Fifty Days of Small Steps: Days 10/50 & 11/50
Following on from my accidental slow bread making, here is a podcast in four parts in which I intentionally aim to make a loaf of bread over twenty-four hours.
It's an experiment in going slowly and in small steps which turns into a bit of a ponder about product vs process, deadlines and enjoying what we’re doing.
Spoiler: I don't quite finish the loaf during the podcast, but I’ve postied a Podcast Extra video over on Patreon that includes the finished loaf (and some lambs!). Watch if for free here.

During the podcast I mention a couple of quotes that found their way to me. Here they are:

Life is found only in the present moment. I think we should have a holiday to celebrate this fact. We have holidays for so many important occasions – Christmas, New Year's, Mother's Day, Father's Day even Earth Day – why not celebrate a day when we can live happily in the present moment all day long? I would like to declare today "Today's Day", a day dedicated to touching the Earth, touching the sky, touching the trees, and touching the peace that is available in the present moment.

As soon as the mind contracts a future with our intentions unfolding into it, we are away from the current source of happiness. We believe ardently that thinking, planning, and policing our future will make us happy. Counter-intuitively it's the thing that is making us unhappy.
