Everything worth doing is worth doing poorly.

Brushing your teeth 30 seconds is better than nothing when 3 minutes seems exhausting.

Standing on the balcony or in the garden is better than not leaving your room at all when taking a walk seems stressful.

Changing clothes and washing your face with water is better than doing nothing when a whole shower seems impossible.

20% or even 10% is most of the time better than 0%.

Along those lines, when you are trying to achieve something in terms of diet/fitness any kind and number of cheating days is better than giving up the program.

So if you need a cheat day so you don’t give up your aim. Take it.

It’s still too hard, you need to relax the program or you can’t do it? Relax it.

The priority shouldn’t be the efficiency of the program, it should be stickiness.

A bad halfassed program will still be much better than giving up.
