The Sweep

charming child sweeping concrete pavement with broomstick

Start at one end, and go to the other.

Start at one end, and go to the other. Be relentless as you do so too. Anything unwanted, chuck it. Anything you have to think twice about, chuck it in the ‘for later’ pile. Put that pile out of sight. If you really need it, you’ll go back and get it later.

For now, just make getting through the sweep your first and only aim.
