Should I keep going with my project?

What this question usually is

• It usually gets asked at the exact moment the work stops being fun and starts being ordinary.
• It is often about the audience, not the project: nobody has noticed yet, and that is not the same as nobody caring.
• It is usually answered too early, in a tired week, or too late, after the money is gone.

What tends to help

• Write what "working" would look like in numbers you can check in 30 days.
• Cut the scope in half and finish the smaller version. Momentum is a better adviser than doubt.
• Ask one real person who would use it. Not for praise — for the first sentence they say.
• Set a date to decide again. Deciding not to decide is still a decision, and the expensive one.

What the reading adds

周易 has been read for three thousand years — not to predict, but to give a moment a form you can look at. Put the question in, and the reading usually shows whether the ground is fertile now or still frozen (复, return) — it reads the season, not your worth.
