You can get used to 12 thriving, get used to a mindset of novel thought, get used to creating 13 rather than consuming. You can make it a habit. 14 15 We can game our psychology here. However productive you may be in 16 reality, it is hard to *feel* the progress being made without distinct 17 milestones. Chipping away at a project of amorphous and twisting scope 18 is quicksand for your time. Dividing up large goals is key to creating a 19 feeling of control and—critically—doing real work. 20 21 I admire the programmers and designers who throw off project after 22 project into the public eye. My Mastodon timeline is chock-full of 23 mockups and demos, people actually *shipping* all the time. 24 25 So, I'm working on it. 26 27 *This next part is for internal use, but browse at your leisure.* 28 29 **In:** blog posts, fun web projects, "mini apps" for Apple platforms, 30 microblogging but with images/gifs, emailing other internet people, 31 `/now` and `/using`, videos, livestreaming, art, bamboo (any usage). 32 33 **Out:** project multitasking, not publishing, unclear distribution, 34 false productivity. 35 36 **Links:** [Matt Webb], [Julian Lehr], [Neil Sardesai], [Vinoth 37 Ragunathan], [Gavin Nelson], [Daring Fireball], [Casey Neistat], [Marty 38 of Poolsuite][marty], [todepond], [Robin Rendle][ship]. 39 40 [Matt Webb]: https://interconnected.org/home/ 41 [Julian Lehr]: https://julian.digital 42 43 [Neil Sardesai]: https://mastodon.social/@neilsardesai 44 [Vinoth Ragunathan]: https://twitter.com/helvetiica 45 [Gavin Nelson]: https://nelson.co 46 47 [Daring Fireball]: https://daringfireball.net 48 [Casey Neistat]: https://www.youtube.com/user/caseyneistat 49 [marty]: https://twitter.com/marty 50 51 [todepond]: https://www.todepond.com 52 [ship]: https://robinrendle.com/notes/if-it-doesnt-ship-then-it-doesnt-count/
