Surprisingly - Be kind to yourself.
It’s becoming the far more important lesson I have to apply, for me to actually be productive.
I’m incredibly focused when it comes to things I’m interested in.
I’m incredibly dumb when I’m forcing myself to do something.
Especially when I’m ignoring the reasons I’m not doing it already.
- moffkalast 2y agoSeconded. I often have the same problem, a long list of in-progress projects and feeling like working on none of them. There's usually a subconscious reason why I'm avoiding them, either I'm stuck on a problem I can't solve, they're not interesting anymore, or the part I need to do feels too big too start without a full weekend of available time. The easiest move is to find something new to work on in the meantime, leave those old projects be. If they're worth finishing there'll be something that brings you back to them when the time is right. Improved skills (maybe even through that new project), something done by other people that changes the situation, etc. No sense in forcing yourself to make progress, since you'll just end up hating the whole thing.
