I'm an academic. My frequent collaborator has a rule that I find very wise. Following this rule, we celebrate when we submit an article for peer review or send in a grant proposal, not (only) upon receiving positive news (article accepted for publication or proposal funded). That way, the happy occasions are based on our own goals and rhythm, not depending on outside confirmation. I'm sure you can generalize the underlying principle to other kinds of work as well.

- awjr 9y agoThis reminded me of this Mitchell and Webb strip "Working from home" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk The premise is that you could end up 'celebrating' your business away and learning how to manage your 'celebrating' to only do 'it' when milestones have been reached. SFW but would suggest headphones if in an open plan office due to the topic.
