Thank you, everyone!

Yes, the meditation helps me a lot with focus, but like with the exercise, I am bad about implementing it every day.

You are all right and it is a matter of practice. I just wish I could remember to stop with the worrying and start with the action much sooner than I do. I think I am looking for a magic trick to use that doesn't exist when really I need to just be more consistent about doing what I already know I need to do.

I did hear back from the conference organizer. I didn't misunderstand anything. She's overwhelmed and behind schedule.
