Thought Tweet #482 Good things come in little packages: that's the key to excellent work-process success.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Dr. Richard Carlson taught - "Don't sweat the small stuff".
That's good advice as long as it confined within the following context: (1) do small stuff and do it well & (2) don't feel distressed while you are doing it. There's nothing wrong with sweating while working out the body....although perspiration is a more-delicate word for that body exhaust. When the body works hard it sweats. When the mind works hard it also vents exhaust. This is particularly so when the mind is undisciplined. When we break work into small pieces we reduce the amount of that exhaust. And, of more importance, we increase the opportunities to receive [mental, self-generated] rewards for jobs well done.
