The Barrow

XLVII. Some days you may do the bare minimum, but do not do less than that.

I wrote this in my notebook today, and it's true. I had a long day yesterday in which I really only accomplished the bare minimum necessary to keep my life afloat. I said this to myself as I forced my exhausted body to brush my teeth before passing out asleep.

I think it's good advice. Obviously we don't want to make a habit of doing the bare minimum, but we never do less than that.
