Zombie branches
Sometimes you have zombie branches.
Zombie branches are little projects that are large enough to be difficult to completely set aside a day and ship but either important or approachable enough that you can chip away at, slowly, such that it never feels like you should just close the branch and call a sunk cost a sunk cost.
One of my goals this month is to try and get things as tabula rasa as I can for whatever a long-term schedule looks like in June. This of course means trying to cull the zombie branches, one way or another.
