Member-only story
Over the past couple of weeks, my activity here on Medium has been pretty quiet — in fact, I’ve hardly used the platform at all.
And the reason for this has been that my family and I took a three-week vacation, deciding to take the kids back to the U.K and Ireland to visit their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins — we currently live in New Zealand.
I had planned on making time during the travel and whilst over there to write and keep my progress on Medium moving forward but it didn’t quite work out that way — as is the case most of the time when making plans involving the kids, all you parents out there will know what I’m talking about.
It became obvious pretty quickly that these ‘romantic fantasies’ of writing while travelling with the family were gonna be somewhat of a challenge.
So, instead of stressing myself out when I failed to meet my daily writing goals — which was inevitable — I decided to just take some time off.
Yes, I know, I know.
If I had of tried a little harder I could have met these goals and still have a fun-filled family holiday.
And I did try — a little.
