a few months ago i had an epiphany (of sorts) that got rid of pretty much all my perf anxiety.

In "Fundamentals of Software Architecture," @neal4d and @markrichardssa talk about the '-ilities'—architectural characteristics like scalability. In an agile world, a critical -ility is rapid deployability. If you can’t deploy a small change, you can’t get necessary feedback.

Do a little bit...

of the same things...

everyday...

and you’ll be amazed at the big things you’ll EVENTUALLY accomplish.

[John Onwuchekwa @JawnO]

Instead of saying, "I'll just do it LATER"

Say, "I'll just do a LITTLE now"

You don't have to complete it all in one sitting.

When string enough LITTLE bits together, it actually gets done! And it happens sooner than you think.

And this one for the smaller people.
