"Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."

- tumblr post by bananonbinary: one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving. DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU'RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE. reply by aredheadhatchet: One of my college professors used to say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.” I didn’t understand that for years because I didn’'t do anything poorly, I couldn’t do anything poorly, I had to Do Everything Perfectly. But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting. Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible. Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible. Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because | don’t have the energy to go anywhere. Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly... because doing it poorly is better than not doing it. (remote)
