am i doing it this way/making it like this because:
- it's how i've seen other people do it
- it's what you're supposed to do (right???)
- it will have farther reach/be more profitable
if you're motivated by the latter and your output is lower or stress is higher because of it... just take a step back. you'll have a better time and be more sustainable in the long run if you get yourself out of that grindset.
if you chose to do something because it was fun, and the final product falls short of your expectations, you're going to be way more ok with that than if you chose to do something because you thought it would get more attention and then just doesn't. because in the first case, at least you had fun.
idk, embrace intrinsic motivation for a better shot at extrinsic success.
