Did.... Something. Not sure I really like it. Might put this on hold for a bit while I think of next steps

Process
+ Mistakes

I think one of the best pieces of advice I ever received was along the lines of, "don't be committed to a mistake just because you've put a lot of time into it."

In accounting, there's a concept called "sunk costs". Money or resources that have been spent that cannot be recovered.

In painting, the inside of these boxes now have an originally unintended white undercoat, that I decided was taking too long, and wasn't achieving what I had originally wanted.

In other words a mistake. But also practice, a learning experience, an experiment.

If you make a mistake, just put some paint on top and call it an undercoat. Or primer.

Don't be so committed to your original thought that you see anything else as failure. It's just an evolving creation. Like we all are.
