Press Pause
Congrats! You’ve accomplished a huge thing!
Before immediately jumping into the next one, press pause. Bask in your accomplishment: the next thing can wait!
In today’s fast-paced world, there’s so much pressure (both external and internal) to go go go, so it can be quite hard to allow yourself to take a break. But taking a break is (a) well-deserved, and (b) likely to give you a better result when you’re able to start your next project with a full charge.
As you near the end of a big project, make a commitment in your Project Quartz journal to pause before the next one. Define a minimum length for your pause, and guidelines for what you’re going to do and not do during it.

If/when inspired, during or after the pause, reflect on this experience.
