One of my worst habits is wanting to do personal projects “all at once.” When I start something, I tend to overdo it rather than taking appropriate breaks. Conversely, if a project looks like it will take more juice than I currently have available, I don’t start at all until I do.
Today, I started a major project that I knew I couldn’t finish. But I made progress – real, solid progress. And now, the full task is smaller.
I haven’t beaten this bad habit entirely, obviously. But hey… it’s a start.
