Notes on doing it — Day #352: Take advantage of your down days
Small steps forward are still steps in the right direction
It sucks. But it’s unavoidable. You will have days where you feel drained and exhausted. Doing a lot of great work on days like that aren’t realistic. However, one way of staying somewhat productive and getting a sense of victory is to take care of some small task that you have been postponing forever. Because that way you won’t have to deal with those things on the days where you’re firing on all cylinders. And that feels amazing. At least that’s what I have found.
Clean that corner you’ve been neglecting for too long. Get that junk drawer sorted out. Or read a page or two in the book on your bedside table.
All you can do is work with what you have. Some days that’s just not much. But as long you just keep moving forward you will make progress. No matter what tempo you’re moving in.
