I don’t have a topic for today, so I decided to ramble a bit on a random topic: wondering how the two things in the title of today’s post can live at the same time in me. I have a tendency for perfectionism. At the same time, I often surround myself with various degrees of chaotic mess.
I think the answer is in the availability of spoons.
Would I want this chaotic mess that is my room, or my file system, or obsidian vault, or everything else, to be less messy, organized, structured, and perfect? Oh, I would.
Do I know what to do and how to approach achieving this? Yep.
Would I do it? I can’t: I don’t have enough spoons for everything. I think I might’ve lost all of them in CSS (Cascading Spoons Supply).
In my notes for the November ideas, almost everything is about CSS. I am on “vacation”, and that means that I can, finally, spend as much as I want on CSS. Although, it appears that I can’t do it too many days in a row — need some rest time, after all. But oh how I wish I could do all of this every work day, just work on CSS.
CSS is in the foundation of my hierarchy of needs, it is physiological at this point.
Any spoons that do not feed the CSS demon are wasted.
The problem: CSS is so large, I don’t even have enough spoons to put them into every declaration. There is just so much to think about, to experiment, to delve into!
Oh, well.
