Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly

@agony yea i struggle with this.. requires a perspective change towards incremental, process-oriented (like art is done)

rather than completionist, result-oriented (like they teach in schools)

@agony If you don't have a whole ass, use what you've got. Half-assed is better than nothing.

This is THE EXACT ENERGY I need to be channeling rn.
Thank you for sharing <3
@agony I have a variant of this I say to anyone working on something big that you often put off or you feel guilty you aren't doing (art usually)-- if you do something each day then each day you've done a day's work.
@agony
Heh... I was identified as gifted in elementary school, but I never did care much about school so I never had the grades for them to do anything about it with. I think I accidentally took this advice to heart back then, and it's probably served me well. It meant I had the time to get in to computers, and be a fuckup while I learned from older, smarter people. Got a great job now, so it all worked out in the end and I'm glad I didn't waste the effort getting A's.
@agony
I was actually really surprised I graduated high school. Apparently I passed math with 50.1%. I funny think it's helped me get a job, really. :p
