I'm glad you taught that Mr. Harold geezer a lesson. But on a serious note, I think discipline and willpower separate you from other creatives. Many creatives go off of sheer raw talent and get lucky. I think you realize that you don't want to bet on your life, so you're willing to put in the work to ensure success, whatever that is to you.

Your writing is improving. I can see you writing a great self-help book with the great insights you have. I think you can help others with how you see the world and gamify objectives. A lot of people don't know how to be disciplined and I think they would benefit from your outlook.

I really appreciate how thoughtfully you see the effort behind the craft. It means a lot coming from someone who values depth.

I want to add something I've been thinking about on the topic of gamifying objectives. I know I recommended it here, but I'm on the hypothesis in my life now that you have to accept the objectives are naturally unfun. If you don't, when you can't overcome the unfunness of it, you will give up.
