It doesn't have to be complete. She doesn't do just one thing. It doesn't even have to be 'as good as she can make it.' It's like the opposite of all the creative focus/motivational/getting things done articles. She's a whirlwind of Legos, crayons, and stickers and she's happy. I'm hoping to eventually learn this skill from her.
