The thing about project
The thing about project is, when you run out of time, when you run out of money, the project is over. Don’t run out of time, don’t run out of money. Good intension is no good reason for extension.

Stress test the system

Start with I don’t know
Empty prompt space is resistance. It is unknown. It is potential mistake. It is over thinking. It is doubt. Resistance defogs with our momentum. When I wrote one sentence. When I act for 2 minutes. One tactic is to admit the don’t know. Go to Claude, “I’m working on _, show me an empty prompt…

100 Meters (Netflix)
Fear is not unpleasant. Safety is not always pleasant. Anxiety arises when you test yourself against yourself 恐懼並非令人不悅，安全並非令人愉悅。當你挑戰自我十，就會產生焦慮。 Life might not feel great, it might be repetitive or lack meaning.
