what i can say is, when you are approaching a new piece of work, consider how this will contribute to your future of work. how can you steer the ship of your career to end up in a place where you are still enthusiastic, versus tolerating whatever will continue to bring you income

Sunday nights are great because not only do I get to beat myself up about what I failed to accomplish over the weekend, but I’m also confronted with how ill-prepared I am to deal with what’s coming on Monday
