I can’t stay motivated to keep working on projects

Commitment. That’s the ultimate constraint. Deciding that you’re going to show up every day and create, no matter what. Treating your work as a daily practice, professionalizing your art and using daily momentum to keep yourself from feeling detached from the process. Ask any professional creator, there’s a mysterious dimension to mundane work ethic. Commitment creates a gravitational field that draws good things into it. Commitment, then, as a restraint, is actually what sets you free. Commitment is freedom from results. When you’ve committed to doing something everyday, there’s no finish line in sight. Because you’re not playing to win, you’re playing to keep the game going. Today, it’s about the journey, not the destination, which allows you to be fully present with the activity at hand. Commitment is freedom from inhibition. When you’ve committed to doing something everyday, there’s no limitations on taking shots and missing. Because you’re just going zero out your board when you play tomorrow anyway. Today, it’s about suiting up, hanging your balls out hitting it with all you’ve got. Commitment is freedom from pressure. When you’ve committed to doing something everyday, there’s no need to put all your eggs in one basket. Because you’re distributing your effort into small, consistent, doable increments.
