We are so American here in the states! Everything has to be FAST, PERFECT and ALL AT ONCE! In reality, it’s fine to do half of something now and then the rest later. I would rather get at least one room vacuumed than get frustrated that I didn’t do the whole house like I should have! I would rather decorate one room with holiday lights than get mad at myself that I didn’t do the whole house like others wanted me to do!
I always remind myself that doing half is a good thing- half a project gets finished eventually. Doing nothing…. well, it never gets done.
It’s all about a sense of accomplishment. When we get something done, even if it’s small, we feel better and want to feel that good again, so we many even just keep working, even if we are still depressed.

Hey Julie!
That all speaks to me! I feel guilty about so much that I have to
re-train my thinking when I do something good! A dear friend told me once, It Would Be Nice But It’s Not Necessary……I think of that all the time when I have things to do. It would be nice to decorate the whole house but it’s not necessary….it’s nice to do just the room we ‘live’ in! I can handle that!
Love, debbie
Hi Debbie,
I LOVE the idea of just doing the room you live in. I have not thought of it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. Julie
