Patience and Expectations

Several times lately I have told people, or just noticed, that different things in my life are going slowly. This includes my writing projects, my thesis project, the papers I've been grading and even aspects of my personal scripture study.

After a few different comments and some of my own ponderings I realized there was some reasons for this.

The first problem: Some of these projects I don't spend that much time. This last week I only spent a half hour at the most per day on my writing. Is it any wonder I haven't made very fast progress?

The second problem: My expectations tend to be too hopeful at times. I expect to be able to do a bit project in a week... even when I am working on it most of the work/school day that might not happen, because guess what? It's a big project!

On occasion I have been told I'm patient... maybe in some things, but apparently not in expectations.
