Make it badly, then make it again. The second version only exists because the first one did.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Second versions depend on first ones existing. You cannot see what is wrong with something until it is in front of you, so the bad version is not waste but the only available route to the better one. Trying to skip straight to the good attempt usually means not attempting at all. Making something poor quickly is the fastest way to learn what good would be.

Finish a rough version of something this week, fast and without fixing anything. Put it aside for a day, then make it again from the start rather than editing. Compare the two and keep what the second one taught you.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What would your second attempt fix that you cannot predict?
