# Project
Project is a highly planned endeavor. TODO: moar
Project is a highly planned, well thought through endeavor. All kinds of projects exist, from small personal ones (such as creating a piece of furniture), through professional projects conducted by teams of specialists which span several years (such as a mainstream AAA video [game](game.md)), to international megaprojects (such as the Suez Canal) and even perpetual projects which are never planned to be terminated (such as [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md)).
## How To Do Projects Well
@ -30,4 +30,8 @@ Also let it be said that everyone has to find his own way of doing projects, it'
- **Don't expect or aim for any reward other than the finished project**, don't expect/chase [money](money.md), fame, gratitude, don't expect that anyone will notice or thank you for the project. You are making it only because you want something that doesn't yet exist to exist and that's the only reward you can and should ever expect. Firstly this makes your project [selfless](selflessness.md), secondly it makes it pure, non-corruptable, only dedicated to its goal and nothing else, thirdly it spares you suffering from failed expectations.
- **When you're hard stuck, go away from it for a (possibly long) while.** As they say before making decisions: "sleep on it" (maybe even many times) -- there's something about letting your mind rest for a while that makes your subconsciousness solve things, or at least make you comprehend the issue better, see it from a different angle. Therefore when stuck, go do something else -- this is also why it's preferable to have several projects, but generally it's good to just take a break and do something meditative like going for a walk, making something out of wood, doing some sport, sleeping, listening to music and so on. Stop trying to solve the issue you had and just relax for a few days, maybe weeks. It is quite possible inspiration will come from somewhere, fresh air will help you think and maybe a solution will occur to you during this time [spontaneously](zen.md), but even if it doesn't, when you come back to the project you'll be very fresh, rested, your thoughts will be sorted, unimportant stuff filtered out, it's like you've got a different man on the task who will help the desperate past self. Sometimes you get back and immediately spot a simple and elegant solution. Really, this works like [magic](magic.md).
- **Stop talking to everyone.** If you want to do something, you have to quit all social media, destroy your cellphone, uninstall all chatting programs etc. In times of breaks you may turn them on again, but if you're trying to do something while there are people around, you won't do anything, it's too much of a distraction. Basically put yourself in a situation when you're stranded on a desert island and there is nothing else to do save for your project, otherwise you'll keep constantly talking to people or at least checking what they're talking about and that's going to constantly interrupt your thinking.
