“Staying Monogamous to Your WiP” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an expanded version of this episode early. You can join our community with a pledge as low as $3 a month!
It’s a standard feeling that once you get used to your current WiP and you may have hit a snag here and there, you will get the desire to focus on another, newer, shinier project. This is totally normal, everyone from a newbie to a pro feels this. But the question is, what do you do when you feel like that?
I record these episodes live on Twitch, and cut out most of the interaction with the chat for a cleaner podcast. But we did have one topic suggested in chat that needs to be repeated: one person thought that accountability buddy + food = good focusing incentive. Putting the power in someone else’s hands, where you can’t go out for a beer/dinner/movie/something else together until you hit a certain deadline. Brilliant.
Note: by “monogamous” I don’t mean you can’t work on more than one project at once, I mean that if you keep getting distracted by new projects. If you can safely polyamory your projects then more power to you.
