Just because you have a half-assed plan to get something done, doesn’t mean you’ve got the half assed approach necessary to get it done. If you want to work out an entire plan to get something done, plan to actually do it. If you want to work out an entire plan to get something done, plan to actually do it.
I know, I know, you dont want to just type in half assed because you don’t want to be a jerk. In fact, you want to be a jerk because you want to be a jerk. But you dont want to be a jerk because you want to do something you have no idea if you actually want to do it.
It’s a common misconception that if you’ve planned in advance (i.e. half assed) then you will be able to finish on time. This is a fallacy, however, because even half assed plans can be derailed by unexpected circumstances. For example, if you want to clean a room or make a phone call, you dont want to mess up a half assed plan.
There are plenty of situations where half assed plans are necessary, but they can also be detrimental. A half assed plan for a clean room or phone call will fail if your car breaks down, or you get a flat tire, or you need to get out of the house and go to the hospital. It might not matter though, because half assed plans are not nearly as flexible as you might think they are.
A half assed plan is a plan we try to execute but have not yet fully realized, or a plan that has a significant amount of missing pieces. For example, a half assed plan for cleaning a room might be to take everything off the top of the mattress and wash the room. This plan works for a lot of things, but it would be a lot more effective if it was a half assed plan for a phone call.
This is why we can’t do half assed plans all the time. When we think that a plan is half assed, it’s important to realize that we’re not dealing with a complete plan. It’s something that’s still in the planning stages and needs to be taken very seriously. We’re not saying that we’ll clean a room or do a phone call, but that we’re going to do something.
For example, a half assed plan would be to use a lot of half assed plans in the first place. Weve already seen one example of this in the trailer, so we wont be repeating that again. A half assed plan would be to call a friend and ask them to do something. This would then be followed by a half assed plan when you get to the friend part. Its important to realize that its not a complete plan. We just need to do it.
That’s right, half assed. Its a pretty big word, but I think it is a pretty accurate description for something that is half assed. I think it is a pretty accurate description for something that takes full advantage of the fact that our brains are not perfectly autonomous.
Most of the time, we don’t even notice how we’re half assed. Its how we manage to make things half assed that really makes them half assed. We are so easily distracted that when we need to do something half assed we just don’t get it. This is the case especially when we are in the midst of a task that we don’t fully appreciate.
A half assed task is any action that takes place half assed. This can be anything from looking at our phones while we are at a meeting to getting a cell phone call while sitting at the kitchen counter. There are many reasons why this is true, but as you might guess, half assed actions are more likely to be performed when we are not fully aware of them.
