Anything Worth Doing Is Worth Doing Poorly

By a friend • September 16, 2021

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.
