Yeah, frequently. Force yourself to write something and get it out there. Applies to programming too: how many times have you put off actually coding a project

Yeah, frequently. Force yourself to write something and get it out there. Applies to programming too: how many times have you put off actually coding a project because you're still tweaking the design? If you're me, too many times. Just write and get something committed -- you can always tweak later. There was just a discussion of this here: if it's worth doing, it's worth doing badly (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11262448 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11262448).
(I still struggle with this, not preaching down at you from a high mountain. Very far from that in fact.)
- mgalka 11y agoAgree w the programming analogy. It's easy to get caught up spending lots of time on design detail, only to trash the whole feature later on. Seems harder w writing for some reason. But worth trying. Thanks for the thought.
