Ep 9: How to get motivated to exercise

Ep 8: Progress vs Perfection

In this episode, Robyn gives examples of times when choosing progress instead of waiting for conditions to be perfect to begin a task, project or goal strategy, has ensured it happens, rather than waiting for a time that just may never come. As mentioned in the podcast too, Robyn also references this quote from the following blog post https://austinkleon.com/2017/11/20/a-few-notes-on-daily-blogging/?inf_contact_key=5015a17c6a790a60e8cfb8bcdd8852aec6c82237603d1fe9a9c7c41e9a0c4922 There’s a story about perfectionism in David Bayles and Ted Orland’s excellent book, Art & Fear: The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class, he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot — albeit a perfect one — to get an “A”. Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes — the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.
