This came up in a comment by thenewgreen which I'm having trouble finding, and I think it's a very interesting question.

There's seemingly a disproportionate number of people on Hubski working on projects, family matters, starting new parts of their lives, and everything else in between. For a lot of these things it's not as simple as "I'm going to schedule all of this in Microsoft Project and once items x, y, and z have been finished, I'm done". Life is a lot more grey and less binary than that. When it comes to relationships, personal projects, so on and so forth how do you know you're done or approaching the end? Do you find yourself struggling to close out of things?

Even before graduating I saw the end of the line coming with my involvement in Dadstache Records because I had other things in mind. Even now I'm starting to realize that this blog isn't exactly what I want to be doing and will likely be closing it for a while to think about this some more and how I can better service the local music scene in a unique way.

I saw Spiritualized and Curve open for The Jesus and Mary Chain on the Honey's Dead tour in 1992.

You never know when you're done. You decide. This is an important distinction because "knowing" is an internal observation of an external phenomenon while "deciding" is an internal action on an external condition. Deciding has initiative. Knowing has only awareness.

You can decide that something is done when you hit five milestones on the Gannt chart or you can decide that it's done when your critical path is blocked or you can decide that you have more important things to do in your life than commit indie bands to vinyl but in all cases, you are making an active choice.

But nobody can decide but you, and while you should absolutely solicit all the advice and counsel you need to make that decision, you should never give it over to someone else.
