But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting.  Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.  Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible.  Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.

Because like this is how it actually works for me at least:

Some of the things in the green circle would literally disgust me in the other tiers

Some of it is even stuff that other people would find very normal and pedestrian

Sexual partners calling each other "babe" > outside of written fiction is an immediate boner killer for me but in a piece of writing can be hot

Like c'mon

Some things are only fun in your head when there are no actual bodily fluids or clean up or effort needed
