One productive day, then followed by like 3 unproductive ones 🫨🫨

Why’s it like this?

What do you do to find motivation to be productive again?

@mikaelacaron One reason, I think, is that we’re not machines so progress is rarely linear.

And during those days you classify as unproductive, your brain is probably churning on things in the background that help set up your next highly-productive day.

I find real deadlines to be a great motivator. (Not self-imposed ones, I am never fooled by those.)

@mikaelacaron I realized that announcing the Instruments Course and having firm dates was the best way for me to finish all the materials.

@mikaelacaron Yes, not wanting to look like an idiot in front of others can be a great motivator.
