+We have to achieve what Dr Jekyll couldn't.
+
+In every person lives creator and critic.  
+For a lucky few, those are in near balance.  
+But for the rest of us, we trend woefully toward one end of the continuum.
+
+Too critical to publish or to creative to progress.
+
+Your work requires that you build a boundary between the man and the monster.  
+But how will you succeed where the doctor failed?
+
+You'll be better prepared.
+
+My favorite creatives have fight this battle and shared their tactics:
+
+- [You and You, Inc.](https://stevenpressfield.com/2017/02/you-inc/) — Steven Pressfield
+- [Muse and Mule](https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_your_elusive_creative_genius) — Elizabeth Gilbert
+- [Maker and Manager](http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html) — Paul Graham
+
+Each of these thoughts guides me thru different struggles.  
+**Maker and Manager** is a framework of dividing a day into distinct modes.  
+**You and You Inc** is a defense against imposter syndrome.
+And **Muse and Mule** is a comfort when luck doesn't show.
