Little by Little

I’ve noticed that a little writing on most days adds up to more than a bunch of writing on the rare occasions when I can make time to do a bunch of writing.

And that I can do a bit of exercise every day, but I can’t really pack an enormous amount of exercise into three hours after sitting on my butt for two weeks straight.

And that cooking one dish here and there during the week is way easier than trying to cook five dishes all in one afternoon.

There’s an attraction to doing something big and all at once—a great big spike of activity and productivity—but all the little spikes add up, too.
