Same procedure as last week! Writing, layouting, daily reviews with Sarah. We also got back the color proofs we made with the printer and happy with the results so far. Getting there.

I’ve printed all 320 layouts in small size so we can physically finalise our page plan: always crazy but rewarding when you see the work in its entirety!

Unusually tough start to the week overall though. Fought my way through, but felt exhausted most afternoons. Power naps to the help.

Took a flight to Paris on Friday night to join S <3. We will finish the magazine here in the coming week.

Saturday we pushed and worked, Sunday we enjoyed the city and just walked the stress away, mainly in the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont and Cimetière Père Lachaise. Grateful to be here.

“If you’re procrastinating on something because you’re worried you won’t do a good enough job, you can relax — because judged by the flawless standards of your imagination, you definitely won’t do a good enough job. So you might as well make a start.” ~Oliver Burkeman
