The loss of creative people is complex. If we have nothing to do with a creator in person, then our grief is often more to do with the loss of potential future output—the books unwritten and songs unsung. But we are not our work.

Don’t draw the UI, draw the priority instead meaning you should " … write a humble list of priorities for every project: most important info at the top -> least important info at the bottom.
