Transmission 002 // Shipping Under Academic Load

The honest answer: I don't. Not consistently. But here's what works when it does. Time-boxing. An hour a night, non-negotiable, after academics. No deep-work sessions during the week — those are for the weekend. Weeknights are for unblocking, not architecting. Scope compression. Every project gets cut in half twice before I start. Soundara wasn't going to have payments. Then it needed payments. The rule: build the wedge first, expand if signal justifies it. Public commits. If a repo is public and a README says "coming soon," I owe someone something. That pressure is free and it works.
