A lot of creative work is completing things and no one ever knowing. Getting through a rough draft? Well, no one is going to really see it. Finished revising a tricky chapter? Cool! No one will probably see that work; they’ll just enjoy the full project. And a lot of times, creative work has multiple steps, so completing one just means more to do, always and forever more things piling up. 

So, what do you do? Keep running on the treadmill of non-stop work? 

Gross no.
