when people say "let's take our time," they're usually just scared to start. that week you spend making the perfect plan is the time you could've spent actually doing stuff.

i get it. i used to want everything perfect before starting. but i was wrong. going fast helps you find problems early and learn things you'd never learn by just thinking about it. also going slow doesn't mean you're being careful. usually it means you're avoiding the work. good things happen when you just start building.

why being perfect hurts

think about when you last waited to start something because you wanted it "just right." how much time did you waste? when you try to be perfect, you miss out on actually doing things.

going fast basically means:

• you learn from real experience, not just thoughts
• you get better by doing things over and over
• you get better at solving problems
• you learn faster because you try more things

the world moves quick. things change all the time. being able to adapt quickly matters more than getting it perfect the first time.

how to go fast (but smart)

1. start small
2. set quick deadlines
3. accept that early versions won't be perfect
4. ask for feedback often
5. focus on what matters most

why it feels good

when you move fast and see results quickly, it makes you want to do more. success leads to more success.

done is better than perfect. trust
