Ten things started is not progress.
It's ten open tabs in your head,
each one costing rent.
Every unfinished task
keeps a little of your attention hostage.
You feel busy.
You are just fragmented.
Finishing one small thing
returns more energy than starting three.
So close the loop.
Merge the PR. Send the message.
Delete the branch.
An empty background
is where good work actually happens.
Done is quiet.
Chase the quiet.
– Serguey Asael Shinder
