Try more, think less
If you dropped by my blog yesterday, or subscribe via RSS, you might have seen a post appear and then quietly disappear.
It was a post about an idea I had for creating a Bear theme “live”, documenting every part of the process. It lasted about three hours, then I realized it was a bit too much work for me to handle.
Hasty idea? Should I have thought it through a little more?
No, I don’t think so.
I did think about it, and I decided to give it a try. I figured it was the only way to really know if it would fly.
Otherwise, I would’ve spent endless hours just thinking about it, never really knowing how it would feel in real life. Instead of three hours, it might have turned into three days down the drain.
If you have an idea, don’t waste your time trying to perfect it. Try it out, within reasonable limits. See how it feels and how others respond... if it even survives longer than three hours.
You might end up with something you would never have discovered by only thinking about it. Go live and see what comes alive.
Good luck!
