@bink_cards@Topps@CardPurchaser Bro I told you on whatnot that this was a bad idea. You got both of those for less than $600 total out of breaks. Come on man. This one is on you.
One of my favorite time management essays is “Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule” by @paulg. Give it a read.
As @bfeld and many others have observed, great creative work isn’t possible if you’re trying to piece together 30 minutes here and 45 minutes there.
Large, uninterrupted blocks of time—3-5 hours minimum—create the space needed to find and connect the dots.
And one block per week isn’t enough.
There has to be enough slack in the system for multi-day CPU-intensive synthesis. For me, this means at least 3-4 mornings per week where I am in “maker” mode until at least 1pm.
If I’m in reactive mode, maker mode is all but impossible.
