Just stop thinking.
Trends that are emerging:
- Things that intimidate me to the point of a mental roadblock are rarely as difficult as I think they are.
- Trying, messing up, and fixing it wastes less time than not doing anything out of fear of messing up.
Therefore,
- overthinking creates the perception of difficulty where it doesn't have to be, and I should shut up and act more often.
The same can be said of a few of my video projects. One of the old ones that's stood up quite well over time (IMO) was done in five weeks, without any roadblocks. Probably because I didn't stop to think about it.
So on that note, I am tired - partly from mild sleep deprivation, partly from concentrating too long on that stuff - but I won't think about how much I hate cardio and how I have to do half an hour of it today.
20 pushups yesterday in the "assessment" mode, which I think is a personal best. That's always been my weak point. Knees-down pushups, but still. Personal best. Shut up.
Wandering back to the first point, I did finish that bear that day (among many other things), although I may take off a button and move it because it's off center and that bugs me. But it's absurdly cute. I don't care whether nobody recognizes it or not, though they should, dammit.
OK, time for fricking cardio. whee.
