bbb: on small work, self-care, and the last safe profession

welcome to edition 002 of the “boring. brutal. better.” newsletter. thanks for the feedback on 001.

boring.

on small work:

five minutes feels like almost nothing. it still beats the nothing you’d have done instead.

I have no issue getting the most important things done. it’s the small things that I miss. but I’ve found 5 minutes of work on small things gets them off my to-do list.

brutal.

on self-care:

nobody is overworking you into neglecting yourself. you’re volunteering.

let everything else get messy before you allow yourself to get messy. I understand why you put yourself last, I really do. and you don’t have to put yourself first. but can we agree that you shouldn’t be last?

better.

implement the boring. face the brutal. get better.

keep getting better with my content from the past 7 days:

p.s. no human mind was harmed in the process of writing this newsletter (ai didn’t create this). just one man, two simple ideas, and way too much time refining.
