Ask HN: How Do You Juggle Multiple Projects?

Re:Ask HN: How Do You Juggle Multiple Projects? by brudgers on Sunday December 22, 2024 @06:38AM (#42485762)

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.

I 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

Those hours are how you learn craft.

I described a hard road.

Excuses are easier.
