I always say this to my kids when they don’t feel like doing some habit: just half arse it.
Another phrase I use is: if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly.
I run 12km every day, but some days I don’t get out until the afternoon, like today, and it was 30 degrees C and I could only run 8kms and when I got to the bottom of the hill at the 8km mark I couldn’t run up it and just walked the remaining 4km home.
Imagine if I didn’t even go on the run because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to make it the whole way.
- discordance 4y agoSeems logical wanting to avoid running on a hot day, whether you were unconsciously or consciously objecting to it.
- bee_rider 4y agoHalf-assing is a fun one to spin around. “We really need to whole-ass this one.”
- gred 4y ago> if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly I also keep coming back to this phrase. I believe this is the source (G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World): https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1717/1717-h/1717-h.htm#link2H_4_0045 https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1717/1717-h/1717-h.htm#link2...
