I would never suggest not fighting through the work.

It's grueling no matter what.

It's grueling no matter what.

That said, sometimes it feels like now's not the time.

It's like everything you throw at it gets deflected.

But this other thing is guiding you.

Taking on its own life.

Earlier you asked about what I perceive to be a shortcut.

And a shortcut is...

How little can I get away with doing?

And I think that the real question is, how much more can I give to the thing I'm making?

What else can I give to it?

And thinking in terms of how much more can we do, not how much less can we do.

it's not about shortcuts.

It's not about getting it done.

You know, it's not about a four hour work week.

You know, I loved it, but that's not, it's like whatever it takes for it to be all it could be, commitment and total commitment and dedicating your life to making the best things you can, whatever it is.

Yeah.

Doing anything that's within our power, it doesn't have to make sense.

Nothing has to make sense.
