Hello Brains!
For this New Year I wrote a silly song for you
To encourage and annoy you into
Doing things you said you'd do
Brush your hair, make your bed Get a job that you don't hate
Practice cursive every day Don't forget to meditate
Actually get out of bed and be less self deprecating
Use a pomodoro timer Spend 5 hours animating
Say some mantras, do some pull-ups Exercise your chest and core
Be more honest 'bout your feelings Take yourself to movies more
Only eat out once a month Write 3 pages every day
Get to sleep before midnight Play piano on Tuesdays
Goals can be intimidating Falling short can be frustrating
But here's a simple Brain-proof method That I'll share with you
Do it badly Do it terribly
Write 3 pages that no one would read You have so many reasons to do these things
And none of you said you'd do them perfectlyyyyy
So --
Get a ukulele, play it, Use your planner every day
Dance like no one's watching you Do your laundry every Sunday
Pack your bag and pick out clothes The night before so you're not late
Exercise 3 days a week Sing cause it makes choir way…
Easier…
Practice oboe, do your push-ups Brush your teeth and wash your face
Ignore your phone until you're ready So you don't procrastinate
Drink some water, take a selfie And do not forget to eat
Wash the dishes every night Program at least twice a week
And Do it badly
Do it terribly Take a selfie that no one will see
You have so many reasons to do these things Way more important than doing them perfectlyyyyy
So
Stick to the routines you've built; Reach out to friends and family
Write a little every day So you'll finish that book, Leigh!
Work before your boyfriend gets home Take an hour just for you
Pray and read devotionals Walk 10 minutes, hula hoop
Do your homework after school and Get rid of toxicity.
Adventure every Thursday so you Don't resent all your routines
Take your meds, draw before bed Walk up 8 whole flights of stairs
Daily coding challenges and Be more present with your kids
And Do it badly Do it terribly
Code a solution that won't work gen'rally You've got so many reasons to do these things
And seriously, please don't do them perfectly
You'll make the rest of us look really bad and we don't like that —
I understand perfectionism I even made this video
But sometimes being perfect can mean Just doing it at all
So if you ever want to be good Don't let perfect get in your way
Make lots of pots Like Hank Green
And you know someday
It won't be badly Might not be perfectly,
But you'll write something that someone will read
You have so many reasons to do these things And next year you'll be proud of you, just
wait and see —
If you
Journal, tap dance, walk your dog More often, study Arabic
French or Japanese, Italian Write down your accomplishments
Put your phone down after work Go outside, eat a vegetable
Practice watercolor painting Don't end all your texts with "LOL"
Start projects when you get them Tweet and post on Instagram
Buy a wig and wear it daily Stick to your study plans
Find accountabili-buddies Be creative every day
Start your blog or YouTube channel And I'll be here to say…
Do it badly Do it terribly
Write a song for your viewers And mess it up entirely…
You've got so many reasons to do these things
And don't worry, cause there's no such thing as perfectly...
Just done!
