That nagging feeling that you should be doing that thing that matters to you can really effect your wellbeing. Better to just get to the thing and put in the effort.

True—you can't put it off forever without losing some peace.

Loved this, thank you for the reminders on consistency and commitment. As creatives, I think we constantly need bumps and pushes to keep us from perfection paralysis. Progress is success and success is progress; timing and iterations are just catalysts within that journey.

Glad this essay found you when it did, Jamal. Procrastination gets the best of all of us. Just have to remember that we often create our luck by just doing the thing we keep putting off.

Jon, there are existing features of forGL that i think fit well with your messages overall and perhaps this one a little more.

Python + 2 files

Or have a friend check
