I keep this on my desk, in a spot where my eyes land whenever my head starts to wander: https://bwitzenhausen.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/butler-wal...

"First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice."

I have a set of mandatory activities, which I do for one hour and forty minutes.

When I have motivation or interest, I pushed on.

With this, I released a rewritten version of a factorio mod(thank god that I didn't decide to try to rewrite all of it). I am also on the last leg in completing a story.

However, I got whacked with a computer hardware failure, exiling me from osx and data...

Now, I'll have to find other activities worth doing in lieu of a working computer until it get fixed. :(
