This video summarizes everything there is about time & work management. Most simple and most sensible video that puts 'Deep work' idea in a nutshell.

I always follow Commander Montgomery Scott's method for calculating ROM for any task. Take your most realistic estimate and factor that by 8. You think this will take two weeks? Say four months. $1, 000 budget? Expect to pay $8, 000.

This has never let me down.

What if the problem is that they get into the flow and forget when to stop. As in, I have seen this with some of my colleagues that they are perfectionists and don’t ever know when something is good enough to be put out there.

I care about art being good and relevant. Maybe I should care about its source, but I just don't.
