✏️ TREE 273: Ship your work

One.

There is virtue in striving for perfection. There is wisdom in knowing when it’s time to stop tweaking, put your creation in the box and slap on the Hermes label. (Other, much better couriers are available.)

Shipping work that is not quite perfect on time is better than shipping too late or not shipping anything.

A thing about sending an email to you five days a week while having a family, a full-time job and the occasional side gig is good enough is the best I can do. If each day I can manage to say 90% of what I mean and it’s said 90% as good as I can make it, I’m happy.

At the same time, I’m never satisfied. My 90%-as-good-as-I-can-make-it is (hopefully) better now than it was a year ago.

Two.

‘I’ve come as Superman flying through turbulence.’

Three.

An example of shipping: Pomplamoose have been releasing a single every week for at least six months. Not all of them are amazing. They are all worth listening too. I think their latest is better than the original.

What if I meant the other definition of ship!? (I didn’t, but it would be fun to pretend I did.)
