"Focus on the journey, not the destination.
Joy is found not in finishing an activity, but in doing it."
—Greg Anderson, cancer survivor

If you're having trouble writing your portfolio, try writing about how you FEEL about writing your portfolio. Maybe there's something holding you back that has nothing to do with your portfolio, or maybe there's some part of the process that you need help with. That's OK.

I sometimes discover that it's just one part of a project that I'm dreading, so if I can work on something else, I'm still moving toward my goal and enjoying the process more. When I was in the sixth grade my mother typed my report on ancient Greece. To my teacher, the important thing wasn't the presentation of the material, but how I put my thoughts together. Yes, form is important, but your portfolio isn't a typing test.

Remember, one page a day or one image prepped and inserted into your document is one more step towards the end. Focus on the part of the portfolio process that you love and you'll be moving along again.

No one said it would be easy, but it WILL BE worthwhile.
