I call it creative ejaculationism. They all start swimming, but only one or two will get to the finish line. You can learn a lot from the ones who won’t make it, to help the one that will.

    The framing that I learn from all the work projects that lose out to the fire of the day really helps me stress less over all the unfinished work. I am better able to do the initial evaluation efficiently and stop working at an earlier stage on things with cost/benefits ratios that don't justify, and more likely to successfully identify fixes when projects that do justify coalesce.

    Would still be nice to fix all the things I know are broken, but I am mostly at peace with the system as it is.
