  75. <p>It took me a long time to see past forever projects.</p>
  76. <p>I told myself that making promises gave beginnings gravity. I labeled <a target="_blank" href="https://dianaberlin.com/letters">my newsletter</a> a “lifelong project” not long after I started it. I called <a href="#">/mentoring</a> a “movement” the day I announced it. Commitment marked a project as something worth talking about, I thought. This was how I would give my ideas escape velocity.</p>
  77. <p>Escape velocity came, but at a cost. No amount of attention could spur perpetual motion. Once I’d set every expectation of permanence, disappointment loomed and glowered; inevitable.</p>
  78. <p>Eventually, I started asking myself: <em>why am I promising permanence?</em> The answer crept up on me: <em>because permanence is better than nothing.</em> Without the momentum of obligation, I didn’t trust myself to begin anything in earnest.</p>
  79. <p>The thing is, it never worked. The half-life of obligation is short; the half-life of guilt is long. Promises never saved one of my side projects, but they clogged many nights and weekends with the gunk of regret. Something had to change.</p>
  80. <p>My friend <a target="_blank" href="https://the-pastry-box-project.net/">Jamie Wilkinson</a> once told me about a decision he’d made. <em>No more forever projects</em>, he said. <em>From now on, every project is one-time-only</em><em>. </em>Treat beginnings like endings: celebrate them, document them, let someone else pick up where you leave off. If the project’s worth repeating, there’s nothing to say you can’t still be the standard-bearer. But at least it’s a choice. By ending well, you give yourself the freedom to begin again.</p>
  81. <p>These days, all my projects start as experiments. No forceful promises, no forever projects. Gravity seeps into the things that stick around.</p>
