Great article! I‘m increasingly thinking this not just applies to software development but in general to life, and certainly to more open goal ventures.

@wrede I found myself trying to come up with masterplans, milestones I thought I‘d need to achieve. But not only did this lead to the dreaded „never ending to do list“, it also turned out again and again that once I was there, things were different than I had expected.

@wrede Just to give an example, when I became self-employed, I expected to put in a few months of marketing before I‘d get some work. But it turned out my network was so strong that I immediately had projects to work on (thanks to everyone who put their trust in me!)

@wrede When I had a bit of free time earlier this year, I started to obsess about the best project to build, but that just paralyzed me because it was too much pressure and I was just re-learning sole skills.
