I realized today that there is an important difference between the way I approach work projects and projects for myself. At work, I multitask, even more so now that I have this quasi-management role. I need to have my head in several different things because it's the only way I can operate.
But when it comes to my own projects, I find myself incapable of breaking from some sequence that I've come up with in my head. For example, I recently came up with some interesting ideas in my head about what I can do with the forum app to make it more extensible and flexible. But I won't dive in and experiment because I feel as though I must complete those big projects first. Instead of doing what I feel right this moment, and writing some fucking code for a change, I don't do anything at all. That's messed up.
I wish there was another me to tell me about my strange behaviours sooner.
