However for the most part I just ride the waves. I'd rather work full steam towards a secondary objective than at half power on the most important thing. I learned to harness hyperfocus instead of fighting it.

This suits the nature of my work. It's a website. It stays online and keeps generating income. It's a lot more forgiving than a development job with specific deliverables. So long as I'm generally improving the website, I'm doing fine. In some cases, these side projects proved wildly successful.

Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect. Following my impulses leads to a lot of interesting magic.

At a lower level, I try to avoid git branches. I work on master, so I only have one or two things going at any given time. I don't start two massive article rewrites at once, because it makes staging too confusing.

At a business level, I taught everyone I work with that I work slowly, and not to expect anything on a specific date. Things get done when they get done. The biggest challenge is to avoid promising anything when I'm in my "excited about stuff" phase. It helps that I'm paid per lead, so if they get nothing from me, they pay nothing.
