Back around 2000 a bunch of software developers met to discuss why software development projects go so badly. They came up with a thing called the Agile Manifesto, which is slowly changing the way software is developed. The Manifesto is composed of 4 values and 12 principles.
I only mention this so I can share one of the 12 principles.
Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential.
So, Face, you’re doing something essential.
Well, gloriosky! Whodathunkit? Maybe I should do more of it. That “essential” nothing. I dunno, though, ArGee. It gets old after a while.
But I get this way when I’m in the relapse phase the disease. It seems to be what my body needs at the time, but not necessarily what I want to do. I roll with it because it helps to get me past whatever the disease is trying to make my body do — the various symptoms. If I don’t fight it, they go away sooner than if I tried to fight my way through it.
It’s taken over 30 years to learn that lesson, though. Mostly the hard way. ;o]
