i am one, yet many

"if being hard on yourself was going to work it would have worked by now" okay well being soft on myself isn't working either so what the fuck is left. medium? I gotta be medium with myself? I gotta ask the fucking ghosts for help? is that it?

This is how the whole "Eat the Frog" strategy works. It's from that Mark Twain quote, "If your job is to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if your job is to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." Basically the principle is having the Shitty Task You Don't Want To Do undone actually costs mental energy in and of itself, despite the fact that you're not doing it. Like, you can do 40 things to avoid the frog and feel productive, but the frog is still waiting, and it's still stressing you out just as much as ever because that frog is still uneaten. Get the frog out of the way and you're able to do those other tasks with surprisingly more energy.
