I'm pretty sure these are from Seth Godin, about the "resistance." This is extremely pertinent to anyone who is self-employed who faces no external deadlines. These are all paraphrased.
-You don't need more genius, you need less resistance.
-Freedom(meaning free time, no boss) feeds the resistance. Your tasks are vague and hard to measure. Freedom makes it easy to hide, easy to find excuses.
-There is stalling, a waste, an insidious plot to keep you from doing your real work
-Get around resistance with multiple paths, and different ways to win. No one proposal is do or die.
-The work is feeding, amplifying, and glorifying the daemon.
-Which ever way the wind of resistance is, that's the way to head in your work. (So powerful a concept...)
-The closer you get to surfacing and defeating resistance, the harder it fights.
-Dream bigger
-Strip away anything that looks productive but doesn't involve shipping
Do nothing between projects-alone with your thoughts with the resistance.
