- Worked On Other Projects Today - Reflections
I worry sometimes that my work on this has been so "all-consuming" I forget about my other responsibilties... like my actually "day job" that pays the bills... I make money doing work for others as a freelancer. It's not enough to be comfortable but it's enough to get buy and allow myself time to work on things like Postie.
I need to remember that although Postie has the ability to make me "comfortable" by providing a service that I know others will pay for, that is a long term goal. Right now I need to prioritise my work that pays the bills... not work that pays in the future.
Saying that I'm not even sure how long I can keep this up day-in and day out. I feel like I'm doing things in this postie project just so that i can say I've done something (even though they've been last minute things at the end of the day and not real time put into them). I need to reframe and refocus on what this project is and if I miss a day or two then not to feel day.
Quality over quantity. Putting thought into the process, not just going through the motions for made up responsibilties and obligations.
