September 5th - Do it poorly
Sep 05, 2025
Have you ever tried to solve for perfectionism by THINKING about it really hard??
Are you afraid to start something because you’re not sure you’ll do it perfectly? Here’s the secret: you don’t have to.
In fact, sometimes the fastest way forward is to do it poorly.
- Need to write an article? Make a sloppy first draft.
- Missing gym workouts? Do jumping jacks in your pajamas.
- New to meal prep? PB&Js and baby carrots will get you through.
When you let go of doing it right on the first try, you free yourself to get SOMETHING done. You can’t edit “nothing”, but you can improve upon a mess.
Progress > perfection. Starting “poorly” is still starting, and that’s the hardest part.
What could you give yourself permission to do poorly today?
