What if Saturday becomes Sunday?
What happens if you do not manage to finish a task?

After publishing for 23 weeks on Saturdays, today is the first time I am publishing the newsletter on a Sunday.
I had a very busy week, a good week, but really busy with work and PhD meetings with my supervisor (my favourite time of the month!) and generally I did not plan ahead for the newsletter.
I was thinking, should I skip this week? I did not want to write just anything just to say that I brought out a newsletter.
So this morning, I was reading the Sunday newspaper (my favourite thing to do on Sunday! Lots of favourites in this newsletter : ) and I thought - tackle your issue! You did not manage to do it on Saturday, do it on Sunday and write about failures. Is this a failure though? I am not even sure I like using the word failure.
Small failures - bigger failures. Failure to organise my time correctly. What do I do when I am teaching all day and do not have time to study for my PhD? Do it another day. It’s okay!
What do you do when a project fails? Let it go for a while, and then tackle it again if you can - or change it up completely.

How do you face yourself when things do not go according to plan? It’s okay, don’t bring yourself down and move on. Do whatever makes you feel better, leave it behind.
Does it matter if you are publishing on a Sunday instead of a Saturday? Maybe the readers were a bit confused and I apologise, but you can still read it today - and I hope that is okay for you!
