Sometimes you have to just wait for things to settle down, shift gears and pause. Not because you can’t do it all at once, but because things take time.

Bread dough needs to rise. Sauces and soups need to sit with the ingredients together to blend and meld into one rather than distinctive taste profiles. Ice cream needs to chill.

Projects have a preparation, development and completion phase. Sometimes you have to go back and revisit initial steps, or even start over – or edit and re-write.

Of course, it is easier said than done when you are in a hurry, impatient or hungry.

Don’t tell other people to just wait, that won’t go over well. But, you may need to tell it to your own self and then be patient with time. You can’t control everything, but you can at least control how you react.
