This meticulous-over-fast mentality shift is beautifully captured. The tile worker redoing the edging bc it wasnt right perfectly mirrors the broader point about slowing down and doing things properly. I had a contractor friend who used to say rushed work costs twice, once in time and once in redo, and watching that play out in realtime makes the lesson stick way harder than any productivity book. The destination-vs-journey reframing at the end is what makes this wholething click.
For me, Portugal has excelled in teaching me patience—life- changing!

Not to go too deep, but I owe the last bit to my second cup of coffee. And thank you for your kind words. <3
I love this! I've found the same - make my big things small enough to do in pieces, check a couple off per day, and THAT's how it gets done!
And if you're not doing the thing, ask yourself WHY you're not doing the thing. Sometimes you just need a little treat to motivate you. :-)
Amen sister!
