Getting It Done

A lick and a spit.

As a child, I recall this muddled up saying was my mum’s go-to when we didn’t have much time to get ourselves, or the house ready for visitors.

And, it’s a good one to lean on when we feel the resistance of perfectionism creeping in.

We can wait for the perfect conditions;

we can add / tweak / edit  over and over;

we can dwell upon the minute details;

we can feel like it is never quite ready; and

we can give it “a lick and a spit” and be done.

I’m curious, where could you apply “a lick and a spit” and be done?
