When I have trouble focusing on work or even starting, I go for an easy win. In my case, it’s picking a short and simple article to write—something familiar that I can knock out in a few minutes. For myself at least, it helps kind of break the ice & makes the harder stuff appear less insurmountable

The tempered chocolate layer under the cream was still too thick, so hard to break through (not tough to chew, thankfully). But I really like the tempered chocolate wedges in the top. I think from now on, chocolate ganache between the frangipane and cream. Then these wedges for the crunch.

Basically "don't surrender". From the War of 1812—final words of Captain Lawrence during a battle with the British. Now a motto of the U.S. Navy.
