    I recently isolated an issue I have; I frequently start projects not because so much I want the end result, as to see whether I can do them. So I get to a certain point where I've learned a great deal and confirmed that, yes I can do it and it just needs finishing now, and I can't be bothered because my interest was pretty much all in the "I wonder if I can..." part.

    Tip 2 is what I have learned recently and I still catch myself 'looking up' from time to time. Being overwhelmed sends me in a state of shock where I sort of freeze and then couple of weeks later I realize that the projects hasn't moved forward which sure doesn't help. What helps me is to admit to myself that I am overwhelmed, take a deep breath and then do a little bit anyway. Ignore the big picture just pick one todo and finish it.

    i've had the same experience with Trello and often spreadsheets instead. for smaller projects just making to do lists in notepad works for me.

    Another cracking video. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It's great to flip back to older vids to see how far 'The Bigglboss Incident' has come in two years. Every second well spent IMO.

    Definitely in that valley of despair now 😅 I found tip number 2 to be what works for me. Just plod along with the next thing and after a while you've got yourself a decent amount of progress!
    Then you look at the whole thing and reassess, then start plodding again.

    Your videos keep getting better. Both in terms of production value and useful content. You are touching on universal truths here that every artist deals with.

    I keep my to-do list completely in my head. I do separate my game into different tasks though, with sound design left until last for each scene.

    With that title I'm curious about your retention (or if you have a big drop in the beginning) because I was expecting a video specifically about Trello... might get better retention with a different title?

    Enjoyed your thoughts, they parallel my own experience. I used Ora for a while, actually still have the project file, which I’ve not visited in over a year. I reverted back to Excel which I’ve relied on for over decades… too long but it works for me. Anyway, always appreciate your videos.

    "It's kind of counter-intuitive to think about the whole job all of the time."
    Where were you a few days ago when I was coming to this revelation when it comes to my poor eating? I decided to think of my eating as a series of decisions and, more specifically, a series of problems that need solving. I don't need to solve the whole problem of "overeating" at once, nor do I need to look at all of the individual problems I have that cause me to overeat all at once.
    I'm writing a novel and I'm using your videos as personal inspiration.

      If I may....I had a similar issue with food a while ago @Selrisitai. Some people have an odd fast adapting metabolism, I'm one of them, and if you live alone, it's hard to notice. Without realising, my body adapted to sugar being my main energy source. Perpetually up and down energy wise, I never got a normal 'hungry signal' unless I wasn't eating chocolate or sipping sweet tea & coffee. A friend expressed concern, so I changed my diet - took a few months to adjust, and then rewrote a few scenes and they were much better! Clearer, emotional, funnier.
      "Every word needs energy to move the reader." is now one of my new mantras, so I always start the day with a good quality Porridge with apple/banana and a healthy spoon of honey! I can work til past lunchtime on full speed then.
      Good luck with the novel mate!

      To add to this (as a person whose weight has always yo-yo'd): I've been having Huel for lunch for about five years now, and absolutely swear by it. Anything else makes me feel sleepy and sluggish in the afternoon.

    I don't think the half an hour a week argument is sound. For a game that would take 1 year full-time, that would be 80 years to complete it with 30 minutes/week. There is a reason why many people start game projects but very few finish them.

    So you're making roughly 50-60 quid (is that the correct term, American here) per month, which roughly translates to 70-75 USD off of patreon?
