Remembering to be charitable

For an impatient person who values effectiveness and efficiency, it is frequently frustrating to realise that things aren't proceeding at a steady clip in the right direction. At this point, the instinct shouts - get rid of the obstacles in the way - but reality is far messier and often, this isn't an option. Or at least, the dictates of human compassion restrains us from making the harsh decision.

Writing a little every day

The seduction of devoting just x minutes a day to do something every day and eventually becoming an "expert"/"comfortable"/"achiever" has always proven too attractive for me to ignore. Having yet to be able to maintain that kind of discipline can only be attributed to my laziness, rendering myself unable to prove this theory. Perhaps that's the point of this - people who have the discipline in the first place to do these sorts of things are self-selected to succeed.
