I'm very slow at doing things, because I consider things too much, I very much believe this is the main skill I need to work on, because the quicker you do something, the quicker it goes wrong, so you can course correct.
The book Creativity INC by Ed Catmul talks about this and they actually studied it at Pixar and they discovered the teams that moved faster were the best, the teams that considered everything for much longer, were wrong just as much as the teams that moved quickly, the only difference is because the other team moved quickly they could course correct sooner and also they were less tied into there original idea, so happy to drop it and go the other direction, were as the team that was slower and more considered took longer to drop the non-working idea, as they dug deeper and tried to make it work, since they were more invested in it.
- DoesntMatter22 3y agoI worked at a company where the team was asking for an internal dashboard to see real time metrics from these events we handle. My boss was like "Yeah, we are gonna need 6 months and a team of 5, and we need to plan this out right for once". I went and wrote a version of it in a weekend and it ended up being what they needed. They had a few minor requests which took an hour or two but not much overall. My boss was pretty mad at me that I made him look bad though lol. I could have handled that part better I guess, but I hate when people want to spend forever planning especially when you can get something out real quick.
