You can get used to 14 thriving, get used to a mindset of novel thought, get used to creating 15 rather than consuming. You can make it a habit. 16 17 We can game our psychology here. However productive you may be in 18 reality, it is hard to *feel* the progress being made without distinct 19 milestones. Chipping away at a project of amorphous and twisting scope 20 is quicksand for your time. Dividing up large goals is key to creating a 21 feeling of control and—critically—doing real work. 22 23 I admire the programmers and designers who throw off project after 24 project into the public eye. My Mastodon timeline is chock-full of 25 mockups and demos, people actually *shipping* all the time. 26 27 So, I'm working on it. 28 29 *This next part is for internal use, but browse at your leisure.* 30 31 **In:** blog posts, fun web projects, "mini apps" for Apple platforms, 32 microblogging but with images/gifs, emailing other internet people, 33 `/now` and `/using`, videos, livestreaming, art, bamboo (any usage). 34 35 **Out:** project multitasking, not publishing, unclear distribution, 36 false productivity. 37 38 **Links:** [Matt Webb], [Julian Lehr], [Neil Sardesai], [Vinoth 39 Ragunathan], [Gavin Nelson], [Daring Fireball], [Casey Neistat], [Marty 40 of Poolsuite][marty], [todepond], [Robin Rendle][ship]. 41 42 [Matt Webb]: https://interconnected.org/home/ 43 [Julian Lehr]: https://julian.digital 44 45 [Neil Sardesai]: https://mastodon.social/@neilsardesai 46 [Vinoth Ragunathan]: https://twitter.com/helvetiica 47 [Gavin Nelson]: https://nelson.co 48 49 [Daring Fireball]: https://daringfireball.net 50 [Casey Neistat]: https://www.youtube.com/user/caseyneistat 51 [marty]: https://twitter.com/marty 52 53 [todepond]: https://www.todepond.com 54 [ship]: https://robinrendle.com/notes/if-it-doesnt-ship-then-it-doesnt-count/
