Yeah, I dont remember exactly where I got it from. I do remember reading stuff from ET’s replies to me on my self-help book thread and some of his replies to @Eternity in his Async Tutoring thread.

One of ET’s replies I liked was this one:

> It’s not disrespectful. Only wanting to post on the forum when at your best is an ongoing problem with multiple people that I’ve tried to discourage. Learning philosophy or other ideas properly, so that you can use them in your daily life, requires learning to use them while tired, distracted, having a bad day, etc.

I liked it cuz it showed me I don’t have to be at my best all the time. It made me think a lot about how I make posts and replies and how I edited them a bunch to make them “good”.

Yeah, I did read that. I think it made me think a lot about averages and our average work.

I know that ET talks about averages like not just in the work we do, but I think in stuff we regularly do like our behaviors. One of the behaviors is like being a jerk once a week still makes the person a jerk and is part of who they are. I think the point I got is there is average stuff that we do and I thought maybe it applied to our writing as well.

I got really tired of rewriting stuff a lot and I thought maybe the first thing we write is enough in a way cuz that’s we’re able to do without a lot of effort. Maybe some edits here and there to fix spelling and mistakes. I thought if we do something on average then that’s what we’re capable of and we can fix the stuff we have a lot of trouble.

I also I switched to my computer to write the rest of the post from my phone after I replied to your last quote. I think I type better on my phone than on my computer somehow like I don’t second guess myself a lot.
