(practically stopped)“Shit. Okay. Well the other idea was for an email campaign - Sidenote: need to remember to reply to that email from…”
BOOM. It all unravels.Your energy is suddenly anxious, and your thoughts begin to turn to“Ohmygod I’m totally doing it again…I can’t believe I forgot to…Did I check my bank account yesterday…?”
