Ducks on a pond

Have you ever seen ducks gliding effortlessly across a pond?

At least it looks like they're gliding effortlessly until you look under the water and see their little feet working like mad.

That's what I feel like sometimes. I'm getting things done and making great progress on projects, seemingly with almost no effort. But behind the scenes, I'm working like mad.

Sometimes it's the other way around That's when I'm working like mad (at least it looks like I am), but not much is getting accomplished.

That's the story of the RV lifestyle. Sometimes you're making great progress on projects, and sometimes you're not. The good news is that, usually, you don't have to be on a schedule. Most of the time, when you feel like you're on a schedule, it's an artificial schedule you set for yourself.

We're all guilty of setting unrealistic schedules and then feeling stressed when we don't meet the artificial deadline we set for ourselves.

Bottom line: Remember that one of the main reasons you started living the RV lifestyle was to have less stress in your life, so try not to create stress by setting artificial deadlines.
