Just do it!
Nike sure has one good slogan. So many times I’ve talked and talked about doing it, but just never went ahead and did it. That’s changed in the past couple of years. Now I get an idea and pick a date to do it. Otherwise, I just flounder around and pretty soon 2 years go by.
Decided to enter The Art of Nonconformity Essay/Blog Challenge. Instead of waiting until 3 days before the deadline: July 11, I got writing immediately. Let it sit for a few days then resumed editing.
Letting it sit works wonders. Returning after a few days I clearly see what’s not working and what is working. Sometimes a sentence seems fantastic, until I step back from it. When I return I see it just doesn’t fit. So, I rework it until every line has a purpose.
A good approach to a lot of things in life. Get going. Let it percolate. Then get going again. Giving something space gives it perspective.
