Personal projects can be the hardest to get going. The challenges of navigating whether or not you’re being truthful in the work, employing your craftsmanship to achieve clarity, and finding ways to hold yourself accountable so you can actually ship the thing are just a few of the frictions that can make it so hard. Oh, and how do you find the time to actually do it? Jerzy is joined this week by cartoonist Zack Giallongo for a discussion on psyching yourself up to start the work and ways to keep yourself on track to finish.
