Hey there Gage, seems like we're both in the same boat. I've named this principle "poblish" – publish; then polish".

I have tons of drafts, thousands of notes, all of them are just not good enough.

I'll quote from one of the episodes, "No such thing as writer's block" from Seth Godin's podcast, Akimbo (highly recommended):

The idea that we are going to create more and more bad work on our way to good work is one way to unlock the myth, to get past the stuckness.

To create bad work is the only way forward :)

Lol, "poblish". Looks like a typo which makes it even better 😂. I've saved the podcast and will give it a listen!

To create bad work is the only way forward :)

Also reminds me of the software idea that "Worse is better"

thanks for your comment!
