@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i think that, after getting the go-ahead that things are cool, whatever pace you're comfortable with is the best option..!
but also, if you want to do more things in general, but also have unwanted pushback in your mind with no discernable external factors, that also means that you're uncomfortable with taking it slow as slow as you are, and you can use that as a justification to push yourself forward
i do this with a lot of things, because i'm super-anxious about a lot ^^'
