A finished average song beats a perfect one sitting in your drafts forever.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Work that never leaves your possession cannot do anything for you or for anybody else. Perfectionism protects you from judgment by making sure nothing ever gets judged, and the price is that you learn nothing and build nothing. Finishing is a separate skill from doing good work, and it is the one that compounds.

Take whatever is closest to done and release it this week at the quality it currently has. Set a deadline short enough to force the decision. The next one will be better, and that only happens once this one has left.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
