Everybody has those days where things are just… hard. Life is harder than usual.

Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Perhaps you’re not sleeping. Life may have just knocked you down one too many times.

This is where the bare minimum comes in. Doing the absolute smallest amount required, so you can rest and get back to normal.

You need to know what your bare minimum is first though.

If you’re a student with no responsibilities, the minimum amount you need to do is usually zero. Everything can wait.

If you’re a parent or a boss, the minimum amount is much higher. You’re responsible for kids, employees, etc. Nothing can wait.

Occasionally, I love doing the bare minimum, because doing something is better than doing nothing at all.
