Well said. I do rather love getting in the zone on a project, even if the result is far away. But it’s definitely easier said than done to appreciate the journey as much as the result.

I feel like I have a compulsion to create and sometimes I crave that satisfaction of having accomplished something. So when it comes to larger projects, I like to revel in the completion of smaller tasks (eg, wrote a cool scene, finished a screen in an app, etc).
