I don't know about mindset specifically but I always figured if you want to do a thing just...do the thing.

You may or may not have to break the thing down into smaller chunks and subchunks and possibly subsubchunks and beyond to do.

Haha, you always had the warrior or spartan attitude. 🤣

I fear giving up on things halfway😅. Wish there was a cure for that.

Would you rather try and fail (and learn from your mistakes and refine the process and try again and make some new and different mistakes along with successes big and small rinse repeat) or not try at all and wonder if you could have succeeded or look back wishing that you had just done it?

The first one seems like a lot of work. But the second one is baggage I don't want to carry.
I wish there was a third option.

What about you @ryivhnn san, how do you find the motivation to keep going? You know sometimes I talk to myself and even ask why I got myself into trouble or a situation. But that's all my alter ego is a bigger idiot than me.

Anything worth doing is generally a lot of work. If you're actually following a dream you'll enjoy most of it and some of it will be a hard slog. If it's all a hard slog, maybe re-evaluate XD and if the reality of your dream turns out to be a hard slog that you choose to discontinue, it would only have been a waste of time if you somehow managed to learn nothing at all from it (which would be quite an achievement given that at the very least you would have learned that the reality varied greatly from the fantasy and that maybe you didn't enjoy it as much as you thought you would).

The project I write progblogs about that never seems to go anywhere at any speed I've been literally working on for the last 20 years XP

I don't actually know how to answer the motivation question. I just do stuff that I want to do and drop stuff that I either don't want to do anymore or very reluctantly drop it because logistics kind of get in the way a lot lately ^_^; The only thing I really have to motivate myself to do is housework because I have an infinite amount of infinitely better things to do than that XD
