Completion madness

[Edward K. Ream]

That's how I have been thinking about my present mental state for the last few days ;-)

Actually, though, the disease is more about the urge to finish a project.  But I'll let the title stand.

In fact, staying complete with unfinished items is crucial to avoid burnout.  That's why Leo's issues are so important.  They allow me to forget details without worry, and (potentially) without the compulsion to finish any one item on a schedule.

For most of this year I have telling people that I have been "on fire" with Leo work. Without Leo's issues I would rapidly melt down trying to remember everything that must be done.

But lately completing/finishing items has become a bit of an obsession.  I have been telling people that I need a bit more balance in my life.  And failing pretty spectacularly :-)

Summary

It's time to step back and acknowledge that 6.0 final may not happen before my vacation.  That shouldn't be a big deal for anyone.  Having said that, I'll attempt to fix all outstanding bugs before I leave.

Progress has been rapid, yet slower than I would like. Hehe.

Still it's crucial to make haste slowly by creating issues for everything that needs attention.  Some mornings I spend hours making notes in Leo, then making issues or posts from those notes.  Today was one of those days.

That can't be helped, even though the "finishing" phase of Leo 6.0 has taken weeks.  The alternative is burnout, or madness, or both :-)

 So naturally what you need is to spend time fiddling with a new tool...

https://github.com/github/hub 

A command line tool that can be used for creating issues on GitHub

hub issue create -a tbnorth -l "blocker,infrastructure" -m "Don't forget to do blah blah"                                                                                 

 would create an issue on GitHub for the repo. the command line's cd'ed to.

So you could automate issue creation from leo nodes.

Cheers -Terry
