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.

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 I 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.
