For the woman who keeps finishing the sentence “by now I should have…” This free printable worksheet helps you trace where those expectations came from, name the season you are actually in, and stop doing work that belongs to a season you are not in. It pairs with the blog post Harvest Doesn’t Rush.

What's inside

• By now I should have… — every version, written down
• Where each expectation came from: the person or the source
• Planting, growing, harvest, or fallow — naming your real season and why
• What this season legitimately requires of you this week
• One sentence of long patience to say out loud tomorrow
• A verse to sit with: James 5:7

Who it's for

Christian women who feel behind in life, in faith, or in a calling, and who are tired of measuring themselves against someone else’s timeline.

How to use it

Answer honestly rather than aspirationally. The worksheet works best when it is unflattering. Twenty quiet minutes is enough.

Common questions

What if I do not know which season I am in? Write what you suspect and why. Naming it tentatively is still naming it.

Is this only for fall? No. It is part of the October issue, but it works any time you feel behind.
