I’m still on step one of moving my entire yarn stash from my home to my yarn studio (my little “yarn house”)—and this time, I’m not frustrated about it. In this video I talk through what’s changed for me: I’m not trying to force my brain to power through a giant, overwhelming project anymore. I’m learning to work with it. That means I’m breaking the move into smaller, actually-doable steps and letting “progress” count even when it looks tiny from the outside. We get real about executive function, overwhelm, and that sneaky feeling that being “stuck on step one” must mean you’re failing. For me, it doesn’t. Sometimes the win is simply getting yarn into the car. Sometimes the win is touching the project at all and not spiraling. And while I’m untangling yarn, life is still happening—sweet moments with my granddaughter included—so I’m practicing letting both be true: real life can keep moving while progress is happening. One small stitch is still a stitch, and if you’ve been there, you’re not alone.
