Fruit picked too early never finishes ripening in the bowl. Neither does a plan you rushed out the door.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Some processes cannot be completed after the fact. Taken out of its conditions before it is finished, a thing does not carry on maturing elsewhere, it stops where it was and stays there. Releasing early does not buy you time, it fixes the quality at whatever level it had reached.

When you feel the pull to send something out before it is ready, name what specifically is still unfinished. Give that part the days it requires. Late and whole beats early and permanently half made.
