it is all too easy to get swept up in all-or-nothing thinking. my house is messy so I either need to clean the entire thing or continue living in squalor. I have a shitload of work to do so I’ll either avoid it all or I have to block out 7 hours to get everything done. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!
Enter: just doing a little bit. I don’t have to do all the dishes, just a couple.
as a perfectionist, this is still a novel concept to me even after many years. i still relish the fact that I can be like “oh just do a little bit!” Like how cool.
