When starting a new project it’s almost as though you need someone standing over your shoulder going – “Smaller”.
And then you make things a bit smaller.
And then they say – “Focus it down more”
And then you focus your intent a bit more.
And then they say – “Get rid of the extra and minimize it.”
And then you take away all the bells and whistles.
And then they say – “What’s left that’s making it feel like a mountain?”
And then you strip away that and what you’re left with is the barest of intentions of what you are trying to work on and you start doing that – you forget about everything you stripped away and you just focus on doing that little bit before doing more.
That voice needs to get louder.
