Nerd Church - You Can't Do All of the Things, All of the Time (And That's OK)

 

I feel like it's a good time of year to remind myself of something:

I only have two hands.

Now, obviously, that makes sense literally (for me, at least) - but it works on a metaphorical/figurative type of way too.

I can only do what I can do - I only have so many hours in a day, so much energy to expend, so many resources to draw on... I only have two hands.

Which means that, despite how much I would like to do ALL of the things ALL of the time - because there are so many things out there to do, after all! - I can't.

No-one can.

We are human - fallible and messy and restricted by all sorts of physical and biological rules. Not least the need to eat and sleep (dammit!)

Here's your reminder, should you need it:

You can't do all of the things, all of the time (and that's OK.)

Since every time I leave this reminder on Twitter I get a positive response, it looks like I'm not the only one who needs to keep this in mind.

There's no need to get frustrated with yourself, to get angry with yourself, to put yourself down or blame yourself for not getting ABC thing done when you really want/have to.

It's not gonna help, over all

(...unless you're the sort of person who needs to give yourself a kick up the pants in order to get anything done at all - in which case, you do you! Lol. But I think a lot of us are actually too hard, rather than too lenient, on ourselves.)

So, remember, you only have a set number of hands, and you can't do all of the things, all of the time (and that's OK.)
