Don’t Binge Your Project

TV used to create tension. Each week you’d finish watching what was on the TV and have to WAIT until the next week to see what happened (and God forbid a rerun was inserted in there to prolong your wait). That’s tension, that’s having to wait for something to happen. Better yet, it builds anticipation, you would change your schedule so you can be home at that exact time to ensure you missed none of the show.

It’s the only way you’ll realize what you’re missing. It’s the only way you’ll be inspired from other parts of life. It’s the only way you’ll grow. It’s the best way to succeed. It’s the greatest path to learning. It’s what you did for the first ten years of your life when everything was new.
