    Do that side project.

    How many times have you told yourself

    • I’ll start that open source project I’ve been thinking of
    • I’ll write that utility which will make my job easier
    • I’ll enroll for that course on Artificial Intelligence and write that amazing recommendation system

    and then did nothing?

    Well, guess what. Time passes. Yes, really.

    Anne Dillard said

    “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

    Think about that for a moment.

    Don’t waste time on thinking about when to think about planning to think about thinking about when to start thinking about doing it. Do it now.
