I really like the analogies of SLC (simple, lovable, and complete)[0] and “I’m the only user”[1] to motivate how I finish my projects. Often times I have a project I’m working on and my imaginary perception of what a user needs is steering the development. Whereas, in reality, I just need the thing to work for myself and I can pretty it up how I like.
