Q: hey bill. i have a predicament. school will be starting very soon and i have some things i would like to get done before i decended back into hell, namely one very important Thing. i am very excited to be working on the Thing, but the problem is many others around me are aware of me working on the Thing, and this troubles me, because they are breathing down my neck and asking me to be done with the Thing. this makes me rush, and then become unsatisfied with what i have done, causing me to delete what I have done and restart, not only ultimately wasting my time, but makes the others unhappy and ask more frequently. how do i stop this cycle?
A: try doing more shorter things until you are more comfortable and confident in your process. also you could try being more secretive about the projects until you are more confident in the procedure
