Noticing Your Own Processes and Adapting to Them

somehow, this is a lesson i forget over and over again.

my prof has especially been talking about the design process recently and noticing how you naturally work (e.g. losing steam in the middle or at the end, how people will each do things differently)

for me, this can be a little discouraging bcs it seems like i always let myself down. life for me is failure after failure--at this point, it is definietely the norm for me.

recently, though, i've noticed something i think? it's definitely a pattern: i alternate between periods of slow plodding along--no motivation to work on the project--and short bursts of motivation at the beginning and at the end.

but even though i have that increased motivation at the end, it always falls back down again RIGHT before the finish line...

i'm not sure if this is an issue of time pressure, my nitpicky nature and attention to detail causing me to slow down at the end as i subconsciously realize i will never be 100% satisfied with it, or just needing a lot of time to figure out my approach to something
