Advice, Unexpected

Some days the advice you need comes to you at just the right time, all unexpected.

Lorem Ipsum and Light Bulbs, Hank Green

You’ve probably heard the bowl story, or some version of it, but I’m going to tell it to you again. Some diabolical teacher split his ceramics students into two groups. One group was told to spend the entire semester making one perfect bowl. The other group was graded on sheer volume… just make as many bowls as you can, quality be damned.

At the end of the semester, the group that was told to just make a bunch of bowls made the better bowls.

This is a common idea in creative circles, but Hank’s version popped up in my inbox just when I needed to hear it. 

Maybe it will help you too?
