Do Just a Piece

Dear Matt,

Do just a piece. Pick one part, do it, and leave the rest. U need not complete the biggest part. Getting any bit done beats getting nothing done! The journey of a thousand miles, ...

Just clean the toilet. U need not clean the whole bathroom every time U want to clean the toilet. Just cleaning the toilet by itself feels like a huge improvement.

U need not finish the whole project. Work on the hardest part, or work on the easiest part. Work on whichever part strikes your inspiration.

When U clean your tools U can just clean one tool. Clean the tool that needs it most. Clean the tool U need to use.

Grow your habit of just doing one piece. It'll feel great. Even if U want to do the whole damn thing, U can't without first doing one piece. Do one piece over and over until U finish the project. Or don't, because U need not finish what U start.

Make starting every day easier by just doing a single piece.
