#74 Countdown

Congratulations everyone, we’re almost done with 2020! As we reach the final week of a year that’s brought so much upheaval to all our lives, there’s bound to be even more clock-watching than usual.

 

To channel this anticipation, this week we’re going to focus on counting things down. Whether it’s seconds, days, or tasks, striking through lists and calendars is both therapeutic and practical. So don’t let me hold you up! After all, time’s a-tickin’ and these stories aren’t going to write themselves!
