Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.

~Henry Miller

A small thought:

It's easy for people to get tripped up on perfection. The rise of social media has only made that worse. Few things are more effective at making one feel "lesser" than an endless scroll through perfectly curated photos. It's the same with writing.

We only get the polished end product. What we don't see are all the previous edits or the trash can full of discarded ideas.

That quest for an ideal product is well-intentioned, but can be regressive. It’s easy to become so concerned with doing your best that you wind up shipping something inferior, or worse—never finishing at all.

Endless tweaking and "optimizing" are gateways to paralytic indecision.

It feels counter-intuitive (and a little cheap), but try re-framing your focus on simply enjoying what you're doing-and even crashing through it recklessly once in a while.

I've found that doing so often results in higher quality work than what would've happened otherwise.
