+I would like to become the kind of person who consistently produces
+discrete works.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+I am a big believer in compounding success. You can get used to
+thriving, get used to a mindset of novel thought, get used to creating
+rather than consuming. You can make it a habit.
+
+We can game our psychology here. However productive you may be in
+reality, it is hard to *feel* the progress being made without distinct
+milestones. Chipping away at a project of amorphous and twisting scope
+is quicksand for your time. Dividing up large goals is key to creating a
+feeling of control and—critically—doing real work.
+
+I admire the programmers and designers who throw off project after
+project into the public eye. My Mastodon timeline is chock-full of
+mockups and demos, people actually *shipping* all the time.
+
+So, I'm working on it.
+
+*This next part is for internal use, but browse at your leisure.*
+
+**In:** blog posts, fun web projects, "mini apps" for Apple platforms,
+microblogging but with images/gifs, emailing other internet people,
+`/now` and `/using`, videos, livestreaming, art, bamboo (any usage).
+
+**Out:** project multitasking, not publishing, unclear distribution,
+false productivity.
