I tend to gravitate towards long-term projects, but it can also be helpful to focus on smaller aspects of said long-term projects. That way, the excitement of completing a small task is still there, but I'm still working on something big!

I take my time to craft my long-term projects, piece by piece. But I also love to snack on any computational problem daily (from Project Euler, HackerRank, or some random problem)
