Wise words Megan, and so much relatable stuff (including, but not limited to, the real strategizing involved with when to wash our hair). I especially loved this line:

"Instead, her sage wisdom stemmed from the notion that when time becomes a more limited resource, you’re forced to move more confidently and efficiently."

I relate to this as I feel like the busier and more ambitious I am, the more clear-eyed I am about how I do (and don't) want to spend my time, and with whom. I'm also deeply driven by deadlines/external validation/accountability...I think so many writers crave some level of these external touchpoints, to feel like we're not living our entire lives inside our own heads. : )

This is so relatable to nearly every writer I know. I love how you put your own personal experience into you stories, it helps us to see ourselves in these moments. Great share!
