there's a very high chance you're getting rob while doing it too so do it as shitty as possible (without risking your food)
IDK about advice per say but it kinda fits. My favorite quote from rocky.
“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward."

I shared this before here, but it completely changed the way I live my life:
Perfect is the enemy of good enough.
So please, give yourself grace and understanding especially if you are a perfectionist. Go at your own pace.
We had a phrase in graduate school for group projects… “good enough, move on”. Or GEMO. When we were getting too wrapped up in the details someone would say “should we just GEMO?” And there’d invariably be a sigh of relief as everyone agreed yes, it’s good enough, let’s move on.
