easy hardness
my job is typically to do a nearly impossibly difficult task. i break it up into a zillion tiny little steps. each step is nearly trivially easy. in aggregate though they do the nearly impossible. i was thinking about this today because i was watching my children struggle to make lime-ade. a difficult task that mom broke up into many small easy tasks. still ben struggled to measure one cup of water. i wonder if he was thinking making lime-ade is hard therefore every step of making lime-ade should be hard. even though they clearly aren't. hmmm...
