What You Can Leave For Tomorrow

DON’T FINISH TODAY

Yes, you read it right :)

You’re at the studio, working on your whatever-it-is.

It’s getting late and you’re getting tired

But the work is almost done and you’d like to clear it, so you can start fresh on Monday.

So you’re going to stay an extra hour and finish up.

I have a better idea

GO HOME NOW.

Yes,

It feels weird...

Even wrong!

To quit just before the “natural rest point”

BUT

It’s actually good for you, and for your work, to leave some loose ends.

It helps to preserve some of the energy and flow of the work

So that when you come back to the studio,

you get to slide right back into it.

It’s very helpful in dealing with procrastination.

This neat little trick works especially well with a method I call

working in passes.

A word of caution though!

This is a cool trick to try if you’re going to return to the work soon (within a few days at the most).

HOWEVER

If you’re going to be away from your work for such a long time that you might forget what you were

planning to do...

I would do the responsible thing and tie everything down before turning off the lights.
