Ive started dozens of books in the last 10 years and would get bogged down in the first few chapters. Details, settings, tweaking dialogue. I set three months aside and told myself to write 10 pages a day until I was done. No edits, just creation. You get into an obsessive flow state where progress is the only outcome. The story came to me automatically and the rough draft was finished in two months. Where focus goes, energy flows.

“Freedom, lack of limitation, and endless options are not necessarily you’re friend all of the time, most of the time”. This rang true with me. I think I’ve always looked for ways to earn the most while doing the least, even though the best jobs I’ve ever had or the accomplishments Im most proud of come from times in my life where I felt like I was doing the most and earning the least. A lot of days where I felt like I should be doing something better, and then when I attained something “better” it turned out to just be a mirage.

[@MagnusChirgwin]

Ask yourself: How is my perfectionism actually helping me? Honor it for a second. For me it's an obvious defense against dissapointing people and the fear of failure. Looking at it like that brings empathy to my situation and I can say, thanks "part-of-me-that's-a-perfectionist" for trying to protect me against pain...and then work from there. I truly believe there are no bad parts.

[@imnotarob0t1984]

He's right about the auto industry. What sam is talking about is analogue vs digital. There is no replacement for handcrafted things made by a high quality craftsmen. Like cars, used to be made with the best materials in mind, the best design practices. Now they are made with shitty plastics and shittified materials. Every time I'm in a tesla, it smells weird and feels like a weird plastic to everything I touch on the inside. But when I'm in a mercedes from the 80s, the materials are high quality leather, chrome, high quality wood, not very much plastic. Basically, digitalism has opened the barrier for entry but also shittified quality. Take a watch for example, yeah you can get an apple watch but it's not as high quality as a Rolex.

[@hyperTorless]

I do absolutely agree. Nothing will ever top real, physical things you can touch and tweak. It's deep lindy.

The "perfect" is the enemy of good.

[@Aristoteles83]

Infinite choices and nothingness end up being the same. To create, you have to make a decision that limits yourself, because for something to be a creation, to become something in the first place, it has to have boundaries that define its form. Creating confronts you with your own death AND you relive your own birth. It asks you the question of the value of your own life and being. And that can terrify and thus block you. You have to have a relationship with your audience who you are creating something for, with and in relation to. That's how something becomes meaningful to you and another person.

[@KidGlo]

[@Beef3D]

For a moment Sam talks Almost identical as Terrence Fletcher giving that speech to Andrew about how rewarding mediocrity ultimately creates more mediocrity and dilutes an art form, and his passion for jazz music saying; "There are no two words in the English language more harmful than 'good job'..."

[@morezombies9685]

As always its a mixed bag with Sam. On one hand he denounces perfectionism and then on the other he spouts rhetoric that supports it. I think hes right on both accounts. Hold yourself to a standard above most but dont chase the impossible. Perfection is nice but Terrance drove one of his students to suicide.
