Exactly! (I think that might just be my new manifesto for life!! ;-)
never 'done' as some of my colleagues seem to be obsessed with
Ah -- is this 'done' as in the cult of done (http://www.brepettis.com/blog/2009/3/3/the-cult-of-done-manifesto.html)? I noticed that seemed to be doing the rounds again...
I think with weeding it's 'done' (in the cult-of-done sense) when you decide to stop. :-) Sometimes saying "I'm going to do an hour of this & then stop" gives you a useful cut-off point. (I'm not sure what other measurable goals for weeding might be... "I'm going to pull up 500 metres of nettle roots"? "I'm going to carry on until there's a 5:1 ratio of soil to roots"? Seems a bit daft. Though I do sometimes wonder how many miles of roots I'd have if I laid them all end to end. Apparently you can weave nettle stems into string! Who knew??)
