Quote of the Day - James Clear on avoiding mistakes

Transcript for accessibility purposes:
“Avoiding mistakes is an underrated way to improve. It's easier to fend off a bad day than achieve a perfect day. Rather than do your best, avoid your worst.”

James Clear

I only found out about this quote today but it's already one of my favourites! Instant hit!

There are some days when I am just not "feeling it" and it's easy to let myself go and just like that, the day is ruined. It's like I just give up because I know deep inside there is nothing I can do to make it a great day.

That's really bad because, even though I can usually shake it off on the day after, it's still a whole day going to waste.

This quote really got me thinking that I can do some damage control whenever I feel I'm having that kind of day. Even doing the bare minimum is better than doing nothing at all which is what I sometimes do so I will try to remind myself of that going forward.

I know very well how to identify those days but I was being very passive about them knowing that I could "catch up" tomorrow and it worked for a while but recently my life has become incredibly busy so I can't really afford wasting a day even.
