Be bad at chess
Be bad at small talk
Be bad at managing your keys
Be bad at arguments
Be bad at remembering things
Be bad at hearing people in convo.
Be bad at 99.99999% of the things in the world.
It doesn’t matter.
Even if you are hitting 50 to 60% of standard of quality in almost everything else in the world, it’s fine.
But focus on your craft.
Pay all your mind to it and nothing else.
You do not need to be good at things other than what is your craft.
Do not play imaginary arguments in your head, just assume you will lose them and its fine.
Don’t let the perfectionism from your craft leak onto other things and steal all your energy.
