I am currently working on a project, because life forces me to do it. But I have to say if the topic is right then working on a project is incredibly fun. You create and learn so much new things and work on different aspects of the project. I never really tire out of the tasks because new challenges and topics are just that common. But be warned, scope creep is the beginning of the boring shit. It gets repetitive real quick when you want to add and add and add in one domain of the project. Start small, stay small and achievable and just work on it consistently.

This post is like a little shower thought, because I was just playing around on my phone, getting lost in mini games / puzzles or social media and that stuff gets so boring so quick. I have seen and played these games before and I just come back to them because they are easy, but they give me nothing.

Especially when you're a perfectionist. Do not let perfect be the enemy of good!
