I give myself permission to work on projects slowly. And I give myself permission to work on projects obsessively.
I give myself permission to start new projects on a whim.
And I give myself permission to abandon projects.
The work is the reason I work on projects. The work itself is the project that matters.
Not admiration of what I make. Not despair of it either.
My discipline requires remembering these things. I am working on my discipline. Good luck.

- rolly_polly 2y agoI hope to eventually get to at a place of luxury to where I can be so whimsical with my creative direction. Projects for personal pleasure, exploratory nature, or high risk of abandonment may have some % chance of uncovering something unique and fruitful, but those dice rolls cost a lot of real world hours
