don't do ANYTHING unless you got at least two people working with you.
Otherwise you'll burn out or be overwhelmed.

sometimes it's important to be innovative, and sometimes it's important to put
your head down and work. Which is why we're always kept busy on things that
benefit them, not us.

if you sit down to write and nothing comes to mind, then either nothing needs
to be said or maybe you should spend time reading instead.
... okey dokey, time to read I guess.

if you work too fast, your ideas will run out and you'll be drawn elsewhere.
It's not a tragedy, it's the finishing of the project. Relish it, and learn
what you can before springing in a new directory, full of vigor and ready for
a new thought.

If everyone can do whatever they want, they'll tend to prefer the easy way.
And the easy way is rarely the right way.

just because someone did something one way and it worked, doesn't mean you
have to do it that way again.

@user-1071 I have the opposite problem, where my ideas come too quickly and
they're gone before I can implement. I think I'd prefer to burn out TBH
because burning out just means an inexcusable output of energy (in return for
not-enough-learning)

[the rest is left blank, as a testament to the inability of the author to
express their thoughts in a temporally contextual way. Presumably the previous

particular thought that felt important enough to share with the internet.]

At first I had something to say. Then, I wanted to share. Then, I wanted to
make things happen. Then, I wanted to inspire. Now, I can't stop. It's how I
think.
Maybe I should read my own work whenever I feel bad.
