No Exception
Nora treating limits as firm boundaries, choosing not to follow what would be easier. The piece frames constraint as something maintained through small refusals, where cost is acknowledged but not dramatized.
If it would be easier to let it pass, I notice that moment and slow down. I don’t argue with the impulse, and I don’t dismiss it, I just don’t follow it through. If something technically fits inside the limits, I check whether it belongs there longer than I need to. I don’t stretch the definition to make it work, and I don’t treat convenience as a reason. No exception. Not this time. If saying yes would reduce the friction, I accept the friction instead. I don’t frame it as discipline, and I don’t explain the choice, I just let the cost remain. If there’s a version of this that would feel lighter, I leave it unused without comparing it. Nothing here is broken, nothing needs correcting, and nothing improves by being allowed through. No exception. Still holds. I move on.
