You can switch at any moment.

Take my shed for example.

It once was a shed.

Then it became a therapy office.

Now.

It’s becoming a workshop.

When it was an office, I collected boxes and boxes of recipe cards filled with ideas and lots of writing.

Today?

I thew away the cards.

I tossed my ideas into the bin.

Their boxes are useful.

Once upon a time they held ideas.

Meow they hold tools, fasteners, measures and blades.

Make room for the tools.

Get to work.

You can switch at any moment.

Go.
