Always Be Making - humancode.us
Always have one or two projects in mind. Pick the top one or two projects that you want to make progress on, and think deeply about them. Keep them close to your working memory. When you do this, your unconscious will masticate on the problem even while you tackle your busy day—it’s free multitasking! When you come across 30 minutes of free time, you will likely know exactly what you must do to make some tiny progress. Keep doing this, and you’ll be amazed at how much progress you make.
This is good advice that I sometimes struggle with. Sometimes I naturally just noodle on one or two things in my mind throughout the day, but also sometimes I just have too many ideas bumbling around in my head that nothing takes focus.
At this current moment, these are the 3 projects that I want to focus on:
- My website/blog/wiki (hi, you’re here right now!)
- Sensorium - macOS app for reactive computing
- Zinerator - CLI tool (and maybe a GUI too?) for converting web pages into printable zines
