For the marketer, the freelancer and the entrepreneur, the challenge is to level set, to be comfortable with the undone, with the cycle of never-ending. We were trained to finish our homework, our peas and our chores. Today, we’re never finished, and that’s okay. It’s a dance, not an endless grind.

The paragraph is from a short post on Seth Godin’s blog in May 2012. We kept it because it describes a feeling everyone who works for themselves knows: nothing is ever quite finished. Godin’s answer is to live with that rather than fight it.
