impending doom of projects
everyday i tell myself "man why didn't i work on my project". then, i tell my self its okay you got tomorrow. I've been doing this routine everyday for the past month and it's getting a little annoying.
i think its cause of a few reasons. one is that i keep seeing this project or as chore instead of something i would love to do. i don't know why. i enjoy coding and it's a mind intensive, meaning single point of focus aka happy.
why is it?
i have another theory and it's the realization of the time commitment to this project if i really start spending more time on it. right now, i haven't really dumped all that much time onto this project aka no too much commitment. but, as i continue i really really have to spend more time on it and I'm scared.
it's the same reason why people put off the gym or studying. knowing that we have x many days after to do the work. but, if i can get rid of this sense of unknown days, maybe just maybe i can start seeing this project less as a chore and burden but a fun activities. just maybe tho.
to shift my paradigm it would take a lot of work. how can i see this project the same as watching anime. such an addicting feeling man. to be trapped in a world so simulating that is not my own. following a character and their people's drama and tasks.
maybe i just need to follow the perspective of a quest and map it out to an anime? animify/gamify it? seems a little tacky to me, but it might just be a great idea to help me get on track.
when i think of doing this project. i think of sitting on my computer all day coding. but this isn't really true. coding does not feel that mono. coding is like bending objects and abstract elements of code into a working project. wow i think i can view coding like magic. a dare say, sometimes it really does feel like magic when I first started out. haha maybe it was there all along. well this is for another blog post...
so what i need to do is shift my paradigm around working on my project from chore to fun, change the way i use my mind, and animify it. ya ya ya!
this is the way!
