently caught myself running headfirst into burnout because I didn't feel like I was progressing fast enough.

Thanks, as always, for helping us put things into better perspective, David!

I have been thinking about the value of slow progress in growing my Substack, especially the network on Notes. So this is a real synchronous moment! Great article.

I appreciate that Tim. I can relate on Substack. I just moved my newsletter over a few months ago. I’m still learning how to use notes. Looking forward to growing with you.
