I think most of the best new work is intended to have much more impact at once.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think when you focus on the work, it becomes a simpler pursuit.
I think my work has become more interesting, well to me anyway.
To some extent, I'm mildly surprised by every new piece, by the precise path that my interest takes.
Something I've learned is that it actually takes a lot of work to make something great.
I always tend to favor the newer idea.
Juggling many projects and having all these accidental collisions that you can't predict enables a kind of comparative thinking. To focus on a single project from beginning to end is extremely difficult, not just for me, but for many people.
If the work is going well and it's something that has value with some meaning to it, it gives back a lot.
Different' and 'new' is relatively easy. Doing something that's genuinely better is very hard.
The general direction seems to be becoming fairly clear to me, but every new piece is a small adventure.
Most work is not coming up with The Next Big Thing. Rather, it's improving the thing you already thought of six months - or six years - ago. It's the work of work.
