You can't just know 1 thing or be good at 10 tasks to produce something to high quality, you have to do 1000 tasks you've never done before. I recently discovered the idea of a minimum viable product and the whole "fail fast, fail better concept." It was a comment on HN that gave me the idea for The Metronome and I ended up launching the magazine in less than a month. I've never done something like it, but I wanted this thing to really exist, so I did what I new and put it out--and the response to it has been overwhelmingly positive. The second issue will go out tomorrow; I learned from my difficulties while making the first one and ended up needing less time to create the second one. Perfectionism is a terrible problem, so doing things and getting better as you go is better than trying to be better before you actually do the thing, I believe. |
