I’m definitely in the let’s-get-this-sucker-finished camp. I like plowing my way through projects and having the satisfaction of stamping the final product with a big, red DONE.
Ideally, I would get to work on one major thing at a time and see the whole thing through from beginning to end – from first notes all the way through to the last bits of promotion – before I go on to the next thing.
It’s a dream that I’ve held on to, not only for creative projects, but also day job assignments. There is something deeply appealing about making something a strong priority. It rarely happens, however, because other tasks intrude and pull focus. I find that frustrating.
Recent developments have made me question, however, if this should even be an ideal I strive for.
