       Something I learnt b in therapy, that might help others.Make active goals.This means to not set goals on states, but on actions.For example:Instead of "I finish this thing" make your goal "I work on this thing today"Reason is, you can't really control the state, as a lot can come up.But you can control more that you work on something. And any amount of work would suffice to reach that goal. So even if you work in it for just an hour, it might not be finished, but you worked on it

       @maxine this is working pretty well for me. I'm working on a native Mastodon desktop client, and my only goal is to work a little bit on it whenever I have the time. I've gotten further on it than I have with any software project in a long time. Of course I hope that it will be "finished" some time so I can release it to people, but that would merely be a happy side-effect.
