Personal experience with motivation and productivity issues, friction points and a few mitigations

In short: For myself.

The question can be broken down as:

1. Why do you write?

> To collect my thoughts into a organized stream. So that I can forget the stream of thoughts and still have a place to recollect if needed.

2. Why write publically?

> Openness helps clean and calm the head further.

Better outside than inside...

Thoughts on The Nature of List article from defmacro (2006), code generation systems, their power and pitfalls.

Wow, this post hit just too close to me. I came to same conclusion quite a while back (the author also mentions that we most probably always know this); BUT never able to get out of that mindset. I think fixing boundary issues is a hard problem, but still solvable. Dealing with Your Things (or atleast the ones you think are yours), i.e stuff that you have marked as your boundary, seems much much harder to deal with.

My mind has argued, and won to some extent, the opposite, but within a boundary: if you are responsible, why not do it better, if you are not doing it better, what is the point of it all?
