having been traveling / vacationing for nearly 3 weeks my usual feeling of my self-promotion for Patreon, GitHub sponsors et. al. not being particularly effective is being corrected by learning what *really* not being particularly effective looks like
there’s a life lesson in here somewhere that may be more generally applicable, to wit, “if you are feeling discouraged because it feels like the thing you are doing is not being effective, keep in mind that doing things is almost always more effective than not doing things”
@glyph or “perfect is the enemy of good “
@glyph Related: "the exercise you do is much much better than the exercise you should do"
@TomF @glyph anything worth doing is worth doing badly [as opposed to being stuck in choice paralysis and not starting]
@c0dec0dec0de @glyph To solve a problem well, you must first understand it. And to understand it, you must first solve it badly.
@TomF @glyph refinement/editing are frequently easier or less daunting than starting as well
