A brief announcement: Beyond the Margins will now release new editions on the 14th and 28th of every month. Keep an eye out in your inbox during those times in the month 🚀.

Hi Authors,

We’re nearing the end of the year, so to help you get to the final stretch, we’ve compiled a few articles from the archives that show how to get through that slog.

To help you finish the kinds of things you dread doing and put off for weeks, the kinds of things that make you want to open up your phone and do anything but that, the stuff that nearly draws a cold because of how daunting it is.

Without further ado, here are a few things to get you through those tough moments:

• Make it smaller (then smaller still!):
