Unless you enjoy it'. That was a revalation, as I realized I probably think about something nine times, before actually acting on it at (re)thought number 10. Which is hope inspiring: if I acted first, I could reduce thinking by 90%. Id make more mistakes, but get feedback from reality on which to base my decisions. 'a stitch in time saves nine' is useful. Do things ahead of time, and get a 900% return on investment. Things like sprouting sprouts are like that. Or putting on an apron instead of getting stains out. 21st century life! Where is great-grandma when I need her! I think that you cant get to 90% through 20%. Its just a thought, but 20% is a dead end road. To get to 90%, we need to approach the thing from somewhere else. I love the way you write, it makes me happy. I read in a declutter book ‘you never need to think the same thought twice. Unless you enjoy it’.
