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.
