You are the only one who can truly judge your goals and how well you're meeting them.The world wants you to be responsible for something; there may well be a reason but you have to understand it and feel it yourself to be comfortable and confident in meeting that responsibility. Just having it assigned makes it a chore you can shirk, which you then might regret later.
I miss the days when I traveled cross country with nothing but a Rand McNally atlas. To be free of the fear and anxiety of not knowing "where I am" (I am right here!) again is my current goal.
However, now that traffic can be a mess in most cities (which I feel is new), I favor using my smartphone to avoid those situations when I can, but mostly I favor avoiding cities and taking the "long way" to preserve my sanity.
I live in a van so this is more of a challenge for me than the average commuter.

I love doing that. The more you do it, it gets easier too!

The author does not make this mistake (at least not conflating 0 and 1). But unaware readers (and misspellers) are often confused by the distinction.
