Today’s 10 Minute Invitation
Decide what is the absolute minimum amount of work you could do in your daily practice and do that.
Habits are built by doing things repeatedly not doing things perfectly. By making things easy you are more likely to do it regularly and so are much more likely to make it a habit. The ability to do the minimum is a powerful tool in your toolkit.
On the 8th day of Inktober, I ran out of this paper. I wonder what I’ll use tomorrow from my stash.
Ps: I asked readers for their tips on making work easier.
said “ Have things out already. I find that sometimes setting the things up discourage me. So I keep my oil pastels out (or whatever is the tool of the moment).“And
said “Duplicate post, write the heading last, drop the reader straight into a story. Wrap up with bullet points.”What are your tips to make work easier?
Thank you for sharing my lazy a** wisdom :D <3
