   all your half-finished projects are still experience that contributes directly to your skills and confidence. the dozen half-finished projects are the seeds of the finished one that you could never have handled a decade ago.

     @mathaetaes@infosec.exchange @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange The best advice for artistic projects I ever heard was to only do 80% of what you think it should be when perfect.
     
     Reached 80%? done, ship it, next one. You'll finish 80% of your second project way before you would ever get close to 100% of the first, which will teach you a lot more in the long run
     
     (Not to mention that every project will have a higher definition of what 80% means, so before you know it, you're shipping stuff that is 200% of your first project, and still considering it only 80% done)

     @0xabad1dea by that logic, I’m a master craftsman. The number of projects that made it to 80% before I got distracted or ran out of time are too numerous to count.

     @ryanc @0xabad1dea You can order a frame online, and put the nice printout and a box in the back of a closet for a couple of years...
