Obviously, not sleeping isn't the greatest way to have your best thoughts. I understand that.
However, I think you're missing out on a huge upside. You are judged by your best works not your failures.
The problem with studying the success of others is that you're not doing anything. I would know, I spent 2 years doing it and had nothing to show for it.
When I say throw up a lot of crap, what I really mean is throw up good enough stuff to validate the idea. Then go from there. It maybe painful, but it works. It certainly isn't slow. I can throw up an outline of 5 blog posts and say, "Which one do you want to read?" and then write the post everyone likes. Or I can study how the best bloggers do it and start tomorrow(which never comes).
- Mz 16y agoOh, I actually do plenty of that or I wouldn't still be posting here. I'm a woman and very open about that. Women sometimes comment here that it's a tough environment for a woman. And it can be. But it's also a growth experience. If I get badly downvoted or something, I wonder why, I wonder what I can do differently, rather than just feeling burned and going away to lick my wounds. In this case, I really think my impetus to immediately post and start asking questions is probably a bad one, a premature impetus. It will be better for me to do some of the legwork before posting and requesting feedback. I'm not a patient person. :-) So I don't really want to wait. But I think it is best, not just because I am not in a good place mentally today but for other reasons as well.
