Obsessing about the design of a landing page is like obsessing about the floor layout of a retail space.

Sure, it might be interesting and eventually pleasing to look at, but in the end it is like obsessing about the manufacturer of a specific Coin-Slot-Component of an Arcade-Machine.

And that means it only makes you happy, if happiness is the sound that coins make in your purse. And that is a quite boring and limited outlook on happiness in my opinion.

So true. I usually waste way too much energy on this type of thing.

And the thing is, the most harmful thing about it is it will never be complete, never be good enough. You'll look at something neat and you'll want to copy it, you'll want to change your layout and at the end of the day that's just a huge waste of time.

I struggle with it and It's a really bad thing.
