Quantity Or Quality never ending contention in different areas
Coming up with a body of work (striving in life) is all about the slow accumulation of a day’s worth of effort over time or minute efforts as I put in. One Min spent on something is better than just contemplating to do it. So going by this quantity would be the deciding factor or not?
As the intention is set to do every single day, so here we go, some moments in a day could be so different that you don't even believe you can even do that task Or It could so that you are brimming with so many ideas and all those ideas distract you, Or As we famously call it, reached a creative block. From being Distracted (so many ideas), Disillusioned (can I even do anything?) , Demiurgic (Sorry guys had to find a word in D for being creative, to be in sync with the prose here), what is the end result. A frustrated output which sometimes many not upto the mark.
In doing something, even if it is as simple as cooking something, doing it then so that you gain practice is better than just contemplating about it or strategising about creating the best. End result of this is a version of omlette which could be slightly burned, but atleast you have something on the plate to eat. Ofcourse you can fluff it up or garnish it with olive, which is on super market shelves. This remains a good philosophy to follow, but perfectionists around us might disagree.
Now coming to life, what works better, Qua(tity)/(lity), quality I guess. Or it all depends on the context here. How many friends is good enough to call yourself likable. One friend, 2 or 100. How many followers in Instagram makes you rizz, as per GenZ? Algorithm would have a different take on it. How much time spent on self is self care? How much time spent by a parent with a kid is enough? More subtler, how much money earned is good enough ?
So is it excellence which matters or just existing and making a presence.
Little something every day works great for projects or skill development. So does for building a relationship, a small text to let them know you think of them makes more sense than connecting after days or months. Or would you look at it as Quality time spent than a forceful every day communication which may not come from right place.
I am in titters ….. seeing this confusion of QUA(LITY)/(TITY)! How about you?
