big brain versus small brain. Small brain work is intense. Thinking and sorting is small brain work.

Big brain is in your muscles, easier to flow. Ask a massage therapist about muscle brain and memory.

I try to wait till i get so many small parts waiting that it becomes a big project. Also wait for rain or night so as not to waste daylight.
