    I feel lucky that I’ve found hobbies where I enjoy the practicing instead of the results. Everything I’ve tried with a goal is mind has eventually been dropped, but the ones that I enjoy regardless of results have stuck around. Eventually I even got good at some.

      Thats why im kind of burned out on music. The end goal is usually to get it published and have people listen. Thats very hard. Plus since anyone can just make anything with ai now and people cant tell the difference, its not worth it to make music. A new album is made every minute of every day.

      Its too bad because writing and recording were so fun. But its stupid to do if it goes nowhere and I have 300 unfinished songs on a hard drive.

      Aside from results, it’s also when you run into some issue that wastes time/effort at best and needs to be actively resolved (materials or other process stuff) at worst. Lots of ways that make it worse, too (lack of help, energy, money, transportation etc).
