Accept what you can do

Work on 1Do.Today slowed down in the last couple of days.

I’m doing this as a side gig in my own spare time, alongside with my full-time (I’d say: highly demanding) job. And life is also happening.

There’s not too much left to do before I’m ready to launch a private alpha to testing. But I’m struggling to find the time and energy to get it done.

I’m moving house this week, and enjoying some me time, and some time with my partner.

I came to realise that I’m actually not superhuman. There’s only so much I can get done in a day, even when I’m using 1Do.Today to prioritize it and motivate myself to get it done! The standard / expectation for myself is always high. Shoot for the moon, right? But it can also induce anxiety and guilt if not managed properly.

I accept this now that it’s ok, and feel satisfied and content that I did do something. What matters is to do consistently, even when missing some days. Can you forgive yourself? Even when done a bit less a day.

This way, it compounds over time, and one can get anything done.

“Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.”
