I’m Bad at a Lot of Things

Let me tell you why it doesn’t matter.

The list of things I’m bad at is pretty long. Some of them are big.

I cannot multitask to save my life. This is something I actually need to disclose to potential employers and even friends. I have complete and total squirrel brain. Focusing on more than one thing short circuits my brain. It just goes into overload and nothing gets done.

When your livelihood depends on being able to do many things at once, it’s worrisome to suck at it. I’m saying this as I don’t mean to completely dismiss the importance of being good at something. Only partly.

Most things are not worth fretting over. They don’t matter. The fact that I can make all kinds of fancy dishes but can’t make garlic bread to save my life does not bother me.

Some things that I’m bad at just don’t matter.

I suck at yoga. I mean, I am really bad at it. I want to be good at it and I want to enjoy it. I want to be one of those yoga people. Zenned out and mindful. Yoga is the perfect connection of mind and body. Well, guess what? I have a hard enough time getting these two things to work independently of each other let alone together.
